I... don't know... J.K. Rowling wrote a neat set of books during the early 2000s, called Harry Potter. These Harry Potter books were fun as they allowed you to emerse yourself in a fantastical world. But unlike a series like Lord of the Rings where J.R.R. Tolkien has so meticulously planned out the entire world most of the worldbuilding didn't even make it to the books, J.K. Rowling has a more "live and let live" attitude to the Harry Potter world, making it very difficult to find consistencies between the larger worldbuilding. Sometimes the Harry Potter universe has 500 million wizards, sometimes 260 thousand, depending on when you ask. So apparently, according to J.K. Rowling, the entire world of Harry Potter has a total of 11 wizarding schools to fit the entire world into, and attempting to divide the world into just 11 categories is a recipe for disaster.
