- "Upon the signature of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689, wizards went into hiding for good. It was natural, perhaps, that they formed their own small communities within a community. Many small villages and hamlets attracted several magical families, who banded together for mutual support and protection."
- — Bathilda Bagshot, A History of Magic[src]
They were many villages and hamlets that contained sizeable wizarding populations, typically existing within Muggle communities in secret. Hermione Granger described them as "communities within a community".[1] After the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was enacted in 1689, wizards and witches needed to live in places without attracting the attention of Muggles. Because of this, many chose to move into small villages in numbers, as this allowed them to band together and rely on each other for mutual support. The only all-wizard village in Britain was Hogsmeade, which was located near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
