The comment section here proved once more that Fantastic Beasts should've been an actual series about Newt travelling to different countries, seeing their magic and cultures and finding fantastic beasts in between. So many people are interested to see more countries and their magic systems/schools/mythology etc!

In Poland we have a Harry Potter themed summer camp for children from 9 to 18 years old. They are being taken to famous polish castles (like Czocha) sorted to houses (different than in the books) and taught things like potions, spells and all of the other stuff, all while wearing robes. The funniest thing is the tourists passing by and being very confused (those muggles… so unaware) Edit: Wow I didn't expect my comment to blow up so much, glad you enjoyed it! In fact I'm going there as a "professor" this summer. It's called Quatromondis if you're curious and wanna google it (there's Quatronum too, it was part of mondis in the past but they split to two :( )

They never actually acknowledge the language barrier, do they? Because making Brazil the only South American country with a Wizarding school means that most South Americans would struggle attending classes in Portuguese rather than in Spanish. It's probably worst for the Japanese and African schools which are meant to be the only schools of Asia and Africa respectively and which continents have a huge variety of languages. So, I guess magic universal translators have a to be a thing.

I find it hard to picture a brazilian school where the students wear robes in the middle of the amazon forest, a really hot and humid place. Besides that, it be interesting to see how the structure would look like

I’d definitely attend Uagadou…I mean just imagine how convenient learning wandless magic would be? as opposed to wands that can break like Ron’s did. Or how they can turn on its owner…like nah im just gonna use my hands lol edit: I cannot believe people are still replying to this comment

The North American school on top of Mt Greylock - I grew up with a view of that mountain out of my bedroom windows. Always misty or snow covered or cloud covered. Very serene yet mysterious at the same time. Wish I had been invited to attend the school but I guess that wasn't meant to be.

2:28 Castelobruxo 4:02 Koldovstoretz 5:24 Durmstrang 6:58 Ilvermorny 9:12 Beauxbatons 10:35 Mahoutokoro 12:42 Uagadou 14:26 Hogwarts 16:30 non-named schools

With the success of Hogwarts Legacy, perhaps we can get a series of games with stories set in the other schools.

The Japanese school sounds interesting. Especially the robes growing and changing color.

China and India both definitely need their own schools, just given the populations there. And I can imagine a lot of places having their own schools that are just not officially recognized because they don't have a balanced education or particularly high grades for their students.

As an American Potterhead, I would love to see more information on Ilvermorny. Honestly anything on it. A new book series, Movies that focus solely on it, even a Video Game would be amazing.

Honestly reading through the comments I find the biggest issue with all the other schools is that they were invented by one writer with her limited experience as a British woman and ultimately can't go into specifics on the other schools without them being inaccurate to the realities of the region for instance multiple languages for certain regions. Another issue is as one person she can only write so much so having at least a small writing team focusing on side content based around developing a canon of other smaller schools and expanding upon the magical world at large would probably be pretty cool (kinda like the Star Wars expanded universe/ Star Wars Legends series). Ya never know though things could potentially get better in terms of expanded lore with stuff like the video game Hogwarts Legacy coming since I can only imagine more writers (that are less controversial) are being given permission to expand on official canon. One thing in particular I'd like to see (as an American) would be a potential redesign of Ilvermorny to look more like an actual early American building rather than a castle cause a castle can only ever look like something from another country because America just doesn't have castles we have some gorgeous old buildings but no castles they could even take inspiration from some of the oldest schools in the country like Harvard, Penn, Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton, Columbia, etc imo that would be frickin awesome. Another thing I'd find cool would be if another school were added in America with how absolutely giant the country is and there could be a Canadian specific school that's like a sister school to Beauxbatons since there's a pretty large amount of French speakers in Canada in fact kinda surprised Canada hasn't already had a school made considering they share a monarchy with the UK. Another cool thing that could be explored in general would be sister schools that share a common language so witches and wizards could travel and visit somewhere similar but different. I dunno I just have a lot of thoughts on the subject.

Pottermore need to give us images of the schools architecture cause now I’m so curious of how the schools really look ! We need more of these

Nobody: Japanese Hermione showing off her gold robes: I DID TERRIBLE, I GOT A 99.9% 😭

In Brazil we have the opportunity to experience the wizarding world, but in a different way. Since the organisers don’t have Warner’s license to use the name, they have to change it a bit. But you can still go to a castle in São Paulo, experiences classes, share a room with your colleagues and have your own wand. It’s simply amazing. It’s called EMB (Escola de Magia e Bruxaria).

There is definitely an Indian wizarding school in Himalayan mountains... Comment the characteristics of this school... I think we specialise in herbology and portions (as ayurvedic medicine is prevalent in India)...

Ilvermorny is such a wholesome story, sad but really wholesome. If anyone hasn’t seen it, I highly recommend it.

I would go to any school of magic that would send an invitation. They all sound amazing.

The fact that Castelobruxo was founded before the colony makes me think the type of magic being taught there would mix with indigenous and chamanic knowledge, radically differing from European magic, such as what is described in Uagadou. Definitely would go there.
