Read about this today. This is so awesome! She also apparently said there are eleven large schools like that in the world, so U can't wait to hear more

I wonder what the North American wizards were doing while Volderhitler was taking over.

[Galuf]

didnt even think there was more :lol: stupid me

[Depression Moon]

Much (some would say all) magic originated in Africa, and Uagadou graduates are especially well versed in Astronomy, Alchemy and Self-Transfiguration. The wand is a European invention, and while African witches and wizards have adopted it as a useful tool in the last century, many spells are cast simply by pointing the finger or through hand gestures.

Uagadou seems legit. I always thought it was weird how wizards and witches in Harry Potter seemed to forget they could use magic without wands. This African school would blow Hogwarts out the water considering that they aren't useless without wands and they seem to accomplish more in general with 14 year old Animagus and trout.

I'd like to see J.K. Rowling let an African author write a book about this school.

Well I don't need three guesses to figure out which country 'Uagadou' is in.

[Pheesh]

The Australian school has no real speciality aside from its former Headmaster also holding the world record for most ogden's firewhiskey shots downed in a minute.

I wonder what the North American wizards were doing while Volderhitler was taking over.

Doing our 40's routine of 'not getting involved' unless we're attacked, and then we would've swept in and kicked Voldy's ass. Luckily for him that didn't happen. He got off easy if you ask me. :colbert:

Maybe they were busy fighting Mahoutokoro.

Creating a new spell so powerful it could decimate an entire city, then practicing that spell in the South Pacific.

Well what were the Americans doing during the first part of WW II ? hMM ?
:colbert:

[Del Murder]

Was there a WWII in that world? Plus the first time Voldemort took over? You would think the world would pitch a hand when another powerful maniac starts mobilizing.

I think it was said in Philosophers Stone that Dumbledore killed a evil wizard or something ? Before Voldemort came to power ?

[Fynn]

Yes, Grindelwald. His boyfriend.

[Karifean]

"Magic Place"? Man those Japanese wizards have literally no imagination.

[Fynn]

To be fair, that is how they name stuff

[Loony BoB]

Meanwhile, in Japan...


"Small crusty growths on the skin of pigs?" Man, those British wizards make no sense.
