In simple terms, Ilvermorny is basically the American version of Hogwarts. One of the best looking schools as well with a magnificent castle situated on the mountains and surrounded by the “Forbidden Forest” which is home to some of the most dangerous and freighting creatures in the Wizarding World. Hogwarts has a long history behind it as it once was home to Tom Riddle or as we know him today Lord Voldemort and was the location of the second wizarding war in which the dark Lord himself attacked the school and its grounds. Located in the highlands in Scotland and founded in the 10th century the school educates young witches and wizards from all across the UK including Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Arguably one of the most iconic and famous wizarding schools out of the eleven which also has its past.

As well as that their previous headmaster Igor Karkaroff (former death eater) went into hiding after Lord Voldemort’s return during the triwizard tournaments which they competed in alongside Beauxbatons and Hogwarts.ĭo we really need to explain what Hogwarts is? Surely all of us have heard of this famous school. Additionally, the school has its past with the dark arts as notorious dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald once came here. The Institute does accept international students however though they mainly take in students from across northern and eastern Europe. Upon arrival to Drumstrang, visitors must undergo memory charms so they have no recollection of the whereabouts of the school or that they were even there in the first place. Their school is considered to be far north of Europe and rumoured to be in either Norway or Sweden but because of their secretive nature no one fully knows where it is. Founded in the 1920s, Drumstrang Institute is possibly has one of the darkest histories of all the wizarding schools across the world.

Founded in the 10th-11th century, the Castelobruxo school situates itself in the middle of the Amazon rainforest and takes in students from all across South America. The school’s most notable student to have ever been produced there is one of the world’s renown alchemists, Nicolas Flamel, who eventually became one of the creators of the philosophers stone.Ĭastelobruxo is a school which doesn’t get mentioned alot in the Wizarding World but certainly as its unique aspects just like every other one. The Beauxbatons school headmaster is of course the giantess Madame Maxine who took a liking to Hagrid whilst at Hogwarts for the trizawizard tournament.

As we all know, their main school rivalry is with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they competed against them in the trizward tournament just before Lord Voldemort’s return. This exquisite school was founded in the pre 1920s and mainly takes in European students from countries such as France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium.
