Map of select wizarding schools around the world

Map of select wizarding schools around the world

"The number of countries that have their own magical school is minuscule compared to those that do not. This is because the wizarding populations of most countries choose the option of home schooling. Occasionally, too, the magical community in a given country is tiny or far-flung and correspondence courses have been found a more cost-effective means of educating the young."
— Overview of wizarding schools[src]

Awizarding school, also called amagical school, was an educational institution which providedmagical instruction to youngwitches and wizards.[1]

There were eleven long-established and prestigious wizarding schools throughout the world, all of which were registered with theInternational Confederation of Wizards. Smaller and less well-regulated institutions were rarely registered with the appropriate Ministry and were difficult to keep track of. However, most countries in the world did not have their own wizarding school. Magical children in these countries were typicallyhomeschooled or educated via correspondence courses.[1]

Most primary education prior to attending wizarding schools also took place at home. Whether inadvertently or deliberately, children could usemagic and attract unwelcome attention, and this was the same forMuggle-borns.[2]

School locations[]

The exact locations of most wizarding schools were kept secret, both to prevent the schools from being discovered byMuggles and to protect them from the harmful effects of war or interference by domestic or foreign governments. Generally, magical schools were situated in landlocked, mountainous areas, which were difficult to access withoutmagic and easier to defend in case of attack.[1] There were, however, exceptions, such asMahoutokoro School of Magic located on the island ofMinami Iwo Jima,[3] andCastelobruxo in theAmazon rainforest.[4]

Range and regulation[]

The vast majority of countries in the world did not have their own wizarding school.[1] Wizards and witches in these countries generally chose to homeschool their children instead.[1] Correspondence courses were also sometimes used as a cost-effective method of providing magical instruction to young witches and wizards in countries with very small or isolated wizarding populations.[1]

Wizarding schools generally admitted students from whatever country in which they were based, but some served multiple nations or a broad geographical region, or at least were open to accepting international students on a selective basis.Castelobruxo,Ilvermorny andUagadou accepted students from all over their respective continents,[5][6][4] whereasHogwarts only accepted students from theUnited Kingdom andIreland.[7][8]

The school with the smallest number of students wasMahoutokoro, and the school with the most students was Uagadou.[5][3]

Some schools also enforced special restrictions with regard to the admission of students. TheDurmstrang Institute, for example, did not acceptMuggle-born witches and wizards.[9]

TheEducational Office of theInternational Confederation of Wizards was responsible for cataloguing and overseeing wizarding schools around the world, namely the eleven oldest, most respected ones.[1] Smaller wizarding schools existed, but these were often short-lived and poorly-regulated, as most were not registered with the respectiveMinistry of Magic of the country in which they operated.[1] The quality of magical education on offer at these smaller, unregistered institutions was thus questionable.[1]Africa was known to have been home to a number of smaller wizarding schools in addition toUagadou.[5] The bookAn Appraisal of Magical Education in Europe covered publicly available information on various wizarding schools in Europe.[10][9]

Interaction between schools[]

Every five years, a competition known as theTriwizard Tournament was held between the three major European wizarding schools:Beauxbatons,Durmstrang, andHogwarts.[11] One champion was selected to represent each school[11] (with the exception of the1994 Triwizard Tournament, when Hogwarts ended up with two champions)[12][13] to compete in an array of deadly challenges.[11] The winning school received theTriwizard Cup.[11]

A fierceWizard's Chess rivalry existed between Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, with Hogwarts' spirits eventually being crushed in atournmanent prior to the1980s. Hogwarts' reputation for Wizard's Chess was reprised, however, whenJacob's sibling defeatedCeline Castillon in theWalter Aragon Wizard Chess Competition.[14]

TheWizarding Schools Potions Championship was held in seven-year intervals between students of Hogwarts,Koldovstoretz,Mahoutokoro andUagadou. The winning school received agolden cauldron.[15]

Castelobruxo inBrazil offeredstudent exchange programmes to pupils at wizarding schools in Europe.[4] There was apparently also an international pen-friend programme in place for students of Castelobruxo and Hogwarts.[4][16]Bill Weasley wanted to take an exchange trip to Castelobruxo, but had to back out becausehis family could not afford the expense, leading his upsetCastelobruxo pen-friend to send him acursed hat.[4][16]Beauxbatons Academy of Magic also offered a student exchange programme.[17]

In the2011–2012 school year, theIntercontinental Wizard's Cup was held between Hogwarts, Mahoutokoro, andIlvermorny. There were three challenges, with each school choosing a task, and the winner received theIntercontinental Trophy.[18]

Specialised schools[]

Outside of general education, thewizarding world offered specialised schools of learning as well. Such schools include theAcademy of Broom Flying,[19]Charm School,[20]Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages,[21]Merge School of Under-Water Spellage,[22]The Naaszcademy of Magizoology[23] and theWizarding Academy of Dramatic Arts.[24]

Behind the scenes[]

  • Known wizarding schools serve more than half of the world map, but home-schooling and correspondence courses are most common in the world and magical people in most countries choose them. The compatibility of the two suggests that, even with the vast coverage of magic schools, most of their students are from the country in which the school is located. For example, Beauxbatons contains a large number of Spanish, Portuguese, Belgian, Dutch, and Luxembourgish student, but the majority of students was French (the country of their location).
  • TheSalem Witches' Institute was once thought by some fans to be a wizarding school in theUnited States.J. K. Rowling has since revealed that the Salem Witches' Institute is a play on theWomen's Institute in Britain.[37]
  • It is unknown howMuggle-borns in countries without a magical school receive a magical education or if there are Muggle-borns unaware of their powers: this could cause issues regarding theStatute of Secrecy.
    • One method could be said that they can attend schools with a wider acceptance range. (Ex: a Belgian Muggle-born could attendBeauxbatons Academy of Magic, a Canadian Muggle-born could attendIlvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or a Nigerian Muggle-born could attendUagadou.)
    • It is worth noting that the eleven wizarding schools mentioned in canon are not the only ones in the world. There are many other smaller wizarding schools around the world for children who cannot or don't want to attend the "Great 11". Africa is said to encompass many smaller schools besideUagadou.
    • It is possible that some independent teachers that are not employed by any school have specialised in teaching Muggle-borns. Before the founding of Hogwarts,Queen Maeve was famous for teaching young Irish wizards, and Pottermore states that home-schooling is still common in the wizarding world.
  • Until the summer of1994,Harry Potter had not given much thought to wizarding schools outside of Hogwarts. It was only when he saw some foreign students and informed byHermione Granger that they must attend Beauxbatons that he became aware of this.
  • Beauxbatons, Durmstrang and Hogwarts have been described as the three largest wizarding schools in Europe, meaning that there is at least one other wizarding school on the continent, possibly includingKoldovstoretz, as most of Russia's population is in the European part of the country.
  • It is not known so far where the three remaining schools of the Great 11 are located. JK Rowling did, however, hint in a tweet that one of them could be located inAustralia.[38]
  • InHarry Potter: Magic Awakened it is revealed thatRobyn Thistlethwaite's mother, a Chinese witch, studied at a school inChina, but it is unknown if it was one of the eleven schools.[39]
