The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is just that: an entire magical world waiting to be explored. Despite this, fans have only seen a fraction of what this magical world has to offer so far. If the Harry Potter franchise was to follow in the footsteps of other major franchises and branch out into the realm of TV, showrunners would have a plethora of settings to choose from.

Aside from the obvious choice of Hogwarts itself, which Hogwarts Legacy is showing can generate hype regardless of the century, there are other Wizarding Schools that could offer fans that warm fuzzy feeling often associated with the original series. Other than opportunities for twists on magical education, there are plenty of modern and historical worldwide locations just waiting to have their magical culture explored in a Harry Potter TV show.

7 Ancient Egypt

The brief mentions of Bill Weasley's time as a Curse Breaker in Egypt and his family's subsequent visit are enough to set the mind racing with the possibilities a TV show set in a magical Ancient Egypt could offer. Any would-be showrunner would have a mountain of cultural history to build upon with magic and religion both intertwined and integral to the Ancient Egyptians.

A series exploring the origins of magic and the roles that wizards and witches played in the rise of this great civilization would provide a perfect contrast to the rest of the franchise set in the relatively modern northern hemisphere. Mysteries that remain unsolved today would be given a Wizarding World explanation and Egypt's central position would allow for contact with unseen Mediterranean, African, and Middle Eastern magical cultures.

6 The British Ministry Of Magic

Founded in 1707, The Ministry of Magic that presides over Great Britain and Ireland has centuries of political drama for a TV show to draw from. Showrunners could opt to parallel real British political turmoil with an emphasis on upholding the Statute of Secrecy or instead focus on the complexity of all the different magical departments.

With spells capable of wiping memories, forging evidence, and placing employees under charms, it would be fascinating to see the Wizarding World's fantasy spin on political corruption and backstabbing.

5 Quidditch In Japan

Quidditch was only introduced to Japan in recent centuries but literally took the country by storm. It is said that a group of Hogwarts students were blown off course, and ended up staying at the ancient Japanese wizarding school, Mahoutokoro, long enough to teach them this new sport. From this moment onwards, Japan never looked back, becoming a serious threat at international tournaments.

A Quidditch TV show or even anime, focusing on the grind from school Quidditch player, to World Cup winner could draw in all kinds of fans. If that isn't enough, a potential show could also rely on idyllic Japanese scenery and a magical culture shrouded in mystery.

4 17th Century Colonial Massachusetts

Salem Witch Trials

Although 17th-century colonial Massachusetts might not mean much to most people, the infamous Salem witch trials it was host to, should certainly raise some eyebrows. On top of secrecy, trials, and death, Massachusetts was also the new home to the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was founded in 1627.

With themes of magical oppression, colonialism, religious tension, and racism, there would be more than enough for TV makers to dive into. It would also be interesting to see a wizarding school in its emerging years as it tries to escape the shadows of well-established greats such as Hogwarts.

3 Uagadou, African Wizarding School

As the biggest wizarding school in the world and home to students from all over Africa, it's not surprising that Uagadou would be perfect for a fresh take on the Harry Potter franchise. The former school of Hogwarts Legacy companion, Natsai Onai, is said to be shrouded in mist atop a Ugandan mountain, promising beautiful visuals.

With Sub-Saharan Africa known for its wildlife, it's easy to imagine a menagerie of magical beasts that even Newt Scamander has never heard of. Furthermore, the students of Uagadou are known for proficiency in Self-Transfiguration with many of them being Animagi, something that could excite younger viewers and families.

2 The Founders' 10th Century Britain

The 10th century was a turbulent time for most in Britain, regardless of magical status. For four soon-to-be famous wizards and witches, this was their home. Though the names of Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin are famous today, they had to start somewhere.

An origin story spanning the breadth of the British Isles and culminating in the founding of Hogwarts could be the perfect fix for a Harry Potter franchise that has struggled on screen recently. With four main characters, each with their own complicated interpersonal relationships, navigating a brutal medieval backdrop that does not look favorably upon magic, this series would have it all.

1 Durmstrang Institute

Harry Potter Hermione and Viktor Krum

If the Harry Potter franchise was set on returning to the halls of magical education and wanted to appeal to a more mature audience, there would be nowhere better than Durmstrang. Though the location of Viktor Krum's former school is unplottable, it is believed to be in the far north of Europe and is home to students from Northern and Eastern Europe.

While snowy landscapes punctuated by blood-red uniforms would make for a cutting image, it is Durmstrang's association and leniency towards the Dark Arts that would retain fans' attention. A possible theme to be explored could be the institute's controversial stance against Muggle-borns.
