8 Of The Magical Schools Explained + What Are The Remaining 3 Schools? 

I have to disagree that there aren’t uniforms at hogwarts. The book states that they need black robes and a black hat. Also, the uniforms have some indicators to show which house the students belong to as it’s referred to several times in the books.

It would be nice if J.K. Rowling would expound on the wizarding school in Greece because of Andros the Invincible. His patronous was a giant and it would be nice to get a series based on wizards from ancient civilizations. Greece, India and the Bermuda Triangle would be excellent choices for school locations. Antartica would also be a good choice for a school. There are legends about giants living in the continent whih would prove to be an oportunity for exposition on a giant society. I think that Andros the Invincible was at least a half giant, which would make him inmune to most curses. A new series exploring halflings would be something I'd like to see. I wonder if Voldemort acquired his ability to fly without a broom from drinking blood from a veela.

I think that one of the remaining ones has to be somewhere in the Middle East. The Weasleys went on a trip to Egypt, that means there is a thriving wizarding community there. It's probably either in Egypt or in the Fertile Crescent. They might not have one of the most oldest schools there but they certainly would have one of the oldest communities.

I always thought that the tree remaining school would be 1) in the himalaya so chinese and indian wizards could attend (a sort of great bouddisth like temple where the students would learn to master magic via martial art ^^), 2) somewhere in the pacific ocean (on a big turtle back like in avatar ^^), and the school would travel from one island to another. And 3) somwhere in the middle east, maybe in the ruins of Babylone, or hidden in an oasis in the desert. That's my pick for the three other school ^^

There is only one for the whole of Africa... only two for all of Asia... None in India or China who have been the most populated places on Earth since milleniums.. My guess is that the three other schools are all in Asia (Iran, Nepal, maybe also China). I am pretty sure there are more schools than 11 in the world, although many are certainly quite small. Also there certainly are wizarding populations that stay isolated from the rest of the world and probably have their own schools. I can imagine that in India many wizards are actually in the upper castes and taught magic as priests. I can also imagine that there are few wizards left in China because of the CCP and persecution against landlords, nobles and rich people in general, and Chinese wizarding families must have been noble or at least quite rich.

I think it’s kind of weird that there isn’t a school in every country that speaks a different language. How can you expect a 11 yer old to be fluent in whatever language the school happens to choose ?

I think that the 3 remaining schools would be: -One in the Himalayas, thus encompassing India and China, so would probably have to be the biggest school -One in the Middle East. Perhaps either deep in the desert, or maybe the ruins of Petra? -One, like you said, around Australia/Oceania. Heavily influenced with Polynesian culture. A lot of water-related magic is to be expected there.

Genuinely surprised that A) Africa has only one school because it's three times the size of Europe, and B) there's not one in India

Wagadou is the oldest Wizarding school Jk Rowling said it herself on pottermore

Possibly an underwater school🤷🏾‍♂️i mean hiding these schools is crucial So a Wizarding school hidden deep under water wouldn't be a Bad idea

I would attend to HOGWARTS, ILVERMORNY, DURMSTRANG & MAHOUTOKORO. These schools I believe would be a fascinating place to learn more.

I'm from NYC so ilvermorny would be my school and I was sorted into thunderbird house. In hogwarts I am apart of Ravenclaw. Now being African American I believe I could've been eligible to go to wagadou as well . My dream rock said faith

There is a website with some fanmade schools but they all sound interesting. One in China dates back to 1600 BC and another in Egypt but the people speak Greek has the REAL Library of Alexandria that was saved and a fake was burned.

He mentioned that the Russian students with the uprooted tree doesn’t sound safe. I agree. It also sounds very uncomfortable because it wouldn’t have a 100% flat surface.

One thing about Mahoutokoro…they start accepting children at 7, but they don’t start to live at the school until they are 11. 7-10 year olds go back home after half-day lessons, and don’t receive their pink robes until boarding. Also, Ilvermorny students’ resident houses would be called dorms here in the United States, like at private schools and universities. With the laws MACUSA has about magical people having little to no interaction with the No Maj’s, we probably would have towns and cities in our country for wizards and witches. Salem and New Orleans would be givens, but other cities could be Taos, New Mexico; Olympia, Washington; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Charleston, South Carolina, just to name a few. These places have their own legendary auras here, and would be perfect for magical populations.

You should do a more detailed video on each school (that has extensive information) I think that would be really cool!

One thing is - if Castelobruxo is 1000 years old- why does it have a Portuguese name? The Portuguese weren't in South America at that time. It's also interesting what happened there once the demographic changes due to colonization kicked in. At which point they decided to accept people of European and African descent and how they dealt with cultural differences and a sudden influx of new peoples. Or maybe the magical community in South America is still predominantly of Native American descent as the wizarding community didn't have the same patterns of migration as muggles and muggle borns are few and far between? It's really complicated when you start thinking about it.

