The map above shows the locations of the 7 Wizarding schools that have been revealed so far, that exist in the Harry Potter universe.
The map comes from the official Pottermore.com website, which also claims that there are: “eleven long-established and prestigious wizarding schools worldwide.” This of course means the location of the remaining 4 3 is anyone’s guess! (Koldovstoretz in Russia one of the 4 missing schools)
The 7 8 schools are:
- Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Scotland)
- Beauxbatons Academy of Magic (France)
- Castelobruxo (Central Brazil)
- Durmstrang Institute (Northern Europe)
- Ilvermorny (Eastern North America)
- Mahoutokoro School of Magic (Japan)
- Uagadou School of Magic (Uganda)
- Koldovstoretz (Russia) – Not on the map

Kumhan says
Huh, didn’t know about most of these, awesome find!
Callum says
Anyone know where you can buy this??
Lucy says
i want to know where the Australian wizarding school is?
Anonymous says
If there isn’t one then rip the owl that has to give us the letter. But we are not entirely unlucky. I’m a kiwi and there is a dragon native to NZ that often migrates to Australia.
UltraViolet says
There isn’t one so far, but the closest one to Australia is mahutokoro.
Jeremy says
Why is there no magic school in Australia? I need to know how to defend myself against the dark arts called spiders.
it's raining somewhere else says
HAH
MOOD
Vaman Suri (vams) says
Is there any wizarding school in India or Asia
Juk says
Sambala Hymalaya
vyshnavi says
I have the same question
Agent Anonymous says
There is one in Japan
Safwan says
There’s a school in America it they talk about it in fantastic Beasts
Charlie says
Because it hasn’t been revealed yet.
DragonHunterxx231 says
The American one is Ilvermorny
smartalic says
in australia
Paige says
possibly either somewhere in the Northern Territory where Indigenous culture and old practices are still thriving, or central Australia, where muggles are less likely to find them.
Adam says
There’s a great episode of Melbourne based podcast “Plumbing the Death Star” where they design an Australian magic school.
Their version is in the middle of the outback, with class buildings separated by open ground, and to match the danger and whimsy of Hogwarts, there’s wild animals (magical and mundane) all over the campus.
M says
I say China, Middle East and Australia the missing 3 schools
Maisie says
So do I
The Middle East doesn’t need magic, though
It’s cool enough
Jess says
There’s a lot of forest and mountainous regions in Tasmania and the climate is similar to the UK. I’d hate it if the magic school was in like Melbourne, Sydney or the desert or something
Marcus Loidolt says
I imagine the Australian school being far out in the bush, specializing in Aboriginal shaman magic as well as some universal magic from the immigrants…
Elizabeth S says
The Australian school is actually called Boganmagico! She released this information in a recent tweet. Maybe, Australia will be the setting of Fantastic Beasts 3 and this is her very JK way of telling us.
malfoy says
YAY
Letitia says
I’ve heard it’s Boganmagico. I checked JK’s twitter she confirmed it, and people are ALL over it.
Memo says
Or even if there is one. I hope there is. Me and my friend created one called gumsheild academy because of the gum trees here in aus
Sachin says
I want a admission in this school
Kirsteen Sepple says
Thats what ive been trying to find
Alicia says
As part of the commonwealth I’d assume AU would go to Hogwarts? Sorry y’all were never featured but neither were any Italians, Greeks, Slovenians, etc.
Dorothy Malfoy says
ya me too!
Jasmine says
Me too
Kayla says
Same bro
Adeseus Goodwill says
There are 11 official schools in total, and we know about 7 of those so that leaves 4 more to be discovered. I’m pretty sure there’s one in Australia for both Kiwis and Aussies…;)
Pichu says
What about The Salem Witchs’ Institute?
Goblet of Fire – Chapter 7 – Bagman and Crouch
Geo says
That’s a women’s organisation, not a school.
