There is an American school of witchcraft and wizardry in Massachusetts! J.K. Rowling's wizarding world series spreads its wings and has landed to America. Who knows. Maybe there are more schools like these in the other countries.
A new story by "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling was released on pottermore.com, tells the background of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a school located in North America. The Ilvermorny School is founded in the 17th century at the peak of Mount Greylock in the Berkshires.
The story focuses on an orphaned Irish girl named Isolt Sayre, who was "offspring of two pure-blood wizarding families" and a decendant of Hogwarts co-founder Salazar Slytherin. She sails across the ocean on the Mayflower, making it to Massachusetts. Sensing that the Puritans wouldn't tolerate a witch in their midst, she wandered through the wilds, ending up on Mount Greylock. There, she along with some magical beings she resued and a human defector of the Plymouth colony, built a stone home that becomes a school for magic.
Rowling also wrote this American school in a four-part series released in March on pottermore.com. That series and this new short story are considered to be the backstory of the upcoming movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," starring Eddie Redmayne. The movie "Fantastic Beasts" will tell magic in North America in the 1920s, years before the Harry Potter series takes place. This movie is expected to be released in November.