I think there's definitely a school in Spain or another Spanish speaking country. Also imagine an official anime about the Japanese wizarding school...

If I’m not wrong, Students from Portugal, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands are admitted with French students in Beauxbâtons. And, in fact, there is an Australian School of Witchcraft and Wizardry according to JK Rowling.

keep this AMAZING work up Dean!!!😁

I’ve missed your videos now I finally have a way to relax watching your awesome Harry Potter content.

Fantastic job! Love this vid as well as all your vids!!!

I enjoyed this. Great job!

Super duper interesting video!!! Thank you so much! I wish Jo would reveal the final three schools, so we could have a sense of them. Well hopefully she will some day!

Thank you! I really enjoyed this.

Alas, I guess I did not know all of the Wizarding schools, very informative ,awesome vid🔥

The Brazilian school was where Joanne stretched herself given that South Americans don’t learn each other’s languages and the countries have huge animosity towards each other, it’s odd that there’s only two schools in the americas despite the vast cultures that live in the Americas.

Kinda unfair how there's only one in Asia. I'm from the Philippines and a bit salty we don't have one 🥴

Awesome video..thank you

I would add one for India or southern Asian countries, one in the middle of the pacific Ocean for Australia and all of the islands on the pacific and one in Greece or western southern Europe and Eurasia, Spain and Italy already have Beauxbatons

I would disagree with a school being in China. I think that there would be one in the Caribbean though. Santeria is practiced in the Caribbean, even though now it has a bit of Roman Catholic hints to it. But I just like the thought of a Wizarding school in a place like Trinidad, Saint Thomas, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Barbados, ECT.

Great video Thank you

I love the logo for Beauxbatons in this video it's really beautiful.

My top 3 magical schools would be in - India - Yemen - Mexico/Peru

Thank you for sharing this amazing

My top places for the 3 remaining schools would be : Australia - covering Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Egypt- covering north Africa and the middle east India - covering for central and south Asia Also you could play around with the idea regarding extinct schools in Crete (Minoans, Greece), Angkor Wat (Khmer, Cambodia) and Tula (Toltec empire, Mexico)

My best guess the three last schools are: 1. Somewhere in southeast Asia, a remote island or a school beneath the ocean are ideal places 2. Somewhere in the Himalayan mountains for indian, Nepal, and Chinese students. 3. Somewhere in Egypt and hidden in the desert, this place is for African and middle Eastern students.

The missing 3 should be north Africa, Middle -east/India, China/tibet

that was a very intresting viedeo loved it

I'd prefer if a new magical school was being built deep in the Bavarian Alps with the help of those from Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Ilvermorny. I would call this school Waltzburg College of Fine Magic. Waltzburg (like Hogwarts) would be accepting of all magical beings regardless of their blood status and would teach Defense Against the Dark Arts (and NOT the Dark Arts). Waltzburg would accept magical students from Central Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland). The coat of arms of Waltzburg would be a black eagle. The architecture of Waltzburg would be similar to that of Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. How big would Waltzburg be, let's just say it would be large enough to house the entire wizarding population of Central Europe between the ages of 11 and 18.

What if Lucius Malfoy had been sent to Azkaban after the first Wizarding War? (As he should have his excuse made no freaking sense)

I don't think there is any wizarding school in the Mediterranean, I would say that there is one in the middle East, I doubted this because of how it Is the center of a major religion but Many other countries with major religions have wizarding schools too. The middle East doesn't have one though so that is a possibility, there could also be one in south-east Asia.

Whoosh! Helga's one Hot Witch! Ok, so question. Where did "magical" folk learn the "old magic"? Do you have a video about the "old magic"? Neat vid! \m/

It's good to leave some of it up to Mystery!

Beauxbatons already accepts students from Spain and Portugal, my guess for the last school would be somewhere in the middle east

I like to imagine that of the three we don't know, one of them is in Nepal (the cultures from the surrounding countries all have some cool potential for magic inspiration), one of them is in New Zealand (we've already seen how well it suits a fantasy setting in Lord of the Rings), and one of them is somewhere in the Caribbean (Haitian Voodoo could give some interesting magical inspiration too).

QUETION: for the triwizard tournament, are the games ever held somewhere else besides Hogwarts and if so do all of the students from Hogwarts travel to attend? Do they take their classes at those schools as well? How did it all work

I can see India and China as their cultures are deeply rooted in the mystical and they have the populations to support a magical school system. But someone suggested once...the three schools might be more like universities dividing the planet in thirds for advanced magic students from the other 8 schools. I like that idea. Makes sense they might have something like that.

My head cannon is that there is a school between Australia & New Zealand, hidden in the great barrier reef. Taking students from all of Oceania.

