Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing whether or not Muggle parents ever visit their magical children at Hogwarts.

It goes without saying--and yet, I'm about to say it--that if you found out your child was a witch or wizard and was about to get shipped off to some magical castle out in the middle of the Scottish highlands, you'd WANT TO VISIT.

First let's address the fact that it would be a bit dodgy to send your kid off to some castle out in the middle of nowhere, under the care of an elderly looking man with a super long beard who likes to dress in what looks to be eccentric multi-coloured pyjamas. Second of all--once you'd determine that your child would be quite safe at this "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"--you'd be mad if you DIDN'T want to see it for yourself. Imagine, discovering as a middle-aged adult that MAGIC IS REAL. Of course, you'd want to go.

So, the question today is...do they get to? Do Muggle parents get to visit their children at the magical school of Hogwarts?
