It must be an interesting story for the Portuguese to be in a French school while the whole South-American, Central-American, and a bit of North-American continent, all goes to a Brazilian school, also possibly lusophone.

Apparently the Latin American one literally translates to 'wizard castle'

Very weird that neither of them thought, at minimum, one school per country.

JK Rowling fucks me up the most bc it implies that British people have more magic users per capita than anywhere else in the world. You're telling me both China and India, the two largest population centers globally , can get away with sharing one school? Get real.

Assuming that Hogwarts can serve the entire British population effectively (pop of abt 68 mil), then that would mean both China and India need at least 20 magic schools each.

Hell, one school for the British Isles is not enough IMO. You'd think there'd be at least one school for each for the four members of the UK given historical reasons alone....

Anyway, point being, Rowling's world builsing very sloppy and always has been.