Tim! says
From the Pottermore link:
“Smaller and less well-regulated institutions have come and gone, are difficult to keep track of, and are rarely registered with the appropriate Ministry (in which case, I cannot vouch for the standard of education they might offer).”
Aminah says
I didn’t know there was a house in Japan😱😱😱mind blown!!!!
Jay says
A school?
Not a house because houses are groups kind of.
Kristen says
The Salem Witches Institute isn’t one of the eleven wizarding schools
Its members are described as:
“a group of middle-aged American witches [sitting] gossipping happily beneath a star-spangled banner stretched between their tents”
So, they are clearly not students.
Catalina says
And also, in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, isn’t there something called Salem something? Like with that woman that died because of the Obscuro.
Das1025 says
if you speak Spanish, what? do you know how many people speak Spanish in the whole world?
Hermiet says
If in South america, CasteloBruxo, If in North America, Ilvermony, If In Spain, Beauxbatons
Auguste says
Lol can’t believe there is no magic school in China come on Rowling
steveo says
Probably banned by muggles as china isnt a big fan on supersitition.
Orie says
My guess is that China has a school and so would Australia, and possibly one in India or the Middle East.
Cheyenne Miller says
If there are 11 schools what are the other 3 and where are they located ??
Ava says
One is definitely in indi
Draco says
I heard there’s two in Africa one in Uganda and the other is in Egypt I have not heard of any in India otherwise the Patil Twins would have went there instead of Hogwarts.
sarah says
The Patil Twins could be part of an immigrant family
Catalina says
hahaha that’s so funny although there’s something called immigration
Shruti says
Patil Sisters were british with indian ancestry. I dont think hogwarts would send off a letter to the natives of different country.
Adeseus Goodwill says
Admissions to Hogwarts are strictly limited to the UK.
Theodore says
If there is a school in America then how come I haven’t been accepted yet?
Anonymous Wizard says
Okay, No-Maj.
Anonymous Witch says
What he means is, you’re an American Muggle, called a No-Maj.
Jay says
Lol if there’s one in Britain how come I haven’t got 1,000 owls outside my place???!
Courtney says
I hope there would be main schools in Asia that we can attend to. Like in the Middle-East or East Asia, but that would be too difficult because of the languages. There should be some sort of magical language that only witches and wizards can understand, so that we would be united in a certain region as a whole and be able to understand each other.
Mr. Godric says
I think there’s a spell for multi-language understanding.
Orie says
My guess is that out of the 3 that haven’t been revealed that one in in Australia, and one must be in the Middle East. The last one I haven’t even a guess about where it would be, it isn’t Africa since the school there takes students from the whole continent and is the school with the highest population. Anyone agree on my guesses about the 2 possible locations of the 3 yet to be revealed? And their guess on where the 3rd could be? China or India would be my best guesses but I’d think the Middle East school would take students from India, unless because of the population in India they have so many young witches and wizards they need their own school, same goes for China.
Zak says
I’m thinking most likely the three remaining schools are located in
Australia or New Zealand
China or South East Asia
The Third one I’m assuming is in the Middle East.
Sarah says
I’d like to believe there are more in North or South America, considering we only have 2 located so far
Catalina says
It would be cool if there was one in Canada
Paige says
Call me crazy, but I think there may be a school or coven of exiled witches and wizards from around the world who have created their own ways and traditions in one of the most isolated regions in the world: Somewhere like Antarctica, the Sahara or maybe even in an elaborate system of tunnels or caves. As for the three other missing schools, I’m placing my bets on Australia, United Arab Emirates and Southern India. Somewhere further away from the other, more mainstream wizarding schools. Each school will have unique traditions based on the region (Australia = Indigenous culture/dreamtime themes, etc.)
Mr. Godric says
That “coven,” is called the Order of the Phoenix.
