The HPT videos are so fascinating and compelling, but every time I watch one, I can't help but ask myself where the information comes from. Is it purely your theory put forward? Theories found on fan forums? Some official scripts or interviews by JKR? Or a mix of all? I can never find any resources mentioned, and it bugs me every time not knowing exactly how canon or how speculative the ideas are. I think that knowing where the information comes from (with some sort of disclaimer at the beginning of the video, or resources in the description) would really help me appreciate the ideas without this burning question in the back of my mind. That being said (or asked), thank you for bringing me back to the HP universe every time you release a video! :P
Thanks for watching! Nearly everything I discuss is canon and based off of official Wizarding World Releases (Original books/films, extended lore written by Rowling and published online, games etc.) Typically, only the videos with 'Theory' in the title are speculative.
They might have several smaller schools that cater to the different dialects and religions. The 11 schools talked about in supplementary materials are only the 11 most prestigious.
Because J.K. Rowling doesn't have a very good working knowledge of the world outside of her own little bubble in socially liberal elements of English society. Seriously, I would take anything she writes about the greater Wizarding world outside of Britton with a grain of salt. Even her history of the ministry of magic in Britton I would take with a very big pinch of salt.

I would love it if we got to know about the USA version in the wizard in world as maybe an whole new story that takes place in the same universe would be pretty cool
I'm actually working on that in my fanfiction writing about a story taking place here in New Zealand. Considering that I actually live here in New Zealand, and J.K. Rowling's version of the New Zealand Ministry for magic it was just so cringeworthy and written by someone who clearly has no working knowledge of New Zealand, I think I could do a much better job than J.K. Rowling could on that score.
Brilliant video indeed mate … but how comes you’ve missed the Egyptian ministry of magic ? I believe Egyptian wizards do show up on various occasions don’t they? 😊
It's not his content that he is presenting. It is content that J.K. Rowling herself has created. And it is clear to me that she has a mediocre at best working knowledge of the world outside of modern Britton. It's obvious to me because she has missed out the vast majority of the worlds population, and even what she has covered, she has covered in a way that screams lack of being informed to me. The nasty side of my nature even wonders if she is even aware that there is a modern nation called Egypt. Or like anybody else that isn't that well informed about world affairs outside of their own country, does she just think that Egypt only existed in ancient times? But the more charitable impulse in me thinks that she has just overlooked Egypt because she has overlooked so many other parts of the world, and I can't help noticing that all these ministers of magic and magical governments she has created all have the same, socially liberal, feminist ideology that underpins them. That's not how the real world has worked throughout history, and it's not how the vast majority of the world works today. But to feminist ideologues like J.K. Rowling, they want to incorporate their ideology and use these sorts of platforms to push their ideology, because they know nothing outside of the ideology and anything that is outside the ideology is somehow "wrong". I tell you all of this so that you understand why Egypt was left out. Because the entire international with magical world was created by somebody that is mediocre at best.
Based on how insanely stereotypical all of these are we can safely assume the british ministry of magic like tea, exclusively wear top hats and got ugly teeth.
It's stereotypical because it's J.K. Rowling. She doesn't have a working knowledge of the world, and doesn't understand how most people in the world actually are or what their cultures are really like. All she can rely on is stereotypes. But I also detect a strong undercurrent of feminist, liberal ideology that underpins a lot of this sort of thing. It's clear to me, that she is one of these people that thinks that anything that is not secular, feminist and socially liberal is somehow "bad" or "wrong". She doesn't really understand how the world actually works outside of this feminist, socially liberal bubble that she lives in, and in her mind demonises any other worldview that contradicts that. And therefore, she imagines all this history and all these world governments to be through this lens that she herself interprets the world in, rather than understanding these countries she is trying to create visiting governments for, and being okay with them perhaps mirroring the cultures that these governments are supposed to represent. The harsh reality is, that J.K. Rowling's worldview is a minority worldview both Historicle and in the 21st-century globe. Most people do not think like her and have never done. So if she is going to write an honest critique and analysis of what magical governments worldwide look like, first of all, she might want to look at a map and learn her geography, and secondly, she might want to stop demonising her feminist and socially liberal ideology and understand how the vast majority of people actually live, think, behave and view the world.
@@milanka882 there are feminist socially liberal people who are like that but IMPO Rowling is a bit more clever than that, more cultured. these entries strike me as simply lacking the "love" that she put into other lore, perhaps done half-assed just to bulk up the pages of the online wiki or rushed to get done under the pressure of an impending hollywood production.
