Why, OP? The wizarding world is much smaller than the muggle one. Therefore there are fewer children to be educated.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but my only problem with this argument is this: I can accept that the wizarding population is very small. However, I can't quite bring myself to believe that there would be enough students just from Great Britain alone to populate a school, if said population was really so small that 11 schools would be enough. Just. There's one school for Great Britain, and then ten for the entire rest of the world?? That doesn't seem to make much sense, population-wise, unless there are a whole lot more wizards in Britain than elsewhere.

Not all countries use the boarding school model for the age demographic of Hogwarts. Maybe they have smaller day schools where wizarding populations are concentrated.

nayrt

Good point. Unless there's a higher occurrence of wizards in the UK, it makes more sense to have more schools and to have their locations based on population density. Africa gets ONE? Ridiculous. Likewise, surely China has 2-3 at least, ditto India and the U.S. And what about South America? Canada? If it's tradition for schools to mostly accept only students from that country, then doesn't it make more sense for every country to have a school?

... okay, I'm beginning to see what the OP is on about.

I mentally wrote it off by assuming that some areas were more intrinsically magical than others. Magic is weird, after all, so it doesn't seem that incongruous.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, magic is weird, but the process of how magic users are created seems pretty pedestrian. Like I said, unless the argument is that the people of X country have an inherently lower birthrate of people with magical powers and therefore a much smaller population, it doesn't make sense for there to be so few wizardry schools in the world.

Rowling's viewpoint is fairly Eurocentric, but that's not surprising.
