It would be cool if they did let some squibs into the school. Even though they can't do magic, they would be excellent in subjects such as Muggle Studies, Astronomy and even help out in subjects that do require magic. They could learn every spell by heart and be ready to tell their peers what to do in case of an emergency. They could collect and add all of the potion ingredients into the potion and just let the witch or wizard do the wandwork. There are people in the muggle world trying to do divination, so it would be very interesting to see squibs try to do divination. History of Magic would be a great subject that they may excel at as well. While they would not be able to defend themselves in case of a battle, squibs could be amazing at doing physical fighting and could teach Hogwarts students physical defences like karate. This could be an amazing fanfic.

And how much does reading ability really increase in class, anyway? It's not like they have classes specifically _for_ it. Reading ability increases with use. The more you read, the more quickly you'll be able to and the more words you'll pick up as you go. If you want to pass your OWLs and NEWTs, you are going to be doing a _lot_ of reading.

CaptianApe A squib knows about the wizarding world. He is just incapable of performing magic no matter how he tries. So yeah it wouldn't make sense having a squib at hogwarts. Like the only classes they could do would be herbology, magical history and muggle studies. It would be very difficult to integrate them with everyone else.

MatPat, the ministry has to have a law that allows public wizard schools to reject squibs. If they had to have squibs there, then what would they learn? They can't do magic, and all they do at Hogwarts is magic. It's like having a kid sit in the corner at a school where he had no use for anything he was learning, couldn't do anything he was learning, and overall didn't need to be there. That would waste the kids time learning stuff he had no use for. The only thing the squib could really use is History of Magic, which proves to be a bore anyway.

Actually @InfintyMagic you start the September after you turn 11 (so if your birthday is in September, October, November, or December you don't start until the following year - like Sirius Black, Tom Riddle, and Hermione Granger). You must have had your 11th birthday to be admitted. @James M - JKR has said herself that a certain level of magic is required for those subjects. Potions requires some magic in the brewing, Herbology in the growing, etc. This applies to subjects like Arithmancy and Ancient Runes too. Really, the only subjects they could learn would be History of Magic and Muggle Studies - one of which is not strictly useful and the other they could learn better in non-magical society.

[@WingDingzz]

Yeh but you need to learn a lot more topics in those subjects covered in high school. So when they came out of the school to find work, they would have the math skills of a ten year old

[@benitofranco372]

Also your thing about discrimination and squibs at the end makes no sense MatPat. You literally said what a squib is, a muggle born to wizard parents. You also mentioned how the school doesn't accept muggles. So just because a muggle has wizard parents, he/she should be allowed to attend? No, not really.

[@ItoFumika]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems that Hogwarts is the only institution of magical learning in the UK, and thus excluding squibs is a HUGE problem. You have these kids who grow up in wizarding culture, but aren't allowed to participate. Why can't they learn subjects like Muggle Studies, History of Magic, Astronomy, etc. which don't appear to use of magic? Why can't a squib utilize muggle devices to do Potions?

[@SasmakToy]

Beaux batons or whatever is french but they are elitist twats too and all their students are perfect looking and most likely rich. (french rival school from the 4th book) I have never thought about it this deeply but there could be a whole narrative created about the oppression of squibs. Hagrid is deeply troubled by his squib status and always wanted to be a wizard but elitist fucks like dumbledore probably kept him under their foot. What if Dumbledore knew that the spider wasn't the Slytherin monster and let Hagrid take the blame anyway just to fuck with him? What if harry's squib neighbor is under dumbledore's boot too? (she is, she was told to live there by him to keep an eye on Harry.) How many squibs are leading opressed lives and why do we not hear their stories more?

[@Supernovva79]

in the first book, hermione's parents were exchanging muggle money for gold at gringotts to pay for her shcool supplies

[@robotkirby7784]

Woah there. First off, Hagrid's story is specifically told to us in the second story, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Hagrid is said NOT to be a squib (as he shows his magical abilities in literally every movie and story) but was expelled for a crime he did not commit. They snapped his wand (what they do every time someone is expelled, it is quite common place) and the headmaster, not Dumbledore, wanted him to leave immediately. Dumbledore actually wanted to keep him there because of his knack with all sorts of different creatures, and it even says in the story that Tom Riddle was annoyed and knew he couldn't open the chamber anymore because Dumbledore suspected him. Dumbledore wasn't even headmaster, only the Transfiguration teacher. He couldn't stop what the headmaster was going to do, when there was so much evidence pointing to Hagrid. Also, it never mentions in the story that Harry's neighbor was a squib, just that she was placed there to keep an eye on Harry. Furthermore, sure, it mentions that squibs aren't allowed, but never says that they lead oppressed lives. By the way, the french people from the fourth book never mention anything about being rich, while being good-looking, sure, but hey, it's fucking MAGIC. As a side note, Dumbledore is beloved by all magical folk and squibs. He even gave a job to Filch, who was a terrible person and of course a squib, but he is always present in the books WITH A JOB. Dumbledore is definitely NOT an "elitist fuck". Therefore, I suggest you fucking READ THE BOOKS AND WATCH THE MOVIES before you come back and show your sorry ass your dumb fucking complaint again and realize all the mistakes you have made.

