From the age of seven to eighteen, they had to go to school in Hogwarts. It sounded like the policy of Muggle School.
Generally speaking, in the magic world, parents were more used to bringing their children under the age of eleven to take care of them, rather than sending them to boarding schools like Hogwarts. In addition to the fact that the children were too young and lacked the ability to take care of themselves, the most important reason was that everyone's magic awakened at different times. Some children might show signs of magic rebellion when they were babies, while others might show signs at the age of ten or even eleven.
For young wizards who had not awakened or had not fully developed their magic power, it was useless to go to a magic school.
They had no way to learn magic. Did they have to go to school to receive ideological education and quality education?!
Even Boothbottom, which had set up a low-grade class, was not forced. It was a voluntary choice.
They would provide some necessary basic education for young wizards who had awakened their magic power. This kind of class was not the kind that lasted for more than half a year, but the kind that would gather everyone regularly for class. On the day of the gathering, parents and children would be invited to Boothbottom to visit the school and be taught some basic knowledge of controlling magic power.
As for the current policy of the Ministry of Magic, it was purely to make magic education compulsory.
Forcing all young wizards of the right age to report to Hogwarts, other than making it easier for the Lord Voldemort to control and educate these children, there was no other purpose. It seemed that the Lord Voldemort intended to use this method to train his reserve army.
It had to be said that the Lord Voldemort still had a long-term plan. This was also one of the differences between him and other dark wizards.
This major education policy almost changed the history of Hogwarts. Before this, entering Hogwarts was never compulsory. Hogwarts also did not accept young students. Although almost all the male and female wizards in Britain graduated from Hogwarts, parents still had the right to choose to teach their children at home or send them abroad if they thought it would be better.
Just like now, all the children of wizards would grow up under the eyes of the Lord Voldemort, from a young age to an adult.
When they had just learned to speak and read, they might not even have formed their three views, but they would have to accept the brainwashing education of the Lord Voldemort.
From a young age, becoming a dark wizard was their life goal.
This was simply terrifying!
After a period of training, the number of Death Eaters would increase rapidly.
At the same time, as a complementary policy to the Muggle registration system, this education reform was undoubtedly another way to eliminate Muggle wizards. Before entering school, they had to show proof of their bloodline identity, and the Ministry of Magic would judge whether they had a legitimate wizard bloodline.
From this year onward, there might be a situation where those Muggle new students would happily board the Hogwarts Express with their newly bought spell books and other things. However, they would never see Hogwarts or their families again.
Death Eaters waiting on Hogwarts Express would catch of them and of of of of of them to of of of of. to Muts of Hogwarts. of

The gloomy and terrifying Wizard Prison and the even more terrifying Dementors would be their only impression of the World of Magic.
"As long as Snape and Carlo are here, Hogwarts will definitely become a mess. It will no longer be the school that we are familiar with," Elaine said sadly, as if remembering something.
"Don't be sad, Elaine. The professors and students who stay will not compromise easily. It will not be easy for them to change Hogwarts," said Elwyn. But just like Elaine said, Hogwarts would definitely become very chaotic. He did not doubt Snape's loyalty, but Snape's teaching philosophy might have many similarities with Lord Voldemort's.
Towards dark magic, towards the Muggle students' attitude, and the traditional Slytherin's view, etc …
The new principal, Snape, might not be as radical as Lord Voldemort, but he would definitely be different from the tolerant and open Dumbledore.
This semester, Hogwarts would be different from the rest of the world.
"As long as Dumbledore comes back, everything will change …" Elwyn repeated.
At this moment, Hermione stepped into the kitchen once again.
"I remember this!" she said breathlessly.
Hermione was holding a very large framed portrait. She lowered the portrait to the floor, then forcefully stuffed the portrait into a small bag decorated with beads. It was a bag that she had made with the Traceless Stretching Charm during the holidays. Although the portrait was too large to fit into such a small bag, it disappeared after a few seconds. Like many other things, it fell into the endless abyss of the small bag.
"Phineas Blake!" Hermione threw the small bag on the table, and with an unusually loud clang, she explained, "Snape might have sent him to check this house, so he would know that we are here, and even know what we are doing. But now, all he can see is the contents of my handbag."
Phineas Blake could easily walk back and forth between his portrait in Grimmauld Square and the portrait hanging in the principal's office in Hogwarts. As the new principal, Snape could order the previous principal's portrait to work for him, and he might ask Phineas Blake to come back to check on the news.
Hermione's considerations were quite comprehensive. Although Elwyn felt that ever since Harry mentioned Lord Voldemort's name, Lord Voldemort and the Death Eaters should have already confirmed that they were in Grimmauld Square.
"It's always good to be careful." Elwyn said, stretching. "We don't know when Sirius will return. If there's nothing else, we should start studying the information on the Gold Chalice and the title deed."
"I can roughly confirm the location of the land Slytherin left behind. It's in the northern part of Greece, near Mount Olympus." Hermione said, taking out a map filled with symbols. "That mountain is the sacred mountain of ancient Greece, the place where the gods lived. There are many ancient magical ruins, and it is still the focus of wizards' exploration. If the despicable Hellball's nest was there, then the ruins left behind may not have been explored. We can definitely find something there, but I need to confirm its exact location. If we find it, are we going to Greece? "
"Yes, we'll see. If there's a need, we'll go to Greece," Elwyn said.
