When I was a kid, growing up in the huge BOOM of Harry Potter movies and books, pretty much everyone loved it so much because of the magical essence of the series. Here you have an entire world based in our own, but yet so expansive and surreal. The magical realism casts stars in our eyes that blind us to how little JK Rowling actually thought about anything.
Here is a map of every magical school in the world.
Yes, you're seeing that correctly. That's ONE school per CONTINENT, except Europe, which has THREE, and Australia, which apparently doesn't have one, and only Japanese students can go to the one in Japan, so fück everybody else in Asia, I guess.
Here are the ranges for each school, aka which countries they accept students from:
Hogwarts (Scotland): Scotland, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Wales
Beauxbatons (France): France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Belgium
Castelobruxo (Brazil): All over South America
Durmstrang (Scandinavia): Willing to accept international students, but presumably mainly Northern and Eastern Europe
Ilvermorny (US): All over North America
Mahoutokoro (Japan): Japan
Uagadou (Uganda): All over Africa
This alone shows that JK Rowling doesn't have a clue about how anything works outside of her little bubble. Europe, the second smallest continent, has THREE schools, while everyone in Asia, the largest continent, is screwed over except if they live in Japan? Also, how does the schooling work if you accept people from multiple countries who all speak different languages? DOES SHE REALIZE THAT NOT EVERYBODY IN SOUTH AMERICA SPEAKS THE SAME LANGUAGE?? OR AFRICA??? THERE ARE 2,000 LANGUAGES IN AFRICA.