When students start attending hogwarts they’re eleven, meaning that most likely they went to some other school before attending hogwarts (like elementary/primary school) in that time they would have been able to learn to read and any mathematic principle that they would actually have to use in life because I surely don’t use quadratics everyday

[@EpicPinkCreeper]

but wizards have different laws so....

[@michaeliv284]

So do people from other cultures, despite Hogwarts being in the UK

[@lunarbrona4412]

yeah they are different they can do what they want

[@hexazalea]

To be fair the wizarding governments are not the same as the muggle goverments. The Macusa pre dates the united states and the british ministry of magic seems to still control ireland. Despite ireland also being independent in some way. Atleast to have its own national quiddictch team.

[@koalamanda8299]

Wales and Scotland have Quidditch teams of their own so I'm not sure what your point is there

[@gameboyman2]

I guess the idea is that people of the magic world including squibs pay taxes that are spent on discriminatory school like Hogwarts, which means that it is highly likely that the wizard world would also have anti -discrimination laws for schools that gets tax funding.

[@anniemacleod8264]

Ok how did Xavier's win? Considering there was only one category left worth one point and they had one point less than Hogwarts. Wouldn't it be tied?

[@retropie7087]

Annie Macleod Matpats logic is that the school is illegal because of the discrimination so it would be shut down.

[@yellowgoblin8934]

dont they have different laws? the Muggle world and the wizarding world

[@aaaj.1141]

Oh my God you are so right

[@archer9356]

Hogwarts would be illegal and Wizarding law includes most of muggle laws.

[@deltax930]

He's saying Hogwarts is disqualified for illegal discrimination

[@TheTubePoweredOne]

Implying, maybe, but he certainly didn't actually say that, unless, of course, I'm deaf or missed it the few times I played it back to double check some things. This is of course ignoring the fact that Ministry laws are most certainly much different from US and British law~

[@PamperedDuchess]

The Ministry of Magic is technically like a "black programme" within the UK government. Sure, the Minister For Magic may seem like the Prime Minister, but he's more like a member of the cabinet for the muggle Prime Minister. Thus, they still have to follow the rule of law as set forth by Parliament.

[@impadimprixie]

Delta X WELL, no acctually. If you sent a squib to hogwarts, everyone would pick on him, AND he would fail every single class since he need's magic! a squib can't use magic tho! are you getting my point yet?

[@Riqakard]

So a video with both "Hogwarts" and "Miss Perigrin's Home for Peculiar Children" in the title, Xavier's School wins

[@shreyap8606]

I was actually quite confused. Didn't Xavier and Hogwarts tie with points because of the last one?

[@siddakid3207]

Zen Person exactly, which is why they tied, So saying Xavier's Academy won when 3 isn't greater than 3 makes no sense

[@sebbiast4682]

Xaviers school won because hogwarts is illegal. Thats how i understood it.

[@angusheays2412]

Sebbiast yeah but wizards don't follow muggle's laws so

[@sebbiast4682]

Angus Heays I don't wanna get into that discussion. I'm not saying it's wrong i just don't wanna discuss it. But if you say so.

[@Spock1777]

But why would someone with out magic abilities go to a school. That's like a person in a wheelchair going to a school that teaches ONLY running.

[@ieatcheese9950]

True, but what if that wheelchair bound person wanted to learn about the math and skills behind running to help those who can in the future? They would obviously want to go to the school for running to get that education. The same applies to a squib. Just because they can't use it, doesn't mean they can't learn it, and it's even more wrong because they already know magic and wizards exist anyways. They have the same right to the knowledge as a muggle born wizard in their 11th year.

[@byrdistheword9194]

Plus, you don't need magic to brew potions, study history, know astronomy, learn arithmancy, or understand muggles. It's a shame the magical world is so discriminatory toward squibs; they're alienating a lot of potential brewers, historians, and muggle-relations personnel from an already small population.

