J. K. Rowling Says "American Hogwarts" Might Appear in <i>Fantastic Beasts</i>

In a recent Twitter Q&A, Harry Potter writer J. K. Rowling—who has so much money, I bet—can you even imagine—look how her skin glows—offered a few hints about certain elements of her upcoming film adaptation of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Among the things hinted at: a possible American Hogwarts.

“A possible American Hogwarts,” you’re thinking. “Now I’ve heard everything!” I know, man. Here’s what she said about the chance that Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne, might run into some wizarding American students:

@jk_rowling @MrBanankartong IS NEWT GOING TO VISIT A SCHOOL IN NEW YORK OMG YES

.@tannerfbowen No, but he's going to meet people who were educated at [name] in [not New York].

Rowling also hinted that the school, which is in [not New York], has a name “immigrant” in origin and [something about Native American culture].

.@loonyloolaluna If I answer that fully it will reveal the location of the school, but you can take that as a yes!

.@loonyloolaluna Oh wait - did you mean the NAME is of American Indian origin? It isn't. The name is of immigrant origin.

And then also something about indigenous magic:

.@loonyloolaluna However, indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school. If I say which tribes, location is revealed.

She also said that Snape was brave:

.@triannamn Snape had his faults, but he was incredibly brave.

This Harry Potter Wikipedia page asserts that Dumbledore’s mother looked “Native American.” If accurate, that would make Albus Dumbledore a gay Native American disabled veteran.

So there you have it!
