With a little more muggle magic (maths), we’ve then broken down the cost of attending Hogwarts into categories, including uniform, equipment, books, spending money and travel. This gave us an estimated cost of attending Hogwarts in 2021, in both real-world (£/$/€) and wizarding currency. We then converted these costs into GBP (£) using the Wizarding World Currency Exchange and adjusted this for inflation. Firstly, it's worth mentioning that British Wizarding currency is separated into three different types of coins: One Knut isĪs confirmed by JK Rowling, we know that one Galleon was equivalent to around £5 when Harry was attending Hogwarts in the early nineties.įor each item mentioned in the shopping lists which Hogwarts students receive at the beginning of each school year, we researched mentions across the Harry Potter books, Pottermore archives and other material to confirm in-universe prices of everything a budding wizard or witch would need – from textbooks to brooms. Sceptical? It doesn’t take the Dark Arts to calculate the cost of Hogwarts tuition, just good old muggle maths and a little ingenuity. The true cost of attending Hogwarts in 2021 would be £7,336.92, or 1,467 Galleons, 6 Sickles, and 22 Knuts in wizarding currency. But the question is, how much does it cost to attend Hogwarts? And what’s the running total for us mere muggles? The Potters left Harry a sizeable stack of coins to make sure their son could afford the seven years of tutorage required to become a bona fide wizard. How Much Would It Cost to Attend Hogwarts in 2021? Take a look at what we turned up, and how we worked things out, below. To celebrate Harry Potter Book Night on 24 th June and the 20 th anniversary of the film franchise, we’ve waved our wands to work out just how much a place at Hogwarts would cost in real life. But say an owl did drop a Hogwarts letter down your chimney – would you be up for enrolling at the famous School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in September? And, more importantly, could you even afford it? Us muggles may not have a vault in Gringotts or a mind for magic, but that hasn’t stopped a generation dreaming of joining the wizarding world.
