>Dumbledore introduces the Bulgarian wizards>"Please meet our friends from the north"Does Dumbledore not realize that Bulgaria is south of Britain?
>>222313418burly foreigners come from the norf
>>222313418Only Krum is Bulgarian. Durmstrang is 'in the fjords on Sweden's north-western coast' because JKR is geographically illiterate or in the Potter universe the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway never dissolved
Durmstrang canonically takes all students from Germany, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. And is in Scandinavia, if I remember correctly.Hogwarts is the only school that only covers that small a space.

>>222313480>Hogwarts is the only school that only covers that small a space.As the other anon said, JKR is just illiterate geographically. Hence why the Brits get their own school but then Europe splits between a French one and a Scandinavian one, all of the former Eastern Bloc EXCEPT Bulgaria then goes to the Russian one, all of South America goes to the Brazillian one and China, Korea, Japan and the entire Indian subcontinent all go to the Japanese one.
>>222313517>China, Korea, Japan and the entire Indian subcontinent all go to the Japanese oneImagine the smell and class sizes
>>222313517maybe they homeschool
>>222313418Durmstrang just moves around between generally moody places, hence the name.
>>222313465Maybe Wizarding Sweden still includes Norway.If Scotland seceded from the UK, it would still be part of Wizarding Britain because the mages would tell the muggles to fuck off with their nonsense.
>>222313465>the United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway never dissolvedDoes wizarding Ireland still sort under the magic Wittan?
>>222313517It’s more that it started as a simple kid’s book and she didn’t really think there would be hundreds of thousands of manchildren sperging about the real world logistics of her last ditch worst witch ripoff. I mean nobody gives a shit about how Willy Wonka’s glass elevator manages to fly around in space, right?
>>222315218no such thing, Ireland is part of Wizarding Britain. All of it. That's why Seamus is at Hogwarts
maybe wizard blood is stronger in caucasians and that's why there's need for less schools in other parts of the world
>>222313529indians with magic *shudders*
>>222313418Durmstrang is a racist caricature of the overly stern Germanic/Prussian school. For this, JK should be sued.
>>222313529Imagine teaching a bunch of indians how to brew love potions.
>>222315319by who, the kaiser?
>>222315289I think its more that they only ever mention the other two schools in the books. The rest of the world's schools are shit she just tacked on later. Also I know the other schools could be bigger, one is like a whole magical mountain.
>>222315181Funnily this is implied to be the case for Wizarding Ireland given the British ministry is responsible for the Quidditch World Cup involving the Irish team. Also as >>222315265 points out, Seamus "Potatofamine O'Carbomb" Finnegan is at Hogwarts.>>222315218The issue with Norway however is Sweden-Norway was the successor (in regards to Norway) to Denmark-Norway, so if anything Wizarding Norway should be under Denmark (and Wizarding Finland under Sweden).Or they should all be a single 'Wizarding Kalmar Union' still, but a functional form of the Kalmar Union is less realistic than anything Rowling ever rote
>>222315319>>222315347Don't worry, my German-Argentine great-grandfather forgave her because apparently "the portrayal of the Goblin question" made up for it. No idea what he was on about there.
>French Hogwarts is an all girls schoolWhere do the male French wizards go to school?
Why did the other wizard countries not do anything about Voldemort? Was it nazi appeasement again?
>>222315533That's not canon.
>>222315533It was only an all-girls school in the movie. In the books it was just the big school in Central europe.
>>222315533>male>FrenchAnon...I...
>>222315551Because Voldemort was a provincial British schizo beefing with a boarding school and like 40 civil servants. To the rest of wizard Europe it was just "island monkeys at it again" until he took over the ministry, and by then the French were already drafting surrender parchment.
>>222315251as far as I know Roald Dahl didn't spend decades after writing that book adding hundreds of useless and badly thought-out details to the world he had created, Rowling could easily ignore the freaks obsessed with her work but she wants to keep the brand alive
Reminder that Harry Potter canon is the books and the books only, not the deranged tweetings of a woman that obsesses about trannies for no reason 24/7
>>222318523>obsesses about trannies for no reason 24/7does she? From what I've seen she said something about muh oppressed women (being a radical feminist and all) that excluded men in skirts and this sent the trans community into a frothing rage. Since she never backed down she has since become the number one public enemy of trannies somehow, and leftist can't even mention her name in any context anymore without commenting on how vile her transphobia is
>>222318689I don't give a fuck about trannies, but Rowling spends the majority of time on twitter seething about them. She must have made thousands of posts about trannies by now, it's bizarre. Also, it's not even based because it all just comes from her being a raging feminist and man-hater.
>>222313517Hogwarts Legacy says there's a school in Africa, which is the biggest wizarding school in the world. I would assume all of Africa and the Med would be in there. My question is, what's going on with the American school, and why are there so many active spelllinger incidents.
>>222318395>they used to shit on the floor and magic it awayhas to be the greatest social media post ever
>>222318722if that's the case then yeah it's pathetic, and true as based as she might seem for not bending the knee to those creeps one has to remember that she only does it because she's a massive TERFWhy do so many stupidly rich people spend so much time on twitter anyway?
>>222318722>there's no reason>okay there's an obvious reason but it isn't based>I don't care about trannies btw but I will randomly interject them into this topic FOR NO REASON and then complain at length about how stupid it is to not like them
Yes