Isn't Durmstrang in northern Europe? Bulgaria isn't in northern Europe But anyway great video as always! Almost every day when I open TH-cam I'm hoping you've uploaded a new video!
This list was made by J.K. Rowling. This is somebody who I very much doubt could even find Bulgaria on a map, let alone know that it has more of a southern climate, so therefore big winter furry coats and other winter type of uniforms would not be needed, even in the mountains of Bulgaria. I always wondered if demonstrating was perhaps located in Russia or somewhere like that, but clearly not. Once again, J.K. Rowling and her lack of knowledge of the world outside of her own little bubble. She is so annoying.
Anyone else think the Polish Ministry of Magic would have something akin to Witchers? That, or Spaceballs, the Flamethrower, or both. Both is always an option.
durmstrang can't be in Bulgaria, it's farther north, krum, who's bulgarian, says in the winter they have very little day light, do most likely it's located um Scandinavia
Yeah, that's what I think too. But like I have been saying on so many comments, I don't think J.K. Rowling even knows where Bulgaria is awkward pointed out on a map. If she could, she would know that Bulgaria is a southern Slavic country, and therefore is going to have a southern climate. Also, Krum is not even a Bulgarian sounding name. This is what I mean, she clearly has no idea about what she is talking about, but she is trying to hard to give everyone the impression that she does. Anyone with just a little bit of nous about the sorts of things can pick it apart.
Krum is the name of a Bulgarian Khan (ruler) in the 7th or 8th century. Now, is it a common modern Bulgarian name.. Absolutely not, but Khan Krum is one of the most known Bulgarian Khan's in Bulgarian history. Hence why she names him Viktor Krum.
And once again, Norway is the only Scandinavian country that gets any attention, while Sweden and Denmark are completely ignored. People are aware that there are two other countries in Scandinavia right?
I'm sure people are, I know I am. But this is J.K. Rowling we are talking about, and I'm even surprised that she even realises that Norway existed to be honest.
For Magical America and MacUSA I would have liked to seen more on *post-Rapport's Law* MacUSA who was in charge of the Congress and Ilvermony. Oh and Quandpot! (I wonder if they use a combination of Brooms and Carpets 😜 ) Both in the 90's and Today, and if any Potters Live in Magical America Still?
The magical City of New York. Just gives me goosebumps. At least I think they're goosebumps. Maybe it's the side effect of an oblivia... what was I saying?
I had a que and i searched on yt and noticed u had not delved into it. Question being what magic did dumbledore use to put philosophers stone inside mirror of erised... if i missed the video u might have made link plss✌️✌️
Here are the 50 schools of Iori's map; Based on the 'Atlas of Magical Education' Europe Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Beauxbatons Academy of Magic Durmstrang Institute Europaische Schule fur Magische Studien Corvinus Academy Carpatian School of Magic Nordic Academy of Magic Lusitana Academia Academia Iberica Accademia d'Italia (I would have studied here) Kirke Akademia (my favourite, the oldest in existence AND the gayest!) East Asia Imperial Academy of Sorcery (China) School of the Wise Dragon (Japan) Baedal Academy (Korea) Great School of the Shining Ocean (Burma) Abode of the Enlightened Mountain (Thailand) Academy of the Great Dragon (Vietnam) The three Indian schools Mantraveda Gurukula Bengal School of Magic Dravida School of Enlightenment Central Asia and Middle East Koldovstoretz School Tengri Institute of Magical Education Academy of the Great Huma (Persia) Gift of Aram and Mountain of Amirani (Armenia and Georgia) Abaris Academy of Magic (Turkey) Semiramis Academy of Magic (Arabia) Kabbalah Ma'asit Institute (Israel) Canada and US Plymouth School of Magic Ilvermorny Academy Dixonian Confederation of Magical Education Etoile du Blanc Academy of Magic (Quebec) Vesperia School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Anglo-Canadian) Columbia School of Magic (Pacific Northwest) Pacifica Institute of Magic (California) Latin America Espada y Varita Academia (Mexico) Caribbean Academy of Magic House of the Gathering of Q'ul'qulkan Nueva Iberica Escuela (Colombia) Escuela de Magia de Ciudopacha (Peru) Plataluna Colegio de Magia (Argentina) Academia de Castelobruxo Africa Great Madrasa of the Magical Maghreb Academie des Etudes Magique d'Afrique de l'Ouest Uagadou School of Magic Unzawi School of Magic New Dorestad Academy (South Africa) Indo-Pacific Academy of the Celestial Ocean (Indonesia) Tala School of Sorcery (Philippines) Abja School (Aboriginal Australia) Oceanian School of Magic (Polynesia) Most of the 25 known governments overlap with one of the 50 schools on the map. The most interesting part to me is how MAGUSA seems to have five schools within its area (with vastly different histories and ideologies) and yet only one is ever mentioned; a video dedicated to MAGUSA perhaps might shed light on the regional diversity within the US.
