so, if you have any headcanons about wizarding schools and wouldn’t mind if they work their way into my marauders fanfic (with credit in the notes sections of course), can you please share? I’ve been browsing the wizarding schools tag on here and seen some genuinely fascinating headcanons and schools from people wanting their countries and cultures to be properly represented, and I don’t want to steal any ideas of course! it’s just such a shame we know so much on hogwarts, a little on ilvermorny and beauxbatons, and basically nothing on the others. like, there’s allegedly three schools we’re missing! that’s insane right????!

- Wizarding Schools around the world -

I mean.. Why are they not making a series or movies about the other magical schools??

Like for example:

Durmstrang 🇧🇬

Beauxbatons 🇫🇷

Ilvemorny 🇺🇸

Castelobruxo 🇧🇷

Uagadou 🇺🇬

Mahoutokoro 🇯🇵

It's so fascinating and interesting to learn the history about all the other magical schools!!!

They could have also make something about the Tom Riddle era or Marauders era if they wanted...

Franklin "Frankie" Wright Fan Cast — Patrick Dempsey

"No."

Franklin Wright, eighteen in 1892, is in his final year at Hogwarts. Franklin was born to two former Hogwarts students from an affair using Amortentia. He was adopted by Ugandan parents, and once he was of age he was sent to Uagadou to begin his studies of wizardry and magic. In the middle of his fourth year, after finding himself with a trouble-inducing crowd, Franklin was expelled from the school. Leaving his parents with no other choice, they moved back to Scotland, and Franklin transferred to Hogwarts soon thereafter. 

Frankie is a quiet yet passionate spirit, allowing new friends to find him in the most unlikeliest of circumstances. He barely talks to those he most enjoys the company of, and does not speak to strangers. He does exactly what his heart and mind tell him to do, following the path that he thinks is correct no matter what others may think of him. This silent confidence and truthfulness in everything he does is something many of his loved ones hope stays with him, as it is what makes Frankie himself.

Also: there should definitely be a school of magic in Timbuktu. And Benin. And Egypt. Why only Uagadou?

There must have been some type of shitty after taste from imperialism and lot of the Ancient schools just decided not to be involved with the Western Wizarding world.

I bet the Western magic is so different from African magic that the Western schools of witchcraft don’t even recognize the African school of magic as real magic. And the magic would be different in different parts of Africa.

in West Africa There would be a lot more nature bound rituals, music and collaboration with the ancestral spirits and communal magic. The spells would involve long incantations based in ancient African languages done in sacred ritual places and there would be less emphasis on face to face duels and other brutal methods of the whites. There would be no use of fragile magic wands. The magic would be tied to an objects like a pot filled with magical items hidden in ground and the object would be dug out and used to perform powerful magic in secret gatherings. The magic would be communal and would depend to be produced as a group and not an individual effort. There would also be significantly more animagi and no requirement to be registered, much to the annoyance of the Europeans.

So Uagadou was probably just the most European complying and adopted more of their techniques and was included in the list of officially recognized schools as they fit the European idea of what magic is and what a school of magic is.
