This potential often surfaced many generations later. In Britain, these Muggle-born wizards and witches would often join the wizarding world when they were invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Terry Boot was listed as a Muggle-born on Rowling's draft class list, but in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, he was shown to be attending his seventh year at Hogwarts despite Muggle-borns being banned from the school while Lord Voldemort was in power.
When Muggle-born witches and wizards reached the age of eleven in the British wizarding community, their Hogwarts acceptance letters were delivered in person by a member of the staff, instead of by owl post (the usual postal system for wizards and witches).
It depends, because some muggle stuff people need in Hogwarts, such as ink, quills, pieces of parchment, trunks, pets and the like. But if it's technological, like a radio or a phone, it wont work, because Hogwarts was built in a way so that tech things could go haywire.
How is Hermione a wizard if her parents are Muggles?
She is magical. Even though she is muggle-born and has no wizarding ancestry, magic is a recessive trait carried by both of her parents or some sort of gene mutation. The books aren't 100% clear on this. From the moment she was born, her name was on a list of magical children put down to go to Hogwarts.

Do Hermione's parents know she's a witch?
She and her husband were proud and accepting of their daughter's identity as a witch, which explained some strange things which happened around her when she was a child. They entered the magical world in 1992 to buy Hermione's school supplies, and were assisted by Arthur Weasley.
Coincidentally, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley are each of the three distinct types of wizards; Harry being a half-blood, Hermione being a Muggle-born, and Ron being a pure-blood.
Those who could not prove that they had magical heritage — in other words, any Muggle-born and potentially some half-bloods — were sentenced to Azkaban for having "stolen" magic. Some, however, were apparently released after being stripped of their wands and their jobs, and ended up homeless.
It has nothing to do with genes and is just a construct of wizarding society. So the magical child of two muggle-born would be half-blood and a non-magical chld of two muggle-born a squib.
She also has a drive to be the best, which Ravenclaws aren't known for. As a result, her inherent competitive side would have clashed with a Ravenclaw's natural inclination to learn for the sake of learning.
It's not clear if Hermione directly told Draco that (as far as I recall in first year they never talked directly). I think it's more likely that he heard it from someone else. Draco knows a lot of the pureblood families so he probably was aware that Granger wasn't a wizarding surname.
Yes, although we haven't met any in the seven Harry Potter novels. The Pottermore introduction to Slytherin says: […] we have traditionally tended to take students who come from long lines of witches and wizards, but nowadays you'll find plenty of people in Slytherin house who have at least one Muggle parent.
Hermione's Parents Had Their Memories Restored According To Harry Potter Canon. This tragic ending for Hermione and her parents never happened in the Harry Potter books. This is because Hermione didn't just erase her parents' memories—she rewrote them using a False Memory charm.
Diagon Alley is a high street located in London. It is accessible to the wizarding world, to which it is something of an economic hub, but hidden from Muggles (non-magical people). However, Muggles are allowed access to it if they need to accompany their Muggle-born magical children.
Despite Hogwarts being unplottable, it showed up on the Marauder's Map. This may suggest that while outside maps cannot record unplottable places, maps made to detail a place while at the place are still allowed.
Harry describes Umbridge to Sirius Black, saying that she's vile enough to be a Death Eater, despite not being one. Umbridge is also depicted to be a prejudiced person, despising half-breeds and Muggle-born witches and wizards to the point of firing Hagrid due to his half-giant birth status.
If the muggle knew about the magic world then he would be sentenced by wizard. If he did not know and just, lets say robbed a wizard and shot him with no knowledge of it. Then the cops would report who it was and what he had, Ministry of Magic would hear about it through their connections in the muggle world.
Witches and wizards with non-magical parents are called Muggle-borns. There have also been some children known to have been born to one magical and one non-magical parent. People of this mixed parentage are called half-bloods; magical people with any Muggle ancestry on the one side or the other are half-bloods as well.
Keep in mind that Filch was a Squib- so did have some magical blood despite not being able to use magic- so there's always a super slim hope that they have 'latent' ability or even some minor ability to be developed. A Muggle has none (or at least none they know of...) and can never learn real magic.
Draco Lucius Malfoy (b. 5 June 1980) was a British pure-blood wizard and the only son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy (née Black). The son of a Death Eater, Draco was raised to strongly believe in the importance of blood purity. He looked down on half-bloods and Muggle-borns.
An interesting fact of note is that despite the ideals that pure-bloods are inherently more powerful wizards, some of the most powerful or particularly adept wizards and witches in the series are in fact either half-blood (such as Lord Voldemort, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape and Harry Potter) or ...