Wow! Where did you get this from? Also, one thing I might say, Polynesia is not actually a place. You would have to put the school somewhere within the Pacific triangle… Easter island to the north, Hawaii to the east and New Zealand to the south. With in the triangle, there are various Pacific Island nations. A lot of them are Polynesian, some of them Micronesian or Melanesian. But on the other hand, you could say the school you have said that is in Polynesia could be in French Polynesia i.e. Tahiti. I am currently writing fanfiction about the Wizarding world here in New Zealand where I live, and I have invented a school called the Skilbeck Wananga For the magical arts. It is nestled in the southern alps on the South Island of New Zealand, and it was founded in the 1870s by Albert Flitwick, distant relation to Filius Flitwick. Otherwise, an interesting comprehensive list. The other question I would like to ask as well is are they all boarding schools? I would certainly hope not. I would like to think, especially as I invent Skilbeck Wananga, that at least some schools have moved past this compulsory boarding, and have a more relaxed approach towards boarding, even perhaps not allowing boarding for the first one or two years. I have been reading about boarding school and how harmful it can actually be to people and even to societies. So I would certainly hope that modern magical schools would have a more nuanced and forwardthinking approach towards boarding as well… Including I would like to think Hogwarts had grown out of its compulsory boarding and lack of past door care and be more up-to-date about this stuff. Also, boarding schools are not necessarily the norm in all parts of the world, and different cultures are going to have a different approach to educating their Wizarding children just as they do in the muggle world educating their children.
@@milanka882 That's a lot of interesting things to discuss! Firstly, the source is Iori's 'Harry Potter and the Realistic Magic OR A More Realistic Potterverse'. Secondly, Polynesia is a place as much as any continent is a place. Continents are geographic abstractions built on a combination of physical geography and human geography. With Polynesia is mostly the latter, because Polynesians have settled such a huge area of the planet, a feat unparalleled in world history. Polynesia is really the extent of Polynesian expansion and colonization, and the Pacific triangle (although I would call it Polynesian triangle) with Tahiti in the centre provides a very convenient picture of the Polynesian area. The reason I insist on Polynesia is that Polynesians are so underrepresented in Western media that many would ignore the Polynesian world and only focus on a small part of it. The most blatant example comes (unfortunately) with one of my favourite movies of all time, Disney's 'Moana', that many mistakenly think it's about Hawaii just because it's about Polynesians. That's mistaking the tree for the forest. As for the boarding schools, I don't know when the idea of a boarding school originated; it must be noted that some schools on the map are many centuries older than Hogwarts and that magical education goes further back still. There must have been renowned schools of magic in ancient Egypt, but those are lost to time. Kirke Akademia is the oldest in the modern day and it retains much of its ancient Greek customs. And that's still in Europe, other schools are going to look even more alien to the British, so much so that they might as well exist in a different fantasy franchise altogether. In fact, reading what Iori has to say about the Abode of the Enlightened Mountain (the Thai school) I could not help but think that it looks exactly like one of the Air Temples from Avatar the Last Airbender.
Does anybody think that one of the unnamed wizarding schools is a Abrahamic one in Israel? I mean, Jesus, Moses and other may had some sort of abilities during their life regarding wizarding magic, so it would make sense that their influence may have led to a school of some sort in the Levant based off their magic and teachings.
I'm a bit upset that there is no Canadian representation. We are not a spin off of the USA. Just whining I guess. I really háte being lumped with the Americans. We are obviously not as magical as many other countries. 😢🇨🇦
Has J.K. Rowling heard of Canada? Could you find it on a map? I doubt it. Quitehonestly I'm surprised New Zealand is in this list, even if it is really cheesy and Kranji the way it's done.
