J.K. Rowling revealed the new schools of wizardry in the Harry Potter universe.



An American, Brazilian, Japanese, and African school of wizardry were revealed this weekend at the Celebration of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.

The American school is apparently called Ilvermorny, which channels a subtle vibe of Vermont. This makes sense because everyone knows Vermont is really a wonderful world of make-believe, where pickup driving men in camo live side-by-side with granola-eating, skiing yuppies.

Ilvermorny will be the centerpiece of the upcoming film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which I assume is a reference to neighboring Quebec. Anything speaking French is fantastic, even if it is a make-believe language of grunty, lusty laughs and nasally scoffs.
