The Wizarding Schools Map meme originated from an official graphic released by J.K. Rowling on the Pottermore website, detailing the locations of the eleven prestigious magical schools worldwide. Fans quickly pointed out the logistical absurdity of the map, which featured a single school covering the entire continent of South America and another for all of Asia, while Europe enjoyed three. The meme is primarily used to poke fun at the lack of geographic logic in the Harry Potter lore, highlighting the massive commute students would face and the bizarre distribution of magical populations across the globe.
