"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
Siberia is a region in north Asia controlled by the Russian state.[1]
History[]
The 1809 Quidditch World Cup was held on the West Siberian Plain, during which the Attack of the Killer Forest also occured.[2]
Gilderoy Lockhart was inducted as a member of the Order of Air Voyagers for Intrepid Wizards as he reached Ouagadougou, supposedly the farthest most point in Siberia.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
- Ougadougou is in fact an African city in Burkina Faso, which is likely evidence that the document certifying Lockhart's induction as a member of this group was a forgery, as Siberia is a north Asian region controlled almost entirely by Russia.
Appearances[]
- Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film) (First mentioned) (Disc 2)
- Pottermore (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter (website) (Mentioned only)
