Magical government

It is governed by the British Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world.

The political boundaries and governance of the nearby island of Ireland in the wizarding world are unknown. Even though only part of Ireland is within the United Kingdom, it may be under the jurisdiction of the British Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world as of 1994.^[1]

Magical Education

Many British wizards and witches attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland. Established around the 10th century, Hogwarts is considered to be one of the finest magical institutions in the wizarding world.

Children with magical abilities are enrolled at birth, and acceptance is confirmed by owl post at age eleven.

Those who do not wish to attend Hogwarts have the option of home-schooling. Durmstrang Institute also accepts British students if they have wizarding heritage, not not Muggle heritage.