Nice job...

Vừa vào đã nổi cả da gà 藍giọng a Phúc hayyy quá, mong sẽ tiếp tục cover ạ ❤️

The lore of the Potterverse when you try and apply it to real history falls apart very, very quickly, especially when applied to the wider world like this. One school per county makes sense for a small and largely homogenous nation like Scotland/Britain where everyone shares the same language and customs, but you couldn’t have had one school in France before the Revolution because there wasn’t one share language, and that’s just in Europe. The further out we go, the sillier and sillier it is that there is only one school for vast, VAST swathes of land that have no shared language or culture. This is one of the aspects where I think Rowling did a disservice to herself in being so specific about how many magical institutions there are. If anything, I would have made Britain be the aberration for only having one. Like Hogwarts was the only one Voldemort didn’t destroy in the last war or something, whatever. Because as it is, the lack of schools available to even the post-agricultural revolution parts of the world is just mind bogglingly silly.

Imagine in the future, we get an Anime based around Mahoutokoro or something lol. Now that I think of it, that's actually a good idea...

I have a question - in Fantastic Beasts the magical characters seem to match clothing and fit in with “norms of the time”. However in HP - decades later, clothing looks mid evil inspired with robed and capes…do we know why there’s such a change?

A good explanation from you 😀. No school for me then I'm Swedish 🙈😅

I’m a proud Ilvermorny student. In fact my profile pic is an Ilvermorny uniform I made!

There’s a great chance that there is a magical school that covers south east Asia, considering the language similarity across austronesia and cultural similarities. And with trade routes having gone through Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia by the Europeans, there’s more than enough chance that a school could have been established in any of those locations. Heck, even Ancient Bali, Java and Cambodia would have been ideal locations for schools. And it should come as no surprise that there would be an academy for magic established in India and the Middle East. Those were established locations and fonts of knowledge and learning, a magical academy is within the realm of possibility. Arithmency and Astronomy would have been one of the biggest studies for them. When you consider how vast the world is, 11 schools is not enough. Maybe these are named schools with a storied past, but there would definitely have existed more than 11. And I would just like to reiterate that Asia is not just East Asia, South East Asia exists and our history is storied, with the Majapahit Empire and the Malayan Sultanate as an example.

one should definitely be in the Balkans, as it could receive students from all Slavic countries because the language is very simmilar I always had this question rolling in my head, on which language are Durmstrang students teached? Viktor Krum is Bulgarian and I doubt that he speaks any of Scandinavian languages

Great video! I'd think there would be a school in the Middle-East/India???

I still can't wait to get over your last video about them using literal trees to fly I still can't get over it it makes sense though that they were used trees to practice cuz they made of wood like broomsticks but still part of me can't imagine single person by the tree and not laugh about it.

I have an opinion on where the final 3 magical schools could be located : Tibet, in the Himalayan mountains. The last two are hidden from view in the Southern Pacific and in the skies above Antarctica.

Mic audio only coming out in right channel Switch mic to mono Great vid

6:30 given that real Japanese baseball training is also very serious (high school championships are broadcast nationally) I wouldn’t put it past them

Could you do a video on wizard law concerning muggle association with wizards?

If I were in Hogwarts I’d be Ravenclaw. If I were in Ilvermorny, I keep getting either Pukwudgie or Thunderbird. But the test at IDR Labs says I’m a Horned Serpent.

American jumping in to add: Ilvermorny is located on top of the highest peak of Mt Greylock in Massachusetts.

As a Brazilian, I was so disappointed the new FB movie didn’t take place in Brazil like I thought it would 😭

Bad enough castelobruxo is just... Bad Portuguese, but calling it castella brew-shoe just makes it funnier x'D

I've always been curious, would Scandinavian students go to Durmstrang or Hogwarts?

There 4 more schools not mentioned from 11 schools, I hope the other schools located in the oasis of Egypt, Himalayan mountains in India, the first capital of China in Xi'an, and the other is located in remote Tropical island of South East Asia (around the border of Philippines and Indonesia) Those places are the cradles of early human civilization spanning history of more than 5000 years. The Egypt school has Anubis and Djin as their Guardian, the Indian school has Yeti, the Chinese school has Dragon, and the Indonesia/Philippines school has sea monsters as their guardians.

.....hear me out..... Japanese school, but make it anime. I think that would be so so awesome and have room for plenty of episodes if needed.

Love the robe's for Japan ❤❤

I think that one school is in India, one in China and the last one is in Australia

I'm fairly sad that Erehnoll is not known.

