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

She didn't, it's something fans made up to try to salvage this The most she said is that a fair number of students are homeschooled

Which is a retcon, and/or is UK exceptionalism, because the whole damn point of the Hogwarts fantasy is that every single kid with magic potential gets an owl from Hogwarts
