m (I buy in the point about the image having Swedish mountain views; but not the one about "following the template"; it's irrelevant to subsections or not. Taking in your possible point about unity; the focal point is Sweden, everything else is "others") |

"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. |
Sweden, officially called the Kingdom of Sweden, is a Scandinavian constitutional monarchy in Northern Europe. Sweden borders Norway, Finland and Denmark. Its capital city is Stockholm.[1]
History
Xenophilius and Luna Lovegood believe that Crumple-Horned Snorkacks are native to Sweden and went on an expedition to find them there in the summer of 1996, using the money the Daily Prophet paid them in order to re-print Harry Potter's account of Lord Voldemort's return.[2]
The Swedish Short-Snout is a dragon native to the country. In Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts, Cedric Diggory tried to steal a golden egg from a Swedish Short-Snout during the first task of the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

Behind the scenes
- During Albus Dumbledore's time as the Hogwarts Headmaster, books in Swedish were seen in the Headmaster's Office, namely Bonniers Konversationslexikon, En Ful Flicka - Så Tuktas En Modedocka, and Kokain Nästet.[5]
- It is possible that the annual broom race is a nod to the Swedish national tradition called "Vasaloppet" (lit. The Vasa race). The name come from King Gustav Vasa. Before he became king, he was trying to start a riot to overthrow the Danish King Kristian II who ruled Sweden at this time. One day he thought he was being followed by the Danes and fled on skis from Sälen to Mora, a distance of 90 km, before his followers caught up with him and turn out to be Swedes who wanted to tell him he was getting their support in the quest for the crown. Today the race is held annually on the first Sunday in March.
- Sweden is not known in canon to have their own national Quidditch team, however, there is the Nordic National Quidditch team that presumably represents the Scandinavia region, where Sweden is a part of.
