French ?[]
Hi ! I've got a question, are you sur for the nationality of Bertrand ? I'm asking because it's never write, well, I think 😅. Yeah, the family name of Bertrand is "de pensées-profondes" so it's in French but we don't know if Bertrand lives in France or not. Maybe, he's Belgium, canadian etc. I'm sorry for my imperfect English, I'm French ! So for questions about France in Harry Potter, I'm here !

- You are correct, the original text does not specify his nationality:
As the eminent wizarding philosopher Bertrand de Pensées-Profondes writes in his celebrated work A Study into the Possibility of Reversing the Actual and Metaphysical Effects of Natural Death, with Particular Regard to the Reintegration of Essence and Matter: “Give it up. It’s never going to happen.”
- I had to remove the 'French' nationality from some Beauxbatons students before as well, since they had been assumed as French just because of their surnames, even though the school takes students from all over Europe, which could also include Belgium, Luxembourg, or Switzerland.
