| Jan 2, 2022 at 22:45 | comment | added | G_B | @Criggie Not within the books, but unfortunately this has been addressed by JKR. I think general consensus is that it did indeed detract from the storytelling. | |
| Jan 2, 2022 at 21:47 | comment | added | Stathis Artis | It could be just one student messing up a spell. | |
| Mar 2, 2021 at 14:00 | comment | added | Bob Jarvis - Слава Україні | I strongly suspect that a story which included sex between underage boarding school students would have been unpublishable. | |
| Mar 18, 2019 at 0:57 | comment | added | Criggie | Similar vein - noone is seen peeing or pooping or showering or washing dishes either. Its just assumed that these things happen in the background and would detract from the storytelling. | |
| Feb 14, 2018 at 23:41 | comment | added | Valorum | @Edlothiad - Yes. Normal sexual behaviour is something you'd expect to be appropriate for a site aimed at people aged 13+. | |
| Feb 14, 2018 at 23:29 | comment | added | Edlothiad | @Valorum is this question appropriate for a family friendly site? | |

| Aug 1, 2017 at 18:07 | comment | added | BlueWizard | I have to agree with MajorStackings. We can't assume it's missing just because it's not written. This sort of assumption would either lead to massive cannon flaws or very thick books which describe mundane things to you over and over again. | |
| Apr 24, 2017 at 3:45 | comment | added | EvilSnack | Maybe it's because JKR doesn't have romantic frustration issues, and therefore doesn't need to compensate in her writing. | |

| Nov 14, 2016 at 13:01 | comment | added | komodosp | Most likely because it's a series of books for children. Julia Donaldson didn't feel the need to write how The Gruffalo's Child came to be either. | |
| Nov 14, 2016 at 9:36 | comment | added | Valorum | @AndrewMattson - Her other books (non-Harry Potter) have extensive sex scenes that are just awful. We should all be glad that she didn't include any wizard rumpy-pumpy | |
| Nov 14, 2016 at 4:33 | comment | added | PoloHoleSet | They probably do, just no one is dumb enough to put explicit sexual passages in kids' books. | |

| Jul 14, 2014 at 19:26 | comment | added | Valorum | @jeff - I also voted to reopen. I fail to see why a question with canon (in and out of universe) answers should be considered opinion-based. | |

| Jul 14, 2014 at 17:29 | comment | added | Jeff | I have voted to reopen. While only opinions as to why Wizarding children would not have the same actions and desires as Muggle children would be primarily opinion-based, I believe the answers given provide ample counter-evidence as a response to the question. I would support Protecting this question, as it does seem to be a magnet for low-quality answers, but I don't think it needs to be closed. | |
| Jul 14, 2014 at 16:03 | comment | added | Major Stackings | It seems to me that every story that I have ever read has something undescribed, and/or left out. How do we know the students weren't humping like mad bunnies at every page break? JKR didn't feel the need to spell it out, and the series made her richer than the Queen of England. Had the story been more titillating, I'm sure her fan base would have shifted. Whether or not her profits would have risen or fallen is a matter of opinion. | |
