re: What’s the end game for all the students in Hogwarts?

Underage wizards can't use any magic at all on break outside of school can they?

They are not suppose to use magic outside of school. If they can get away with it depends on where they live.

If they live with a magic family that actively uses magic, it's up to the parents to keep track of their kids and keep them from using magic.

If they live with muggles, they have a trace charm put on them. If any magic is used in the vincinity of this person, the government knows about it. This trace wasn't fully explained how it was deactivated when Harry went to the Weasley's.

In the movies, Harry does magic practicing in his bedroom at night, this does not happen in the books and shouldn't of ever been in the movie. The books also had a lot of issues with the trace, like Voldy killing his father/family before he was of age and Hermione talking about doing spells before her first year.
