Why are we not getting another school series in one of these schools instead of them remaking Harry POTTER!! Soo frustrating!! Expand, don’t remake. RIP

Ive got a feeling many of these schools would easily out do Hogwarts if we got more information about them.

Fun fact: Lucius initially wanted to send Draco to Durmstrang, since he saw it as a better school for his development, plus him and the headmaster were former colleagues (guess in what). However he ended up sending him to Hogwarts, because his mother didn’t want him to be too far away. Draco even boasted about how he should have gone there instead of the ‘muggle-ridden’ Hogwarts. However from what is known about this school, one benefit from Draco going there would have been, that it would have squashed his massive ego. Being renowned for their battle prowess, meant that it was not only tolerated, but encouraged that students solve their issues through violence. Combine that with the fact that everyone is a pureblood, who would challenge you to a duel because you called their cat a muggle and you get an very rigid social order, where your place is decided by how many of your classmates you have maimed, broken and traumatized. Admittedly we know little about Draco’s combat talent, but most likely what would have happened is that Draco would have antagonized the wrong person and got his teeth kicked in. He would then proceed to complain to his father, however, lacking the importance he could have claimed to have in Hogwarts, his father would have likely told him to man up and deal with it. Similar results are expected if he went to the headmaster. So, I imagine he would initially go through a stage of depression, then after realizing it’s fight or die, he would have locked in and eventually develop some bite behind his bark. Similarly to what happened after his father died.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Vincent Clortho Public School, they're definitely one of the strongest.

3 school with no backround. Would be a good place to make a movie, or series.

The more i learn about these schools the more i want games in the style of hogwarts legacy but exploring the other schools. Like Illvermorny Beauxbatons or ugadou would be so interesting.

@Ninowulf 8 months ago

A videogame set in Uagadou would be great

@Drakewolf145 9 months ago

personally, I'd say the the American school not having a Grindelwald is actually a good thing, as that means there's no crazy ass wizard or witch trying to take over the world.

J.K. Rowling created an entire new universe and we've only seen a brief glimpse of it through Hogwarts. There's mention of all these other schools, but we hardly know anything about them, the movie industry could gain a whole lot more by providing us with new stories centered around these schools. We could learn more about the American school and how it came to be, more about the French school for girls and the real beauty behind magic, the school of Uagadou is interesting by being the only wizarding school to be able to fly! Now who doesn't want to find out more about THAT?! We could even get more out of this franchise by going back to see other characters and how they got to where they were. We could have an entire story centered around James, Sirius, Lily, and Snape. We could get a real look at Dumbledore's past (not that cheap attempt with the Fantastic beast crap)! Heck we could even get the whole story about the 4 founders of Hogwarts! All those would be so much more interesting and worth learning about!

I would love a (well made) Uagadou spin-off movie/series!

@A350Airways 10 months ago

Let's not forget about Ilvermorny and Beauxbatons having an exchange program, where students whose parent(s) worked at the French MoM could spend 6 months at Ilvermorny (the only reference to it was in a Cri de la Gargouille issue in the first Fantastic Beasts movie, though, so presumably children of MACUSA employees could do the same in reverse; otherwise it would defeat the purpose of a student exchange if only one side could send a student).

I will pick Uagadou out of all the others simply because they teach casting magic without a wand. That is a huge advantageous skill to have mastered.

01:50 So Koldovstoretz is KGB. Got it.

@beverlyarcher546 9 months ago

Um Nicolas Flamel also attended Beauxbaton its not an all girls academy like the movies just like Durmstrang isn't an all boys all schools are boy and girl

@AugustScribblez 8 months ago

Don't forget both Beauxbaton and Durmstrang was both Co-Ed in the books the movies changed it to be Beauxbaton for females and Dumstrang for boys for some stupid reason.

@ned418 9 months ago

Honestly if Hogwarts Legacy is potentially getting a sequel (if I heard right), I can only imagine how interesting the other schools would be as well.
