40 Questions We Have About Hogwarts Sex Ed

The Harry Potter series comes with one of the most thoroughly written worlds out there. But we still have some questions.

1. At what age in their Hogwarts career do students go through sex ed?

2. Which professors are responsible for these lessons? Just the students' heads of house? Madam Pomfrey? Or do they bring in specialists?

3. What's the curriculum like? Do they still use the banana-and-condom presentation so well-known to so many teens?

4. Who's in charge of establishing said curriculum? Dumbledore? The school's board of governors? The Wizengamot? Or is it up to parents? Did Harry have to learn everything from Ron and Hermione because the Dursleys didn't know shit?

5. What's the wizarding stance on abstinence-only education? And how much do wizard parents yell about it?

6. How much of the curriculum is carried over from the days of the original Hogwarts founders? And what kind of MAJOR FUCKUPS has that caused?

15. What's the process like for wizards seeking to transition? Is it simpler with spells and potions?

16. The books heavily imply that the wizarding world has a similar gender binary to the Muggle U.K., but are they more fluid about it because of their acknowledged existence of things like Metamorphmagi, Polyjuice potion, and a whole slew of other creatures/beings/ways to be?

17. Is mpreg a thing in the wizarding world?

18. What is wizarding birth control like? Spells? Potions? Barrier methods? Can you just cast a spell to sterilize yourself and then cast a reversal if you ever do want to conceive?
