10 Problems With Harry Potter Movies That Nobody Wants To Admit
6. Parents Let Their Children Go Back To Hogwarts Year After Year, Despite The Incidents
Imagine if something bad happened, year after year, at your child's school. Not something commonplace like bullying, or something even less-glimpsed, like a teacher seducing a student, but something life-threatening. You know, like kids either nearly being killed or kids actually being killed. You'd ponder whether they were at the right school, right? And yet, for some reason, parents in the Wizarding World are pretty cool about putting their children in harm's way, because "danger" is apparently number one on the Hogwarts syllabus. Every year there's an "incident" of some sort, which usually results in a death or something close to a death; paralysis, or a serious injury. Despite its standing as a prestigious school and a super safe place to be, would the parents of Harry Potter really let their children go back, year after year, to a castle where an ever-increasingly dangerous series of situations continue to arise? Probably not.