Nikki says
Here are my thoughts on the missing wizarding schools:
1)
I think there really has to be a Spanish speaking wizarding school. Brazil is an odd choice for a wizarding school for me since they are one of the very few countries in central and south america that don’t speak Spanish. But since the school in Brazil is confirmed, I strongly believe that there would be one more wizarding school somewhere in Latin America for the immense Spanish speaking population of the world.
2)
Furthermore I completely agree with the broadly stated opinion that there has to be one in the Middle East for the large Arab population.
Also I believe students from countries in Northern Africa would rather go to the Middle Eastern school than to the African school since the Arab culture is closer to them. Some may even go to Beaubatons considering that french is a common language in the maghreb countries due to colonial history.
3)
The last wizarding school in my opinion would have to be in India or China. Maybe somewhere in the Himalayas since that would probably be a good hidden location but nice and centrally in Asia. I think this is highly logical since they have such huge populations and therefore would certainly need a wizarding school.
I know this will be unpopular but logically thinking there should not be a school in Australia (or NZ). (If there were 12 schools then I would say there is one, but with just 11 all other locations seem way more important) There are already 2 English speaking schools in the world where kids from Australia and NZ could be sent if their parents don’t mind the distance. Otherwise they would go to one of the Asian schools. It would depend wether similar culture/language or closer distance is more important to you.
Certainly all schools would have developed their own transportation system for students, probably much more elaborate than the Hogwarts express. (Maybe some massive flying carpets could be involved since they are known to exist in the HP universe and have just been forbidden in Britain.) Also given the transportation the Beaubatons and Durmstrangs use, complex and unknown transportation seems highly likely to me. It don’t think it is a problem that we don’t hear about them since schools are known for keeping their secrets well hidden.
In conclusion:
These are the locations of the three unknown wizarding schools in my opinion:
– Latin America: for the Spanish speakers
– Middle East
– India/China/Himalayas
Hogwartsallthewayhey! says
I agree that there should be a school where the main language is Spanish, but where would it be? In Mexico? But the mountains are pretty well populated (see; Mexico City) as much as I love this idea I don’t really know how this would work out. One of the three schools left has also already been confirmed to be in Australia. So my ideas for the next two schools would probably be in the Himalayas ( what? It makes sense!!!) and the Middle East because there’s probably enough magic students and a big enough area (it’s like the desert people!) so yeah and with the Himalayas you get students from China and India and the mountains so those would definitely be my choices for the two remaining magic schools (even though I was debating this a lot! I really want a Latin magic school to come up!)(Please!!!🙏🏻)
Jasmine says
If you go off your logic then everyone could just go to one school because of the language spell. Doesn’t matter if there is already 2 English schools! There should be one in Australia. With your logic people in the Bahamas (searched it. They speak English) would also go to Hogwarts or the American school. I’m going to say you’re situated in America. (for convenience) what if America didn’t have a wizarding school and Australia did. By your logic you would be fine travelling all the way to Australia just to go to school. You wouldn’t be able to see your family at breaks because it would be pretty expensive. Imagine having to do that every holiday. Then imagine how expensive sending things would be. You would have to use long distance owls and they are VERY expensive. So now, you can’t see them at holidays, and you can’t send or receive packages even semi often. Do you still think that Australian wizards should just travel to America or Britain? Do you still think it’s just a matter of if your parents are fine with the distance? Also what if they’re not ok with it? Then all the wizards and witch’s in Australia are just not going to be taught?
Frank says
Zuckhaboo an Aussie school for medicinal potions location probably on eastern of Australia
Alexis says
I reckon that the last three schools are in Australia, India and either at the top of Russia of Canada.
The Australian one would either be smack bang in the desert where no muggles live or right in the centre of a giant rain-forest. And they would specialise in poisons, close up combat not just their magic and aboriginal cultures (remedies, rituals etc.)