Even though having magic is suppose to be very rare it seems like there should be a lot more schools for magic than 11 in the entire world

For me, I would think The 3 Unknown Wizarding Schools located in: -India -Somwhere in Siberia -Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean I do like your predicition for the schools I believe that: - China (There is already a Wizarding school in Japan so they wouldn’t need a School) -Austrailia (It should be somewhere in better in the Pacific) -Spain (Cause Beauxbatons is already a good school for them)

They do have uniforms because there robe is like a tunic from book description also they have a pointed hat

Surely there must be schools in China, India, and Australia! The Japanese school can't be the ONLY one in the Far East.

A Eurasian Steppe Wizarding School extending from Hungary to China. The Middle East would be another good candidate for a Wizarding School somewhere in the area of modern-day Mesopotamia (Iraq, Kuwait, Turkey and Syria) Lastly a Himalayan Wizarding School would be a good proposition for the nations of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Bhutan and Nepal Bonus Wizarding School A underwater Wizarding school would be very good as well like Atlantis School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

There should be one school for latinamericans, since only brazilians speak portuguese. I could see it being located in The Andes. Everyone from spanish speaking countries would go there

Sad there’s not one in Australia since I live here

What color are the uniforms of the students in the Uagadou wizarding school? I saw a music video on youtube about Uagadou, House of Arts and it looked like the uniforms are white. With the headmaster wearing black with gold trim. They have mixed races going to it. They mixed in a scene from the black panther movie mixed in the video. But I liked it. I wish J.K. would do a book about Uagadou got started.

Interesting

As an Australian I would love to know what the Aussie school 🏫 would be maybe, palya Norhern Territory aboriginal wors for Hello

The Australian Robes Would be Green and Gold 9:57

There should be a school for every country , English speaking ,Spanish speaking , middle east, and ya know

Can you post a link to the video about Salazar Slytherin founding Durmstrang?

I'm from Illinois in America so Ilvermorny would be my school and I'm a Pukwudgie. But in Hogwarts I'm a ravenclaw. My wand has a shell in it and is hornbeam wood.

There r so much schools and yet only 3 compete in the triwizard tournament

There are probably more schools but they are secret about it. One in the Pyranese Mts, One or 2 in the Middle east. One in Tibet, One in Peru, One in Asia.

About your three guesses at the beginning: there should absolutely be a school in India, rather than yet ANOTHER in Europe.

I take it this means no more alternative videos? I was hoping for other lore.

Id imagine that the other 3 schools are in Australia, the middle east somewhere (possibly Jerusalem, established during either the crusades or the spanish inquisiton but thats just an educated guess), and the final one being either in either india, Bhutan, or romania. Im disagreeing with your placement of china for mainly one reason: China has had a long history of conformity and i dont think that the wizarding world would really have a huge presence there, at least one large enough to operate a school that is. I can beleive that theyd have some sort of magical government, but theyd have strict rules regarding conformity to muggle dress when out in public, unless within wizarding communities. Bhutan was namedropped in SOD as a place that was home to really old magic so itd make sense that a magical school would be placed there and given its location within the himilayas, its already hard to access by muggles anyway. So many people have died trying to climb the Himalayas that i cant imagine many charms would exist upon it beyond the odd invisibility spell. Then theres india, a place so rich with history especially in regards to religion and the hindu people there worship so many gods and goddesses that its hard to beleive that, in the wizarding world at least, some of the stories arent true. Then theres the fact that Buddhism actually came out of india, is it so hard to believe that he was a wizard, or possibly even a squib, that just wanted to better the muggle race? And then finally we have Romania. A place known for its dragons, and the people who study them. Need i say more??? Edit: i realized i never justified my reasonings for my placement of the other two schools and just focused on the last one sooo... The Australian School of Magic (ASM) was most likely founded by a british explorer who was working for the british ministry of magic and, finding that there was already a thriving magical community there, in the form of the aboriginal tribes, sought to learn all he could and combine his knowledge with theirs and establish the ASM. The school in the middle east is likely the most ancient out of all 11 schools. Possibly even being the temple of solomon itself, enrolling students from all over the world but only if they can prove worthy enough. Likely specializing in the study of spiritual beings. It has also probably been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times throughout its history.

1:58 I think I know why there were uniforms in the movie and not in the book it's because J.K. Rowling is British right? Well in the UK it's normal to have uniforms that's why she didn't say it because it was normal for her.

I'm guessing two of the others are Leelapun School of Magic in Thailand and Invidor (I think that's what it's called) School in India.

Well JK did say Australia has a school just never said it’s name or anything about it

There should be books about the Japanese School.

I know this isn't related, but a sudden thought I had, Voldemort, being halfblood, started a war to establish pureblood status as the only status, seeming he was going to die after his success, which is pointless in a way to his ambition

I'd love if one of the eleven schools was in Romania, since I'm from Romania

What a coinsedence, Harry potter theory did this eksakt same counsept a few Weeks ago.