[@MsCheshirskaya]

yeah... but this running school probably doesn't have all those classes, where he can study the physics/maths/chemistry of running. There are dozens of other schools though where he can study it

[@MsCheshirskaya]

To tell the truth, even for lighting the fire under the pot they use magic. And to turn on lights too. Is there any possibility that there are schools for squbs?

[@zelenilum290]

Who says, there are no other schools qere squibs can lern these things, exept potion brewing. You actually need magic for it.

[@sharky977]

"...And if you wish, a pet may be brought, whether a cat, owl, or toad" yes, i know this isn't the exact quote

[@grakenguy5149]

Does anyone else get upset that MatPat completely dispelled the idea of a tie, because both Xavier's and Hogwarts have three points at the end.

[@anniemacleod8264]

Graken guy YEAH EXACTLY

[@theseabassi9638]

I think it was because Hogwarts is technically illegal...

[@anniemacleod8264]

Portalhero2 but the ministry of magic is seperated from the muggle government

[@theseabassi9638]

Annie MacLeod Well sure, but I'm just following MatPat's logic within the video. He seemed unaware of this while making the theory, so I'm just explaining why he did this in accordance with his own logic.

[@anniemacleod8264]

Portalhero2 and im explaining it in realy logic 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@aryavratbaliyan2304]

But squibs aren't disabled, they just don't have magic

[@drfodwazle3783]

Aryavrat Baliyan how old are you? You’re basically saying that a paralyzed man is not disabled it’s just he can’t move

[@HimanshuShekhar1]

yea technically wizards are disabled since a majority of humans DON'T have magic(wizards are still humans they are just humans with magic )

[@HimanshuShekhar1]

and that would make hogwarts a disabled persons school which is legal

Don't try and say the same laws have to apply to both worlds. The Knight bus should've gotten a couple of speeding tickets by now. Heck the driver shouldn't have a licence

[@gumgumdookuin7963]

These schools are met with reality... Why shouldn't he?

[@danielc.santana5117]

GumgumDookuin well, primarily because Magical Britain has its own government, and last I checked separate governments are under no obligation to use the same laws as others. This pretty much means that Hogwarts has some leeway, and I’m pretty sure they also have a degree of autonomy as a charter school or something.

Emily C. Dumbledore wanted to be killed, and he planned it. And the creatures only attack when threatened. And what do you expect from wild creatures. They are wild, not some domestic pets.

[@deec.6355]

@@canweget1ksubswithoutanyvi608 first off, centaurs are probably evolved from humans, or a horse and human did what it took to have a child. Either way, centaurs are just as smart as humans, if not more. second, yes Dumbledore planned to be killed by Snape. However, he did not plan for death eaters to break into the school and endanger his students. Also, you didn't address the fact that there is a giant squid in the lake, a tree that can kill you, a basilisk specifically intended to kill students, (muggle-borns) a three-headed dog, a teacher merged with Lord Voldemort, a teacher that turns into a werewolf, a teacher who was faking being the person who was supposed to teach and turned out to be Lord Voldemorts spy in the school, a contest that managed to get sabotaged by previous teacher, a student dying at the hands of Lord Voldemort because of said sabotage, well.... you get the idea. I'm probably the biggest Harry Potter fan of all time, but even I can't deny that it is very dangerous. Also, GO HUFFLEPUFF.

[@bluejaywarrior2439]

They may not have the same laws in the harry potters universe, but this is they were theoretically in our world and we know about them. It would be unfair to let hogwarts stay hidden to the world while everyone knows about professor x’s school.

[@arhamshahid5015]

Bluejay Warrior even if they were in our world and we knew about them Hogwarts exists tight next to a completely wizard community (hogsmead) so it's not getting surrounded by the government anytime soon.plus I think even if we knew about the wizard I think they would still continue to have the same laws

[@bluejaywarrior2439]

Arham Shahid I have to disagree with you. The UK would definitely attempt to get the wizard community to abide by their laws. If the community chooses not to then we’d have a feud between the UK and wizards, making it even harder for normal people, like you and me, to get into Hogwarts. Don’t forget this is in the real world where the odds of us being wizards are very little.

[@MagicXRoads534]

9:35 I'm going to have to disagree with you one this one: some of the instances you cited are only a problem when Harry is there(snake in the plumbing, death eaters, the troll (which had to be let in by the way), and dementors), and apparently 60-ish years prior when Tom opened the chamber the 1st time. all the permanent hazards are easily avoided and well known (how harry didn't know about the tree is beyond me, and the forest is officially of limits)
