In the universe of Harry Potter is extensive and vast. When the story seems to have ended, J. K. Rowling surprises fans with a spin-off, an extension of the story or some funny fact. A shy book were followed by six, nine films (so far), a work of theater, a theme park, quite a few million dollars and a web that extends the life of the story: Pottermore.
earlier this year, J. K. Rowling pulled a series of texts on Pottermore describing some of the eleven academies with more prestige in the wizarding world. As well as Hogwarts rescues part of the folklore british to give personality to the school, so do the other schools in their respective regions. Pure gold for the fans.
Ilvermory
Pottermore
After Hogwarts, the Ilvermory is the college of the more information you have. Located on Mount Greylock in Massachusetts, it is believed that it is one of the schools more democratic and different from the magical world.
The school was founded by the witch irish Isolt Sayre —who was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin – and the ‘nomaj’ James Steward. The first students were the adoptive children of the marriage and as the only reference that I had Sayre was Hogwarts —school not attended, but would have liked to have— worked in the school had four houses, animal-based magical americans chosen by the four founders. So were born the houses of Thunderbird, the Wampus, Serpent, Horned and Pukwudgie.
The first students were children of native-americans. Ilvermory began as a small granite house, and during the following years, while receiving more wizards and witches was growing up to become a castle. In the twenties of the TWENTIETH century, Ilvermory had as much prestige as the oldest schools in Europe, Asia, South america and Africa.
promotional Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them explains the creation of Ilvermorny:
Drumstrang
WarnerBros.
Of all the colleges, Dumstrang is the worst reputation is, in part, because he came out the dark mage Gellert Grindelwald but most of all because has had periods of dark that has prioritized the teaching of the dark arts. The college is characterized by the ability of their pupils to the duels.
The period of Igor Karkaroff, exmortífago, the head of the institution is characterized by a policy of terror among the students, and because during this period ignited the admiration of some students by Grindelwald, some of them even copied the symbol of the Deathly hallows to impress.
The best secret of this college is its location, just know you are in the north of Europe, and that admits students on the east of the continent.
In the films Dumstrang appears as an academy for males, however, is mixed. In fact, it was founded by the witch Nerida Vulchanova in the Middle Ages.
Beauxbatons
Warner Brothers
The French school of magic also is an old-known to fans of the series, since along with Hogwarts and Dumstrang is one of the participants in the Tournament of the Three Magi. Beauxbatons is located in the French Pyrenees but is attended by magicians and witches of Spain, Luxembourg, Portugal, The Netherlands and Belgium.
Beauxbatons is a castle with extensive gardens, with wooden statues that sing while the students eat. Contrary to what they say the Harry Potter movies, this school is mixed.
Fleur Delacour is one of the students most notable of the college, but also studied there the alchemists, Nicholas and Perenelle Flamel, whose names were affixed to one of the sources of the palace that supposedly has characteristics of healing and rejuvenating.
Mahoutokoro
The Spell Camp
Made of jade, the japanese school of magic rests on the volcanic island of Minami Iwo Jima. This school accepts children from the age of seven years, but it is not until the eleven that starts the internship. Children under the age of eleven must return every evening to the house.
The students of Mahoutokoro wear robes and magic change color and size according to the growth (physical and mental) of the pupils. the Start at pink and by the end, their costumes should be brown. In case of a breach of the laws or to get closer to the sinister magic, the clothing of the pupils will turn white, which is a great dishonor to the college and means immediate expulsion.
students with wands made out of cherry wood are honored by their peers. Of the schools of magic more prestigious, Mohoutokoro is that less students it supports.

somewhere In the brazilian Amazon is Castelobruxo, the institution of magic where they study the wizards and witches of South america. like Hogwarts for muggles Castelobruxo seems to some ruins and to the be colleges contemporaries among the community, magic is still in debate who copied whom.
according To Pottermore, the college of american it is protected by the caiporas, figures sleepers mythology, tupi-guarani, who have a figure of a child with long hair or a child with the head of a fox, and whose mission is to protect forests and animals from hunters.
students of Castelobruxo wear green robes and are especially skilled in magizoología and herbology. They have a program of exchanges with the european schools, in fact, we know that Bill Weasley was accepted to make a stay in Brazil that their parents were unable to pay (you mentioned this detail in The Goblet of Fire).
Uagadu

it Is believed that magic originated in the african continent, therefore, the mages of the college of Uagandu possess extraordinary powers, especially for the transfiguration, astronomy, and alchemy.
Uagandu is the largest of the schools of magic and, probably, the oldest. This school responds to the direction of “Mountains on the Moon”, although the design of the website Pottermore, it is more likely to be in Botswana, south Africa or Swaziland.
unlike their european colleagues, the magicians africans do not need a wand to perform magic, because the wands are a european invention that have been adopted gradually. So, the magi africans can do magic with words and hand movements.
The future students of Uagandu are advised that they have been selected by Messengers Dream they sneak in your dreams. When you wake up, an etched stone appears in his hand certifying the authenticity of the dream.
