Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math?

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.

Wizards are, as a whole, pretty damn stupid in that universe to be fair

Yeah, none of them seem to be aware of guns. You now how often dark wizards do spells in the books to protect themselves against projectiles? Never. They never do a spell like that, so far as I know.

As far as I know, the Protego spell protects against physical forces. The reason no one uses projectiles (they certainly could catapult stuff around with spells as well) is probably because it's common knowledge that it does nothing.

Bullets are pretty quick though. Quicker than what it takes to spell Protego

But Protego is something that you can simply have up around you whenever.
