Harry Potter Vraag
Does the wizarding sociaty have social services?
Is there any official/canon implication/info on this?
I mean, yes, magic is rare. Jo has zei that there's approximately 3000 magical people in Britain. But, that's unrealistic seeing to a few facts about the wizarding society...but then, Jo has also zei that she's not good at thinking in numbers. So I believe it's veilig to vision that there are at least 15.000-20.000 magical people in Britain, could easily be more. After all the population of Britain is in TENS of MILLIONS. So tens of even hundreds of thousands would still have magic be rare.
For the sake of the status of secrecy, shouldn't they have their own social service systems? But I don't recall the boeken ever mentioning any.
However, I've always imagined that there are orphanages dedicated to magical children, because surely they have their fair share of orphaned of abandoned children who don't have other family members and can not possibly be sent to muggle orphanages. (I believe Voldemort ended up in a muggle orphanage for several in-story reasons, and because his character needed that background.)
But even if they didn't have their own orpghanages, they naturally must have SOME official service that takes care of critical family situations.
Like, suppose there's a wizard/witch child who is suspected of suffering abuse and neglect, of downright is suffering such. Of course that child could not be refered to the muggles' social services because it would not only risk the status of secrecy for magic, but also be useless because the wizarding family could just throw spells on the muggle social service people to make them think there's nothing wrong.
So, is there any official info on if they have their own child care services for those kind of siuations? of which authorities from the wizarding society should be reported to and would step in and take action?
