The British Empire looted magic just like they looted everything else.
These other schools have to cover so much ground because they're only just now getting out from under Hogwarts' thumb.

Ha I like this idea. The whole Harry Potter series is just like how the Brits view themselves in WWII, taking down Hitler, except even worse because Voldemorte is literally specifically one of them and not just a fellow traveler/rival. Also Hogwarts keeps trying to murder the headmasters of the African and Asian schools

its honestly not that far off an interpretation one of the weirdest aspects of voldemorts grand coalition is that it consists of all the sentient magical creatures who suffer from racism

its weird that Voldemort killed like maybe 100 brits and he's somehow hitler level "take over the world" global threat. The Worst Wizard Badguy of All Time.

I guess I'm used to american movies shutting out the rest of the world but at least our badguys kill like a city worth of people not just a double decker bus

Rowling making up all those other magic schools is tacitly admitting that Voldemort was never going to take over the wizarding world. Imagine a wizard nazi takeover of the British Isles just in time for Brexit.

surely the woman behind banking goblins can handle the topic appropriately. are jews allowed to be wizards in HP? makes me wonder about I/P tensions in the middle east wizard school, maybe it's like a Eurovision situation.

its hard to overstate the extent to which english media class still have a sun-never-sets view of the centrality and importance of their miserable little island. its a high bar to be worse than americans about this, but they somehow not only manage but excel. i once heard an oxbridge prof who'd just said "well is that near delhi? just say that" to someone from bangalore then act incensed when they didn't know where guildford was
