Durmstrang?

Just a question.

Where do you think the Durmstrang school is based?

Russia? Germany? Hungary? Poland?
It really could be anywhere in Eastern Europe I'm thinking.

Well, I thought Russia rather than Germany because they are more powerful today. The others aren't. I also thought Russia because their outfits seemed so Siberian Reminded me of pictures of Nicholas with his daughters in exile.

Could also be somewhere in Scandinavia.

The book says it somewhere.
I think it was Bulgaria

I think the 'bulgarian' connection is only because of the Quidditch world series and viktor krum is bulgarian.

I thought that too, but I didn't have time to look it up.

I've also been thinking that Durmstrang is a school for wizards (boys) only.
Beauxbaton a school for witches. (girls)

I don't think the books specifically spell that out.... but I believe it is implied.

Bulgaria , I think .

Krum is a Bulgarian quidditch player , remember ?

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....

in the 4th book there r boys and girls from beaux and durm. the idea comes from the movie i think, there u had only "veela" girls from beaux and "muscle" boys from durm.
