WIZARDING SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD: GERMANY

The German Academy of Spellcraft is a homey little castle located in the Harz Mountains near Blocksberg and not, contrary to popular belief, on Blocksberg. One spring day centuries ago, after a particularly exciting Quidditch tournament, members of the winning team flew to the summit of the Blocksberg and hosted a large party in celebration of their victory. Despite the gathering having happened under the cover of night, their flight was nevertheless spotted by sharp-eyed muggles who went on to make known the occurrence of this most curious event. The castle hosts a domestic kobold, who was let into the academy after a student found it knocking in the dead of night. Its presence, however, sparked some annoyance amongst certain house elves who found themselves devoid of chores to busy themselves with because the kobold had done it all. Every year, a number of beer fountains is erected for the opening feast, with brews ranging from traditional butterbeer to those imbued with magical effects. Muggleborns who are not accustomed to magicked brews often find themselves suffering from unwanted side effects ranging from ever-growing nose hair to talking backwards for an indefinite amount of time. When ovens were constructed during witch trials to burn the accused, the wizarding community took it upon themselves to charm the ovens, thus creating a massive floo network which saved a great number of innocent muggles. Ovens, to this day, are still used as a mode of floo transportation in Germany.

The name of the school is “Blocksberger Akademie des Zauberhandwerks” (Blocksberg Academy of Spellcraft). And only has 3 Houses, each repesent one of the german speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).

Furthermore there is only one possible way to enter the school and that is, like in Hogwarts, with a special train platform on the top of the Blocksberg, (more directions, how to enter will be in your acceptance letter).
