This ancient Japanese school has the smallest student body of the eleven great wizarding schools and takes students from the age of seven.
The ornate and exquisite palace of Mahoutokoro is made of mutton-fat jade, and stands on the topmost point of the ‘uninhabited’ (or so Muggles think) volcanic island of Minami Iwo Jima.
Students are presented with enchanted robes when they arrive, which grow in size as they do, and which gradually change colour as the learning of their wearer increases, beginning a faint pink colour and becoming (if top grades are achieved in every magical subject) gold. If the robes turn white, this is an indication that the student has betrayed the Japanese wizard’s code and adopted illegal practices or broken the International Statute of Secrecy. 
Mahoutokoro’s reputation rests not only on its impressive academic prowess, but also on its outstanding reputation for Quidditch.

Mahoutokoro

The largest of all wizarding schools, it welcomes students from all over Africa. The only address ever given is ‘Mountains of the Moon’; visitors speak of a stunning edifice carved out of the mountainside and shrouded in mist, so that it sometimes appears simply to float in mid-air.
Uagadou graduates are especially well versed in Astronomy, Alchemy and Self-Transfiguration.
Wands are used but many spells are cast simply by pointing the finger or through hand gestures.
Students receive notice that they have gained entrance at Uagadou from Dream Messengers, sent by the headmaster or headmistress of the day. The Dream Messenger will appear to the children as they sleep and will leave a token, usually an inscribed stone, which is found in the child’s hand on waking. No other school employs this method of pupil selection.

Uagadou

The Brazilian school for magic, which takes students from all over South America, may be found hidden deep within the rainforest.
Castelobruxo is an imposing square edifice of golden rock, often compared to a temple. Both building and grounds are protected by the Caipora, small and furry spirit-beings who are extraordinarily mischievous and tricky, and who emerge under cover of night to watch over the students and the creatures who live in the forest. 
Castelobruxo students wear bright green robes and are especially advanced in both Herbology and Magizoology.
The school offers very popular exchange programmes for European students who wish to study the magical flora and fauna of South America.

Beauxbatons Academy has a preponderance of French students, though Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Luxembourgians and Belgians also attend in large numbers.
 It is said that the stunning castle and grounds of this prestigious school were part-funded by alchemist gold, for Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel met at Beauxbatons in their youth, and a magnificent fountain in the middle of the school’s park, believed to have healing and beautifying properties, is named for them.
Beauxbatons has always enjoyed a cordial relationship with Hogwarts, though there has been a healthy rivalry in international competitions such as the Triwizard Tournament, in which Beauxbatons has sixty-two wins to Hogwarts’ sixty-three.

Durmstrang once had the darkest reputation of all eleven wizarding schools, though this was never entirely merited.
Harfang Munter, took over the school shortly after the mysterious death of its founder, the great Bulgarian witch Nerida Vulchanova. Munter established.
Durmstrang’s reputation for duelling and all forms of martial magic, which remain an impressive part of its curriculum today.
Although believed to be situated in the far north of Europe, Durmstrang is one of the most secretive of all schools about its whereabouts, so nobody can be quite certain. Visitors, who must comply with memory charms to erase their knowledge of how they got there, speak of vast, sprawling grounds with many stunning views, not least of the great, dark, spectral ship that is moored on a mountain lake behind the school, from which students dive in summertime.

Ilvermorny has the reputation of being one of the most democratic, least elitist of all the great wizarding schools.
The great North American school of magic was founded in the seventeenth century. It stands at the highest peak of Mount Greylock.
The robes of Ilvermorny are blue and cranberry. All Ilvermorny students’ robes are fastened by a gold Gordian Knot.
For the sorting ceremony, the students are called to stand on the symbol of the Gordian Knot set into the middle of the stone floor. In silence the school then waits for the enchanted carvings to react. If the Horned Serpent wants the student, the crystal set into its forehead will light up. If the Wampus wants the student, it roars. The Thunderbird signifies its approval by beating its wings, and the Pukwudgie will raise its arrow into the air.  
Should more than one carving signify its wish to include the student in its house, the choice rests with the student.
