UnfairRepresent 11/14/21 3:59:22 AM #1:	Every single kid has a wand. No fucking way a couple of them don't "try out" the illegal curses everyone talks about. Not to mention guys like levitating their friends (or enemies) off cliffs and then fucking up the spell and dropping them And you just know that creepy guy from Slytherin is going to use the mind control curse on that really hot Ravenclaw chick he obsesses over. Come to think of it, imagine what would have happened if Gilderoy Lockhart was still the Dark Arts teacher during the last couple of books. Would have been hilarious to see him deal with the evil Voldemort guys. Maybe oblivate Harry and claim credit for stopping Voldemort. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:959984276] in So how man...

Twinklestar 11/14/21 4:31:53 AM #11:	Very sure kids can goof up inside Hogwarts if they want to, and nothing's gonna stop them. The school really has terrible protection against mishap. Look at what Fred and George did all the time before they bailed out of the school, and heck, even Hermione, when she's only in her second year, can cook up a potion that she's not supposed to, without any teacher immediately getting alerted. Or our main trio going into the Forbidden area inside the school and the only thing nearly stopped them was Filch and his cat, who failed to see them. And all those dangerous animals Hagrid brought?

BloodMoon7 11/14/21 5:10:21 AM #22:	There's a special ward in the wizard hospital for the incredibly magically fucked iirc. I assume that's where they get sent. Otherwise it seems magic can fix most of magic problems. Levitating someone off a cliff without considering the danger is just stupid and you can't fix stupid. But it's essentially the same as regular muggle children playing near a cliff. Which you shouldn't do. The books explain that simply knowing the forbidden curses doesn't mean you can cast them effectively. It's safer than guns! In terms of controlling people, a love potion seems more problematic. You can just buy them premade and anyone can use it iirc (you can ban them but it'd be like trying to ban alcohol probably) They did teleportation and apparantly you can just get magic'd back together if you split like a banana, as long as they do it fast/you don't end up inside a wall. --- My maid will hear about this. <cite>BloodMoon7 posted [p:959984943] in So how man...

Kim_Seong-a 11/14/21 5:20:02 AM #27:	I mean your question is framed in a way that implies the number of deaths would be significantly higher than muggle schools. Plenty of kids die in real schools all the time. If anything, the number of kids accidentally levicorpus-ing each other over a bottomless pit is probably offset by the number of drug and traffic-related deaths muggle kids get into.

BloodMoon7 11/14/21 5:32:40 AM #30:	UnfairRepresent posted... 278 miles away as the kids are at a boarding school with like 17 teachers, several of which are evil Well that's still technically supervision. Are they supposed to not go to school? It may seem particularly dangerous but so that's just their lot in wizarding life. They only stopped the competition between schools after a lot of casualties. You'd think a few casualties would discourage that but wizards are crazy. Besides a lot of the danger in the books is just cause Harry showed up and plot needed to happen. It's probably at least 50% safer in ordinary circumstances. Also not a single teacher was actually evil at the time of their hiring, with the exception of Mad Eye Moody who was in pasta and debatably, Gilderoy Lockyourbrain. Squirrel was actually not evil when he was hired iirc, he became evil after. Imo the biggest problem is Hagrid. He's very irresponsible, even before being a teacher you will probably live longer if you avoid this man.

Squirrel was actually not evil when he was hired iirc, he became evil after. Imo the biggest problem is Hagrid. He's very irresponsible, even before being a teacher you will probably live longer if you avoid this man. I'm surprised his dog wasn't a pibble. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of rape and crime, with a fuck ton of injuries from kids either being malicious or stupid, but the only ones likely to die would probably be quick and/or brutal, and mostly accidents. I doubt any kid/teen is gonna waste years learning some forbidden mass instant death that might backfire on them when they can just stab, poison, or even just levitate people high enough. Maybe the school shooter types might learn how to fling a bunch of knives around or mass levitate a whole group or something(which would probably not be often), but I think it'd be way more likely for assault and sex crimes to be the more common problems. --- I do drawings and stuff https://www.fiverr.com/blueblitz <cite>itachi15243 posted [p:959985255] in So how man...

Neville didn't even have a wand at the time, he survived by sheer magic alone. Wands and such are just how wizards effectively channel magic but it's not like they would've always had wands.
