Here's where Harry Potter comes in:
"That's why I dislike films like 'Harry Potter' which tend to romanticize such places. I think they are a very cruel setting in which to grow up and I don't feel children benefit from that type of education. Children need their parents and the love parents can provide."
From that perspective, fair enough, although Hogwarts was the only place an orphan like Harry Potter felt real love. It was home for him. But, yeah, those of us who longed to get an owl-delivered letter from Hogwarts at age 11 would do well to remember that real boarding schools are often less than magical. But still. It would be fun to join a Quidditch team.