@@MichaelJohnsonAzgard What you say makes no sense. Rowling doesn’t know geography. She got facts for all three countries wrong. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh didn’t exist before 1947 & 1971 resp. None of the three cities is ancient. Dhaka was a port created by the European trade, the Mughal town that port belonged to was made in 1600s and called something else. Islamabad was made in 1970s and Mumbai was made by the Portuguese in 1800s. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge would’ve chosen magical governments of Tibet & Bhutan instead of Pak and Bangla. Both have a history of the occult and this narrative would’ve fitted neatly. Similarly, Egypt should’ve been chosen in the list. Also, Iran should’ve been called Persia and Mesopotamia ought to have been in the list as the original Iraq. All three are ancient civilisations with deep occult and magical traditions. Rowling is not as meticulous as Tolkien, in fact she’s quite illiterate about creating historical-appropriate narratives in her books. She’s inventive, wonderfully so, but doesn’t have well-rounded education.
@@PatSen ditto to absolutely everything you say. I wish she would just stop it. It's driving me absolutely insane. As someone who lives in New Zealand, she gets New Zealand completely wrong and has no idea about how this country works. So yes, I feel your pain. Also, she has no idea about languages and how people's names work or she would not have called Victor Krum, A Bulgarian character, a name that sounds completely an Bulgarian. I doubt even that she could find Bulgaria on a map either, because if she could, she would not have created High school there that has a particularly winter uniform that to me sounds more Russian than Bulgarian. She also would not have created a school where the sun barely shines in winter, because Bulgaria is too far south for that. Also, there would be a lot more governments around the world if somebody who actually had a working knowledge of geography, history, and the world generally outside of modern, socially liberal and feminist Western culture, had have created this. Another problem I have is that I see a strong current of social liberalism and feminism underpinning how these governments work. Even the fact that women are supposed to have been in leadership as far back as the 17th century. Clearly, this woman has no concept of the fact that her modern, socially liberal and feminist ideology is a minority worldview both Historicle and in the contemporary world. If somebody with a working knowledge of geography and culture had have invented these governments, they would be much more diversity of government governance reflected then there is here rather than just modern, Western democracies were even women can become ministers for magic in the 18th century. 🙄 and lastly, how could MACUSA exist, and be called by that name, nearly 100 years before the United States of America was actually founded? Clearly, she doesn't even know basic American history. Seriously, this woman it just drives me nuts and I wish she just shut up.
@@milanka882 My! What a lovely rant 🙂 She is poor in other aspects too….like all spells use Latin roots. That’s silly. Patil sisters would’ve used Sanskrit based mantras. But of course, she wouldn’t have the slightest idea of the spells in Atharvaveda and the hundreds of tantric texts. But it’s ok, she’s more to be pitied than censured.
Tolkien added much of the history and lore in the appendices, as part of The Lord of the Rings. Many of these wizarding governments were not in the 7 Harry Potter books, or the Fantastic Beasts films. They don't count.
Thank you. And neither should they. It was clearly done so badly, clearly done by someone with a working knowledge of the world outside of their own little bubble that was mediocre at best, and so many countries and people groups so obviously missed out, but I think that people around the world who want to write a fanfiction about the Wizarding world in their own country and owns society should be left to do so. I'm sure that I could do a better job of writing about New Zealand's Minister for magic and ministry for magic then she called, considering that I live here in New Zealand and New Zealand is my world. It was so embarrassing to hear what she had to say about New Zealand Wizarding world that it made me want to 🤮.b

I love the Italian Wizard government for sure but I must ask. What about the Irish? Ireland is it's own nation and for wizards there surely they would have their own government wouldn't they?
Maybe *magical* Irish people view the whole thing a bit differently and like Scotland, they're just mixed in with the Ministry of Magic? Irish kids go to Hogwarts and all. 🤷🏻♀ Maybe in magical communities there isn't a NI/Ireland split in that way because there are so few actual magical people compared to Muggles? Or they may have their own governmental bodies, but it's easier to have most offices, etc in the Ministry because they have so much contact with British wizards?
Yes but Ireland does not have a majic school. But since Ireland is a nation seperate from Britian surely the majical community would have it's own government right?@@kellysouter4381

Krum is the name of a Bulgarian Khan (ruler) in the 7th or 8th century. Now, is it a common modern Bulgarian name.. Absolutely not, but Khan Krum is one of the most known Bulgarian Khan's in Bulgarian history. Hence why she names him Viktor Krum.
