Proving once again that she’s a woman of the people.

In addition to the cost of wands, owls and all of the other wizarding paraphernalia one would need for a year at Hogwarts, Mic decided that "while some insist that tuition at Hogwarts is free, we'll say that tuition must cost something," offering a hypothetical figure of $42,000 per year, which works out at around £27,000.
That would put Hogwarts roughly in line with Marlborough College, once attended by Kate Middleton, which costs non-boarding students £28,830 per year.
But Rowling confirmed that, "the Ministry of Magic covers the cost of all magical education," and that there are no tuition fees at Hogwarts.
Although Rowling has never spoken directly on her opinions about fee-paying schools, she is a vocal supporter of Labour after her experiences living on benefits, so it comes as little surprise that she would want Hogwarts to be accessible to all.
