thought on the amount of people in hogwarts: classes are combined between two houses, so half of each year would be in one class at once. there’s only one teacher per subject, so only one group could be doing, say, potions at one time. there really aren’t enough kids at hogwarts to fill a whole bigass castle, huh?

yeah but like 3 quarters of the castle is filled with dumbie’s death traps

also : in harry’s first year, all the students were born during the war. and people have less kids during the war, and some of them die, so i think there are usually more students