Wouldn't Bangladesh be going against the international statute of secrecy then? Do they just obliviate tourists or something?? How would that work?
Hope that the Movie Flame channel will make a video about this.
Just to mention that Bulgarian flag is not red, white, green but white, green, red.
And once again, Norway is the only Scandinavian country that gets any attention, while Sweden and Denmark are completely ignored. People are aware that there are two other countries in Scandinavia right?
I'm sure people are, I know I am. But this is J.K. Rowling we are talking about, and I'm even surprised that she even realises that Norway existed to be honest.
For Magical America and MacUSA I would have liked to seen more on *post-Rapport's Law* MacUSA who was in charge of the Congress and Ilvermony. Oh and Quandpot! (I wonder if they use a combination of Brooms and Carpets 😜 )
Both in the 90's and Today, and if any Potters Live in Magical America Still?
How they entered in (or out) the ministry of magic worldwide?
You are a Canadian, do I know right? I would love to see a video about sorting Murdoch mysteries characters into Hogwarts houses, please.
u think there is religion or something in the wizarding world? would make a interesting vid
I’ve made this vid before!
Viva Vicência Santos!!! 🪄✨️🎉🎉🎉💚💛
Australia Aboriginals - oldest continuous culture in the world - probably taught quite a lot to the rest of the wizarding world.
Hmmm. I wonder if J.K. Rowling could actually find Australia on a map?
I want to know if they have lifted the segregation in makuza in the storyline today.
It would make sense that Jamacia doesn't have its own miniatry because the witches and wizards there don't hide themselves from Muggles
MUCHACHOOOOOOS somos canon en harry potter 1:50
The magical City of New York. Just gives me goosebumps. At least I think they're goosebumps. Maybe it's the side effect of an oblivia... what was I saying?
I had a que and i searched on yt and noticed u had not delved into it. Question being what magic did dumbledore use to put philosophers stone inside mirror of erised... if i missed the video u might have made link plss✌️✌️

Most of the 25 known governments overlap with one of the 50 schools on the map.
The most interesting part to me is how MAGUSA seems to have five schools within its area (with vastly different histories and ideologies) and yet only one is ever mentioned; a video dedicated to MAGUSA perhaps might shed light on the regional diversity within the US.
Wow! Where did you get this from? Also, one thing I might say, Polynesia is not actually a place. You would have to put the school somewhere within the Pacific triangle… Easter island to the north, Hawaii to the east and New Zealand to the south. With in the triangle, there are various Pacific Island nations. A lot of them are Polynesian, some of them Micronesian or Melanesian. But on the other hand, you could say the school you have said that is in Polynesia could be in French Polynesia i.e. Tahiti. I am currently writing fanfiction about the Wizarding world here in New Zealand where I live, and I have invented a school called the Skilbeck Wananga For the magical arts. It is nestled in the southern alps on the South Island of New Zealand, and it was founded in the 1870s by Albert Flitwick, distant relation to Filius Flitwick. Otherwise, an interesting comprehensive list. The other question I would like to ask as well is are they all boarding schools? I would certainly hope not. I would like to think, especially as I invent Skilbeck Wananga, that at least some schools have moved past this compulsory boarding, and have a more relaxed approach towards boarding, even perhaps not allowing boarding for the first one or two years. I have been reading about boarding school and how harmful it can actually be to people and even to societies. So I would certainly hope that modern magical schools would have a more nuanced and forwardthinking approach towards boarding as well… Including I would like to think Hogwarts had grown out of its compulsory boarding and lack of past door care and be more up-to-date about this stuff. Also, boarding schools are not necessarily the norm in all parts of the world, and different cultures are going to have a different approach to educating their Wizarding children just as they do in the muggle world educating their children.
@@milanka882 That's a lot of interesting things to discuss!
Firstly, the source is Iori's 'Harry Potter and the Realistic Magic OR A More Realistic Potterverse'.
Secondly, Polynesia is a place as much as any continent is a place. Continents are geographic abstractions built on a combination of physical geography and human geography. With Polynesia is mostly the latter, because Polynesians have settled such a huge area of the planet, a feat unparalleled in world history.
Polynesia is really the extent of Polynesian expansion and colonization, and the Pacific triangle (although I would call it Polynesian triangle) with Tahiti in the centre provides a very convenient picture of the Polynesian area.
