India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Myanmar all get one unnamed school even when they have almost half the world's population
Europe gets 3-5 depending how you count it

It's the dunk tank.

The name was probably something along the lines of "removedwangdong" but the editors cut it for obvious reasons.
Itd be pretty sick to have a wizard school that is basically a small city. Hogwarts has ~1000 kids, that school having like 30,000 like an big american college would be pretty cool.
They could have different styles of archetecture for all the buildings and teach a wider variety of magical styles.
Odds are it would produce way better wizards that hogwarts
But yeah this map wasnt so well intentioned. Also there are no french wizards or german witches apparently
Might be humorous if there were a canon story at "school #10" that had a school with 10x+ population and was 10x+ as advanced as the original series
Every school but Hogwarts is just "magic castle" run through Google translate, and all of them are varying degrees of racist. Castelobruxo requires students to wander through the jungle to find it, because it's in the jungle of course.
I love how Rowling dodges the difficult questions like "hey how did the magical indigenous traditions in colonized nations survive and not just kill every cracker in a ten thousand mile radius at some point in the last six hundred years?" by instead just being too racist for it to be a problem.
Given that the first world wizards blindly emulate capitalist society when there's no real need it's coherent to imagine that they helped colonization by waging colonial war against the magical indigenous people
Yeah that doesn't make it look cool but that's an explanation!
The funny part of Castelobruxo (in addition to being named in Portuguese because viva Brasilia I guess?) is that it's Witch-Castle in the sense that the castle is a witch, not that it's a castle of witches.

i feel like a secret entrance that teleports you to something machu picchu adjacent (but is a reconstruction of machu picchu) would be the way to go or something but idk maybe i have a small brain. tie it in with the el dorado shit or something and killing conquistadors and illegal loggers
You've stumbled into the core reason why Harry Potter is still huge: the setting is so full of plot holes, so poorly constructed, yet just interesting enough that you started writing fan fiction that was better than the original, purely by accident.

Mashallah Best Korea is free from Hogwarts brainrot even in the fiction itself
They have Harry Potter in the DPRK.
~~uncritical~~ critical support to the democratic people's republic of korea and their liberatory struggle against the genocidal american empire
It looks like all of Korea goes to the same unnamed wizard school separate from the Japan, Asian, and and Oceanian ones
Honestly gives me Korea is still a Japanese colony in the wizard world vibes.
That they share with Italy for some reason.
A PDF of Protocols of the Elders of Zion would have been less racist than this.
And Better written than the source material.
Wait, I guess I never stopped to think about it as a kid but is Ireland just a part of Wizard UK??? 
Holy shit is this for real? Did Key & Peele actually do a better job of Harry Potter worldbuilding than Rowling?

What about Italy and Greece??
Giuseppe Strombolinni and the suitcase of meatballs
Nice to see that all Koreans study only Juche necromancy.
I wonder if someone told JK that she shouldn't make it look like Korea is part of Japan in her wizard universe so she left them blank
Italy, Greece, Afghanistan, Korea - new alliance just dropped!
The Mediterranean brain pan simply isn't fit for the arcane arts
It's the Vatican
This map implies that the USSR still exists in the wizarding world
And a caliphate
Feels like this was originally mapping racial categories and then the slurs got replaced with schools

Koldovstoretz 
Doktorskayakolbasa
The hell is that name? The f is a 'storetz'?
it's a weird, grammatically incorrect portmanteau of "magic"(Koldovstvo) and "castle"(Dvoretz) that sounds completely alien to anyone who actually speaks an east slavic language