India’s school would be on top of a large mountain and their school would be/look like a Hindu temple. They would specialise in mental/emotional magic (magic that can differ moods, manipulate etc) and defence against the dark (magic and evils in general)
Canadas insitute would teach camouflage and trickery.( how to secretly do something, how to find stuff out easily, how to pretend to be someone you are not etc). Russias school would tech extreme spells, overpowered techniques/ perfecting techniques and multiple shelter/defence/self helping spells.
just ideas tho. It would be cool if J.K released what the last real schools are.
aritra says
It’s bad information that the Indians, Chinese and Arabs have no schools despite the numbers.
We Indians would learn battle magic to fend off the shape-shifting demons found in our epics.
Sahasra says
Yeah, there definitely should be an Indian magic school.
*Mayavandana Vidyalaya*
It’ll probably be somewhere in the Himalayas so Muggles can’t find it – but it also probably has anti-Muggle protection like Hogwarts, so it might not matter where it is. And the Muggles’ internet, radio connection, etc. won’t work around it… Southern or Central India is the best place for these, also because India is highly superstitious country and, as @aritra said, there are SO MANY demons in our epics!
Sarah says
Haha! You’re giving me Moon at Nine vibes!
Ateuzinho says
1- probably a second one in the continent of Africa or one in Australia;
2- one in China or India;
3- one in the Middle East;
Europe has too many schools! TOO MANY schools!
Shreyas says
Hey bro I think only seven wizardry schools are there the Koldovstoretz is not there.
daniel odeiga says
I really need a magic teacher…. I love magic. ..can anyone please help mr😧😥
Jake Hamilton says
Another north American school on the west coast, Nepal India, under water port key door to the school in austrial either to another plane of Australia or in the outback, maybe even in Sydney well hidden by magic, and lastly one in Dubai under the burj Khalifa building twice as tall
jacqui says
these all seem to be boarding schools like Hogwarts but have you guys considered smaller, ‘frontier’ size establishments of learning?
Any boarding school would require a huge outlay of money to send a child too and most parents are not comfortable with sending their children away in the first place. You also have to consider the differences in language and custom and religion.
My suggestion is that there are 11 prestigious schools and perhaps hundreds of smaller institutions as well as a network of private tutors and, of course, homeschooling.
travel between places with portkeys, floo and apparition has been used canonically as acceptable means of everyday transport – Molly Weasley uses the floo network to go shopping and everyone seems to be fire hopping or apparating in order to get to work. Yes, the latter appears to be restricted by a license but the same can be said for driving a car and how many of us were dropped off at school by our mummies? Side-along could just be their version.
Perhaps some schools were run by the government. Hogwarts has been a school of renown for hundreds of years, here in Australia we have buildings pushing 200years. Its not comparable. a lot of country schools, here and around the world, started as single room buildings with maybe ten pupils or less. take into account the smaller magical population and the relative ease of travel and you could assume that several of these smaller buildings were located around the country. perhaps a larger one then being formed in the outback where there is plenty of unexplored land and secret, sacred places.
Tilak osforger says
why there isn”t a school nearby to India i want the answer
Idk says
Even I want to go to a school in India!
Celine says
I want to know are in Indonesian have magic school??
SeverusSnape says
Indonesians probably go to the Japanese school. but there are probably a bunch of smaller Indonesian schools in Indonesia, just not well known like Hogwarts or Beauxbatons.
SeverusSnape says
why are there so few schools in North and South America? Although it makes sense that there are only 2 because they were discovered so recently(in comparison to Europe) you’d think that there would be at least 5 because of the population(my guess is that 1 out of 100 people there are magic, whereas Europe would be only 1 out of 200).
Anonimas witch11 says
I want to believe there is a school for German speaking people. I have German heritage but am American and live in California but the only school in North America is half way across the country!!!
I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter series of books I never want to watch the movie because they are misleading.
I have no lie where the other schools are but I think maybe Switzerland or the Himalayas. If you agree write a comment thingy bellow here. 😉
Stew says
If you look closely the American school is actually in Canada
