Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math?
Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math?
He was abducted by Hagrid when he turned 11 so that would place him maybe around the fifth or sixth grade.
I don't know if canonically there are math classes at Hogwarts.
The thought came to while I was watching the anime Mashle. If you are into Harry Potter and One-Punch Man I'd recommend giving it a watch.
Someone mentioned this community below; I wanted to highlight it.

I'm sure Hogwarts also covered general education stuff but that would be boring to us so they focused on the magic stuff. That's my theory though.
They literally go through the class schedule in each book. General studies are not in it.
Can you imagine how absolutely ignorant the average Hogwarts student must be then?
Wizards are, as a whole, pretty damn stupid in that universe to be fair
What is the purpose of a rubber duck?
Yeah, none of them seem to be aware of guns. You now how often dark wizards do spells in the books to protect themselves against projectiles? Never. They never do a spell like that, so far as I know.
As far as I know, the Protego spell protects against physical forces. The reason no one uses projectiles (they certainly could catapult stuff around with spells as well) is probably because it's common knowledge that it does nothing.
Bullets are pretty quick though. Quicker than what it takes to spell Protego
But Protego is something that you can simply have up around you whenever.
Yeah. I a 1v1 the gun wins.

No they don't?
Boring? This is the same universe where wizards canonically defecated in the streets and used fecal vanishing spells.
However, when Hogwarts’ plumbing became more elaborate in the eighteenth century (this was a rare instance of wizards copying Muggles, because hitherto they simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence), the entrance to the Chamber was threatened, being located on the site of a proposed bathroom.

Hogwarts was in India all along and we just didn't know it.
Im surprised that’s so controversial. I would expect wizards to do exactly that if it wasn’t for modern plumbing, I mean, people used to shit in pots and dump it out their window into the street in the morning. Or crap in a cold and smelly hole inside a basic wooden shed out in their yard.
If you have magic at that point why would you not instead delete it afterwards, considering the alternatives?
Does vanishing feces mean it's deleted though or is it going to end up in the walls of buildings like Arby's wrappers left behind by construction workers?
I think there's a throwaway line in a book that a wizard discovered vanishing things sent them to another dimension.
Imagine it landed in our dimension and people are trying to make sense of it.
