Great Britain

**Great Britain** is a large European island, located to the northwest of the main continent. The island consists of England, Scotland and Wales, which, along with Northern Ireland, make up one sovereign state, the United Kingdom.

## Muggle government

The island is administrated by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the Muggle world, which consists of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland in the Muggle world.

## Magical government

It was governed by the British Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world.

Even though Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom, it was part of the British Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world as of 1994.

## Magical education

Many British wizards and witches attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland. Established around the 10th century, Hogwarts was considered to be one of the finest magical institutions in the wizarding world.

Children with magical abilities were enrolled at birth, and acceptance was confirmed by owl post at age eleven.

Those who did not wish to attend Hogwarts have the option of home-schooling. Durmstrang Institute also accepted British students if they had wizarding heritage, evident by Draco Malfoy telling people how his parents were originally going to send him there.