The reason I insist on Polynesia is that Polynesians are so underrepresented in Western media that many would ignore the Polynesian world and only focus on a small part of it. The most blatant example comes (unfortunately) with one of my favourite movies of all time, Disney's 'Moana', that many mistakenly think it's about Hawaii just because it's about Polynesians. That's mistaking the tree for the forest.
As for the boarding schools, I don't know when the idea of a boarding school originated; it must be noted that some schools on the map are many centuries older than Hogwarts and that magical education goes further back still.
There must have been renowned schools of magic in ancient Egypt, but those are lost to time. Kirke Akademia is the oldest in the modern day and it retains much of its ancient Greek customs.
And that's still in Europe, other schools are going to look even more alien to the British, so much so that they might as well exist in a different fantasy franchise altogether.
In fact, reading what Iori has to say about the Abode of the Enlightened Mountain (the Thai school) I could not help but think that it looks exactly like one of the Air Temples from Avatar the Last Airbender.
Is there Greek ministry of magic?
Isn't that a HUNGARIAN flag when you mention the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic? 4:20
Does anybody think that one of the unnamed wizarding schools is a Abrahamic one in Israel? I mean, Jesus, Moses and other may had some sort of abilities during their life regarding wizarding magic, so it would make sense that their influence may have led to a school of some sort in the Levant based off their magic and teachings.
I'm a bit upset that there is no Canadian representation. We are not a spin off of the USA. Just whining I guess. I really háte being lumped with the Americans. We are obviously not as magical as many other countries. 😢🇨🇦
Im from the UK but live in Canada! Trust me, I’d like to cover it. There’s just no information out there on the Ministry here.
Try being Australian. We are constantly forgotten about.
Has J.K. Rowling heard of Canada? Could you find it on a map? I doubt it. Quitehonestly I'm surprised New Zealand is in this list, even if it is really cheesy and Kranji the way it's done.
I imagine the Italian ministry of magic is under high alert right now.
Bangladesh did not exist before 1971. Dear Ms Rowling did not do her research.
@PatSen He never said it did, pay attention to the video. They said the ancient city, not the ancient country.
@@MichaelJohnsonAzgard What you say makes no sense. Rowling doesn’t know geography. She got facts for all three countries wrong. Both Pakistan and Bangladesh didn’t exist before 1947 & 1971 resp. None of the three cities is ancient. Dhaka was a port created by the European trade, the Mughal town that port belonged to was made in 1600s and called something else. Islamabad was made in 1970s and Mumbai was made by the Portuguese in 1800s. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge would’ve chosen magical governments of Tibet & Bhutan instead of Pak and Bangla. Both have a history of the occult and this narrative would’ve fitted neatly. Similarly, Egypt should’ve been chosen in the list. Also, Iran should’ve been called Persia and Mesopotamia ought to have been in the list as the original Iraq. All three are ancient civilisations with deep occult and magical traditions. Rowling is not as meticulous as Tolkien, in fact she’s quite illiterate about creating historical-appropriate narratives in her books. She’s inventive, wonderfully so, but doesn’t have well-rounded education.
@@PatSen ditto to absolutely everything you say. I wish she would just stop it. It's driving me absolutely insane. As someone who lives in New Zealand, she gets New Zealand completely wrong and has no idea about how this country works. So yes, I feel your pain. Also, she has no idea about languages and how people's names work or she would not have called Victor Krum, A Bulgarian character, a name that sounds completely an Bulgarian. I doubt even that she could find Bulgaria on a map either, because if she could, she would not have created High school there that has a particularly winter uniform that to me sounds more Russian than Bulgarian. She also would not have created a school where the sun barely shines in winter, because Bulgaria is too far south for that. Also, there would be a lot more governments around the world if somebody who actually had a working knowledge of geography, history, and the world generally outside of modern, socially liberal and feminist Western culture, had have created this. Another problem I have is that I see a strong current of social liberalism and feminism underpinning how these governments work. Even the fact that women are supposed to have been in leadership as far back as the 17th century. Clearly, this woman has no concept of the fact that her modern, socially liberal and feminist ideology is a minority worldview both Historicle and in the contemporary world. If somebody with a working knowledge of geography and culture had have invented these governments, they would be much more diversity of government governance reflected then there is here rather than just modern, Western democracies were even women can become ministers for magic in the 18th century. 🙄 and lastly, how could MACUSA exist, and be called by that name, nearly 100 years before the United States of America was actually founded? Clearly, she doesn't even know basic American history. Seriously, this woman it just drives me nuts and I wish she just shut up.
