I can't find it right now but people have done the math based on the percentage of Britain's population that's implied to be at Hogwarts at any given time and Uh It's not pretty, dude

No, 1% is a massive overestimate for the prevalence of wizards in the population, it's more like 0.00005% There's like 300 students at Hogwarts and 3,000 wizards in the whole UK, it's like the population of a small town

Replying to @arthur_affect @Hi_Mike_Gorrie and
While this does make Ilvermorny etc. less ridiculous, it does raise all these massive other questions about how there can be a "wizarding world" with its own culture and economy etc. at all

Yeah I do see what you mean, it’s a smallish community but I think the unanimity in that they’ve all had the same experience of going through the same school, brings a sense of unity to the community and allows things like currency and the economy to function

Lol I don't mean how do they all get along without fighting, I mean the exact opposite of that They're not a "country" at all, they're a tiny subculture, there's fewer wizards in the UK than there are furries

Sure But if there were only 11 schools If the community is like 11 small towns, to fill stadiums they'd have to basically make the event mandatory or something

If the division is what JKR said it is then Hogwarts is still absurdly smaller than the other schools because it covers an absurdly tinier area The UK has less than 1% of the world's total population but it's it has 1 out of the 11 total schools

That one school she hasn't given a name to yet that supposedly serves all of Asia minus Japan has to be 50 times the size of Hogwarts

There’s still 3 of the big ones we don’t know about so I’d imagine there’s perhaps 2 for Asia and maybe 1 for Eastern Europe?
