Magic schools in JK Rowling's wizarding world - what you need to know

North America’s Ilvermorny, set to be an important location in the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, is one of 11 schools in JK Rowling’s wizarding world. Here’s what we know so far, from Uagadou in Uganda to Mahoutokoro in Japan. Which school would you most like to attend?

With the brand new film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them out in November, all eyes will be turning to the wizarding society of America and the North American wizarding school, Ilvermorny.

But Ilvermorny is only one of 11 schools located worldwide, so we thought we’d give you a quick summary of what we know so far. We gleaned most of our precious information from the font of wisdom – AKA Pottermore – where marvellous updates from JK Rowling herself are being posted over the next few days. Consequently this page will be updated when we know more so be sure to check back in!

Hogwarts

I think we can all agree that not much needs to be said about this one, but in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s what you need to know.

Located in somewhere in Scotland, Hogwarts takes students from all across the United Kingdom. It has produced various wizards of note, including the famous auror, Harry Potter and the infamous dark wizard, Lord Voldemort.

Hogwarts is situated in a grand castle with extensive grounds, including a rather dangerous forest. Why the founders chose to situate a school for children in such close proximity such a place is unknown. Neither is the reason that some teachers choose to send the children into the forest to complete detention.

Beauxbatons

Located somewhere in the Pyrenees, this school caters to the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Luxembourgian and Belgian students. Its alumni include the well known alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who is commemorated with a large fountain situated in the middle of the school’s park. This fountain is said to have healing and beautifying properties.

Beauxbatons is a rival of Hogwarts, competing against them regularly in Triwizard Tournaments and other such international competitions

The headmistress is Olympe Maxime, a half-giantess.

Durmstrang

One of the most secretive of schools, Durmstrang is believed to be located in the far north of Europe. Presumably, the students are at least somewhat aware of where they go to school, but any visitors are submitted to memory charms in order to erase any memory of its whereabouts.

Durmstrang has the darkest reputation of the schools, having fallen twice under the leadership of dark wizards and produced at least one infamous pupil. It is suggested, however, that this reputation is not deserved.

Since previous headmaster, Igor Karkaroff, a former death eater, abandoned his post and went into hiding with Lord Voldemort’s return, it has not been revealed who is currently running this school.

Mahoutokoro

Mahoutokoro, Japan. Illustration: Pottermore

The smallest of the 11 schools, Mahoutokoro is situated on the volcanic island of Minami Iwo Jima in Japan. The school takes students from the early age of seven years old, although these children do not board at the school until age 11. The younger students are flown to and from the school daily by flocks of giant storm petrels (magical birds). How they hide this activity from the Japanese Muggles has not been stated.

The main feature that sets Mahoutokoro apart from the other schools is their robes, which are enchanted to change colour as the wearer grows in skill. Starting at a pale pink, they change to various colours ending up golden if the student achieves high grades in all subjects. If the student adopts illegal practices and turns to “dark magic” or breaks the International Statute of Secrecy the robes change to white. The student will be immediately expelled and put on trial. Nothing is said about what happens when a student’s robes malfunction or are turned white by another student’s prank.

Uagadou

Uagadou, Africa Illustration: Pottermore

The largest of wizard schools, revealed to be located in Uganda, Africa by Rowling on Twitter, has no other address than “The Mountains of the Moon”. It produces many students who are highly qualified in subjects such as Alchemy, Astronomy and Self-Transfiguration.

Having only adopted the wand in recent years, many African spells can be cast with a simple hand gesture or pointing of the finger.

The school is very notable for having an unusual method of communicating with students. Instead of receiving a letter by owl, students are told of their acceptance to Uagadou by a message from the headmaster or headmistress through Dream Messengers. Dream Messengers communicate through tokens left for the children while they sleep. This is usually in the form of an inscribed stone.

Castelobruxo

Located deeply within the rainforest, Castelobruxo, shaped like a castle, is a school in Brazil which takes students from all over South America. The school grounds are protected by Caipora, small creatures who are said to be tricky and mysterious. A former headmistress of the school is claimed to have stated that these creatures cause more trouble than Peeves, the well know poltergeist who causes havoc in the corridors of Hogwarts.

Castelobruxo specialises in Herbology and Magizoology and offers exchange programmes for European students wanting to encounter other types of flora and fauna.

Ilvermorny

Ilvermorny, North America Illustration: Pottermore

Located in North America, Ilvermorny has many of its roots in Native American culture. Rowling told a fan on Twitter that “indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school”.

The Native American wizarding community was said to be gifted in animal and plant magic, Rowling revealed on Tuesday, and was apparently known to be gifted in wandless magic.

Rowling added on Wednesday that the American magical community changed a lot during the time of the Salem and other anti-magic hysteria and therefore the idolisation of “pure bloods” and the hatred of muggle-born or half-blooded witches and wizards has been far less rampant all across America.

Ivermorny is ranked among the top wizarding schools in the world.

On Thursday, Rowling revealed that the wizarding currency used in America is called a Dragot, though nothing about the exchange rate from galleons, sickles and knuts or from the American dollar.

She also revealed that in 1790 a law was designed to segregate the magical and none magical community. Witches and wizards were not allowed to marry those without magic and the American wizard government ( MACUSA) act completely independently from the non-magical one. After this law was introduced the common slang phrase ‘dorcus’ became popular to mean idiot or an inept person, after Dorcus Twelvetrees, who’s massive break of the statute of secrecy was the main reason for this law to be introduced.

All witches and wizards in America are proficient in the use of wands and can buy their wand from one of the four main providers in the United States.

Simple Guide to D&D 5e Schools of Magic

The bane of my existence as a DM is when a member of the party can cast “detect magic” either at-will or as a ritual. Seriously god dammit, shit-fuck I don’t know… Ahem. If you’re not familiar, Detect Magic allows the caster to be aware of any magical items/effects within 30ft, AND the caster is aware of which school of magic the effect/spell belongs to. For players who are not Wizards, the schools of magic in D&D 5e may seem like ‘a nice detail‘, but not really something that they necessarily NEED to know. However, for you – the DM – knowing the difference between schools of magic on the fly can make you seem like an expert (even if you aren’t).

In this article, I’ll provide a brief overview of the different schools of magic in 5e DnD, as well as some example spells (For more information check out pg 203 of PHB).

Overall, this toy offers a playful and whimsical way to celebrate the Halloween season while satisfying your sweet tooth..

School of Conjuration

“Pulling a rabbit from a hat”

The School of Conjuration deals with creating objects and creatures, or making them disappear.

Low Level: Find Familiar, Poison Spray

Mid Level: Spirit Guardians, Conjure Elemental

High Level: Plane Shift, Wish

DM Thoughts: You might think Banishment would be within the School of Conjuration, since it deals with making things disappear, but it’s actually within the School of Abjuration.
