Where Are the 3 MYSTERY Wizarding Schools? - Harry Potter Theory
Manage episode 433936648 series 3357092
In the Goblet of Fire we are introduced to schools outside of Hogwarts for the first time. And while Hogwarts remains a top choice for many aspiring witches and wizards, the truth is that there exists a VAST world of magical education beyond the familiar walls of Hogwarts. There may not be as many options as say..Muggle schools..That much is obvious, but according to JK Rowling there are actually 11 major wizarding schools worldwide.
“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.
“There are eleven long-established and prestigious wizarding schools worldwide, all of which are registered with the International Confederation of Wizards. Anyone wishing to know whether there is an approved magical school in their region should address an owl enquiry to the International Confederation of Wizards, Educational Office.”
During the primary Harry Potter books we learn about a couple of these schools like Durmtrang and Beauxbatons. And in the Fantastic Beasts series we learn a fair bit about a wizarding school in AMERICA named Ilvermorny.
But.. What about the other 7?
As of writing this, only EIGHT of the 11 major wizarding schools mentioned by Rowling have been confirmed, which leaves the door wide open for speculation. She first introduced the figure of ‘11’ schools back in 2016, but for reasons unknown has yet to name the 3 ‘mystery’ schools.
So, where ARE these 3 unidentified schools? What language do they speak? And what sort of magic do they specialize in?
Today we’re going to be discussing all of that AND MORE as we discuss the 11 major wizarding schools.
