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 think we can agree to disagree on the sneak attack/sniper from a half a kilometer away.
I did not know that about the Jedi, though. I really was going to write “Sith” but said fuck it because I figured someone with the wherewithal to cut a bad guy in half wouldn’t have a moral system that would prevent them from crushing a head. Plus, it was a callback to a long forgotten skit (I think it was on SNL, but it could have been any of those sketch shows) where the character would look at a person standing far away through his thumb and forefinger and make it look to him like he was crushing their heads.
The Jedi do use their force power to kill droids, though, and droids in the franchise certainly possess self-awareness, and are conscious beings who demonstrate every human behavior, so I have to wonder how that’s handled. I think I remember someone getting offended because he was called “just a droid.”
I kind of lost interest in the franchise after the first prequel, and so I’m obviously forgetting a lot. Plus, I skipped most of the recent movies (although I’m told the new series is really good, and I did enjoy the first season of Mando.
Anyway, thanks for teaching me something!
Plus, killing an Abrams with a rock is pretty funny. It reminds me of the Beverly Hill Cop scene where Eddie Murphy puts a banana in the guy’s tailpipe.
The jedi are pretty warped in their sense of morality… ethics and philosophy.
It’s improper to grow connections, yet the force is a mystical energy field that connects all things…
It’s improper to (force) choke a guy out, but it’s totally fine to chop off his arm. Or leg. or hand. Or hands, legs and arms.
Slavery is illegal, yet infants are taken by the order and brainwashed into servitude. anyone who washes out of being a jedi joins the auxilary service corps; mopping decks, unloading cargo, and generally doing stuff most binary droids are capable of…
but in any case, back to the topic at hand; the point I’m trying to make is that, while yes… it’s possible, it’s fairly unlikely. sure, an Abrams could be taken out with a single rock chucked at it. but you don’t see anyone stocking up on anti-tank rocks. Even with the centaurs and the giant spiders… eventually everyone gets away from them. Umbridge was little more than irritated. and that, more at Potter than at the centaurs.
that’s kind of the problem with magic that’s overpowering. Rowling solved the problem by basically excluding muggles from the story altogether- they’re only vaguely aware of things happening at all- they see people disappearing, they see the ‘accidents’ happening. But they don’t know there’s witches, and that a war is on, they don’t know that the bridge collapsed because of terrorism… just that the bridge collapsed.
Star wars handled it by making lesser jedi vulnerable to those things. (like the battle in ep 2, where most of the jedi karked it to the overwhelming numbers of battle droids.) while people like Ahsoka murder them by the battalion… as a preteen.
(PS, if you liked Mando… try Andor. No jedi stuff. my favorite guy is the dude with the anvil.)
Kids in the Hall is the I’m crushing your head skit.
Yup, that was it. Thanks!
