Yes Rita. agreed.
but somehow I get the feeling that Durmstrang is much further north than Bulgaria.

How many high level sports people play for the area where they were born/grew up/went to school?

Incidentally

Sturm & Drang - is german for - storm & stress...
I also think Durmstrang is a play on those german words.

similarly gingobibble is a play on the words 'bimbo giggle' - albeit - initially an un-intentional play on words....