@@milanka882 My! What a lovely rant 🙂
She is poor in other aspects too….like all spells use Latin roots. That’s silly. Patil sisters would’ve used Sanskrit based mantras. But of course, she wouldn’t have the slightest idea of the spells in Atharvaveda and the hundreds of tantric texts. But it’s ok, she’s more to be pitied than censured.
It’s prononced « Lishtenshtein » ;)
These.people can teleport.why do we habe more tham one organization!
Tolkien added much of the history and lore in the appendices, as part of The Lord of the Rings. Many of these wizarding governments were not in the 7 Harry Potter books, or the Fantastic Beasts films. They don't count.
Thank you. And neither should they. It was clearly done so badly, clearly done by someone with a working knowledge of the world outside of their own little bubble that was mediocre at best, and so many countries and people groups so obviously missed out, but I think that people around the world who want to write a fanfiction about the Wizarding world in their own country and owns society should be left to do so. I'm sure that I could do a better job of writing about New Zealand's Minister for magic and ministry for magic then she called, considering that I live here in New Zealand and New Zealand is my world. It was so embarrassing to hear what she had to say about New Zealand Wizarding world that it made me want to 🤮.b
Wonder if Aussies would generally study in NZ being so close or at Hogwarts being so closely linked to the UKs overall governance still.
Any school in Australia would probably be Aboriginal only.
I find it to be quite ¡d¡0+¡c that considering all the curse & legend of mighty mystic powers that EGYPT HAD SINCE ANCIENT ERAS...
THERE'S NO COUNCIL OF EGYPTIAN MAGIC!!!!
SERIOUSLY!!!
Rowling thought of adding Andorra (where the HELL was that anyway) & that tiny state Lienchinstien whatever that used to be part of Sweden or something BUT NO ONE PRIORITIZE THE INCLUSION OF THE OLDEST MOST POWERFUL MYSTIC STATE OF THE ANCIENT WORLD!!! Like one of the Weasley boys work in Egypt!!! EGYPT SHOULD BE FIRST IN LINE & BE THE MOST INFLUENTIAL... LIKE WHITE AMERICAN KILLED THE NATIVE AMERICAN SO THEIR NATURAL SOURCE OF MAGIC MUST BE WEAKER THEN EGYPT!!!
WHY?!?!? Are their SFX TEAM can't do those Mummy Franchise Amazing Sand special effects!!! IS this about MONEY... SO THOSE COUNTRIES PAID TO BE PRIORITIZED IN THE CREATION OF
I love the Italian Wizard government for sure but I must ask. What about the Irish? Ireland is it's own nation and for wizards there surely they would have their own government wouldn't they?
The wizard governments were drawn up centuries ago and don’t necessarily conform to muggle borders
Seamus Finnegan attended Hogwarts.
Maybe *magical* Irish people view the whole thing a bit differently and like Scotland, they're just mixed in with the Ministry of Magic? Irish kids go to Hogwarts and all. 🤷🏻♀ Maybe in magical communities there isn't a NI/Ireland split in that way because there are so few actual magical people compared to Muggles? Or they may have their own governmental bodies, but it's easier to have most offices, etc in the Ministry because they have so much contact with British wizards?
Yes but Ireland does not have a majic school. But since Ireland is a nation seperate from Britian surely the majical community would have it's own government right?@@kellysouter4381
Hmm... so the wizars and witches in Ireland don''t have that anger against the british? Weird... I mean I guess that makes sence... @@LadyBeyondTheWall
I hate how un-creative these names are…just stick the country’s name in front of “ministry of magic” and presto you have a magical governing body…
Is there a Russian ministry of magic?
😊🎉🏞🏝🦁
Is there wizards government in Israel?
What about Israel? Does Israel have magical government, and schools?
25 is not very many 😔
FOR NORMANDY, BRITANNIA, GREENLAND, SCANDINAVIA,

WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE
VALHALLELUJA!

When did J.K say all this stuff about the other countries governments when it comes to magic. We know about French and durmstrang because of Harry Potter and some have been focused on the fantastic beasts but why did J.K never include them in the books.
No Romania? The dragons are there… Thumbs down 👎
It’s not Argentinian. It’s Argentine.
