Asia is a continent in the eastern hemisphere.[4] The known wizarding nations that comprised it were Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, and Thailand.
Magical community[]
The region of Tibet and cities of Jixi and Nanchang in China, as well as the town of Toyohashi and island of Minami Iwo Jima in Japan were known locations that housed the Asian wizarding community. According to Goshawk's Guide to Herbology, there was a wizard in Nepal who grew gravity-resistant trees. The Assyria and Borneo regions were known for magical flora and fauna.[5]
The flying carpet was the main source of magical transportation in South Asia. It was invented in Bangladesh, and was also widely used in India, Pakistan, Iran and Mongolia.[6]
Magical government[]
The known magical governing bodies in the continent were the Bangladeshi Ministry of Magic, the Chinese Ministry of Magic, the Indian Ministry of Magic, the Iranian Ministry of Magic, the Japanese Ministry of Magic, the Mongolian Ministry of Magic and the Pakistani Ministry of Magic.[6]
Magical education[]
Mahoutokoro was the only known wizarding school in Asia so far, located in Japan. It was the smallest of the main eleven wizarding schools.[3] It is not known if it accepted students from regional wizarding nations. It is also possible that Koldovstoretz, the Russian wizarding school, was located in Siberia, the Asian part of the country.
