Nicolas King said:I don't think it would. I think it might have two, but that's it.
Besides, having tonnes of people randomly joining saying "I went to Bing bong academy in Antarctica" would p1ss me off really quickly. So limiting it to known ones plus a few more may be best.
Also, the Wizarding world doesn't seem to be NEARLY as large as the muggle world and as such there probably aren't more than 10-15 wizarding schools in the entire 'world' and 3 are in Europe smile.gif
Well, that's the three we know about. In Britain, France, and Russia. There is one in Brazil (which would probably have its own, seeing as it's the only country in the Americas to speak Portuguese), and one or maybe two in the States. If the Salem one is girls only, definitely at least two.
Given population estimates for 2007:
US: 301139947
Ireland: 4109086
Great Britain: 60776238
The sum total of Ireland and GB's populations is roughly 21% of that of the US. So, I think a few more school than two is not unnatural. However, I do see where you're coming from on randomly making up school in other countries. As it stands right now, there are only two people who are not from our own canon: Edvard and Sarana. With that, it's not that big of a problem right now, and students who attend HNZ should try to be from Oceania unless they have a legitimate reason.
