Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the North American wizarding school, located in eastern North America in either Canada or the United States. Students of this school, as at Hogwarts in Scotland, may be sorted into Houses.

When Newton Scamander travelled to New York in the 1920s, he met people who were educated in this school.

History
Ilvermorny was most probably founded during the seventeenth century, as the school was at that time just "a rough shack containing two teachers and two students". Native American magic may have been important in the founding of the school.

During the 18th century, one of Ilvermorny ex-students, Dorcus Twelvetrees, revealed to a No-Maj named Bartholomew Barebone the location of the school, among other information concerning the wizard community. However, it turned out that Bartholomew was the descendant of a Scourer, and he revealed all the information he got from Dorcus to the No-Maj community, including Ilvermorny's address. It lead to one of the greatest ever breaches of the International Statute of Secrecy, but also the passage of Rappaport's Law.

By the 1920s, Ilvermorny had been flourishing for more than two centuries and was widely considered to be one of the greatest magical education establishments in the world. In consequence of their common education, all witches and wizards are proficient in the use of a wand.
