WIZARDING SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD: GREECE
Jul. 4th, 2015 06:20 amThe Greek Institute for Advanced Magic is tucked away on a remote, rugged island where the beach meets gorgeous turquoise waters. It is the transfiguration capitol of the wizarding world, with the highest population of Animagi dwelling in the community. Greece is also one of the few countries to recognize centaurs as beings rather than beasts in honour of Chiron, and the school employs a number of them as professors and assistants. Students have a wealth of information at their hands: the cavernous library of the school contains rows upon rows of scrolls and formulas collected over hundred upon thousands of years. There are classes for amulet studies, curse casting, theurgic and goetic magic, and even extended research of love potions and enchantments. According to legend, the ghosts of Orpheus, Pythagoras, and Empedocles have been sighted on school grounds, usually wandering about by the water, and it is said that those who see them are bound to pass their next examination with flying colours.
