Canon[]

Is it canon? Wasn´t it stated that there is no school before Hogwarts except muggle ones? This would mean that the Charms School is not canon or in a different country.--Rodolphus 12:35, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

That information was provided by the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone videogame, which is considered canon. And why it could not be? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.75.104.164 (talkcontribs).

Way too much speculation[]

"In the real world, a charm school is a private school for girls that emphasises training in cultural and social activities. However, in the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the student who claims to have been in a charm school is a boy, suggesting this is a magical institution instead."

What exactly suggests it's a magical institution aside from the student's gender? "I went to Charm School when I was younger, but it was nothing like [Charms class]" suggests exactly the opposite -- the student is talking about actual, literal charm school.

Seeing as a charm school (aka finishing school) is a school specifically for girls, the fact that the student is a boy rules out the possibility of it being an ordinary actual charm school. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 12:29, September 23, 2015 (UTC)
