I finally finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (which my lovely [livejournal.com profile] plumtreeblossom gave me) last night on the T. Spoilers and commentary in my first comment below. (I didn’t want to just put them behind a cut-tag, since some people have LJ configured to auto-expand cut tags when they go to somebody’s journal directly.)

There are spoilers in the comments.

A young wizard or witch graduates from wizarding school at 17 or 18, and unless I've missed something very big, their formal education ends there and no such thing as college exists...

The wizarding population isn't big enough, apparently, to support colleges and universities. Last week I read a rather exhaustive analysis (to the point where I, a fan, was yawning and wondering whether they didn't have better things to do) of the population and economy of wizarding Britain; it made a pretty convincing case that they couldn't afford higher education. If you want to wade through it, it's http://www.redhen-publications.com/WizPopulation.html ...
