Harry Potter's initial acceptance letter was delivered by regular Muggle post, as Vernon and Petunia Dursley were aware of the existence of the wizarding world and Hogwarts. Hogwarts was able to magically tell whether or not a child had read his or her Hogwarts letter.
There is only one way that a student is selected to go to Hogwarts, and that choice isn't made by a person. In fact, it is made by a book and quill. In a tower at Hogwarts, where no student goes, sits the Book of Admittance and Quill of Acceptance. These objects decide who gets a place at Hogwarts.
In 1991, Harry Potter received his initial Hogwarts acceptance letter via Muggle Mail, but when the letter was taken from him by Vernon Dursley, the remainder were sent via owl post.
There are a couple of reasons why Mafalda Hopkirk mattered. Firstly, she was the one who wrote to Harry when he (or Dobby) performed illegal underage magic outside of school.
The letter is written on parchment paper and delivered to the recipient by owl, except in the case of Muggle-borns and magical children living with Muggles (such as Harry Potter), where the initial acceptance letter is delivered by the regular Muggle post.
The very first letter Harry receives at Hogwarts is from Hagrid inviting him to tea at the end of his first week. Harry's family, OTOH, only tolerate his presence in their home, nothing more. They do send him something small at Christmas time… if they remember.
Ing to the rules of the Harry Potter universe, only those with magical ability that are born in the United Kingdom and Ireland (or move there at a young age and manifest magic that then gets registered by the Hogwarts Book of Admittance and Quill of Acceptance) will get a Hogwarts letter.
Sending a letter All mailings are required to have postage, but if you don't have stamps with you, don't fret! Hogsmeade has you covered with two options. One stamp has Hogwarts castle and the other option is the Hogwarts Express. Each sheet of stamps includes ten stamps and each sheet costs $14.95.
When a student was Muggle-born the acceptance letter was delivered in person by a member of the Hogwarts faculty. The faculty member acted as a special messenger, who explained everything to the student and parents.
