The lack of Irish characters implies there is a Irish version of Hogwarts.
The English either never invited them to the Triwizard tournament because of history, or there was simply one too many drunken brawls for the Quad wizard tourney to continue.
Yea, but the English were invited, and English sports hooligans are notorious for being one of the angriest, drunkest groups around.
Yeah, but only around the time of sports matches. That makes it predictable, and the anti-hooligan magic can be more effeciently focused. It's actually a little-known fact that Quidditch matches are timed with the solstice so that the anti-hooligan wards are at their strongest.
The Irish are much more unpredictable with their drunken hooliganism, so in the early days they used to break through the wards by accident and go on drunken rampages across Wales before eventually being segregated to their own, smaller island.
Seamus finnegan?
I think you're right, there is likely an Irish version of hogwarts. I base this more on the Irish having their own quidditch team than anything else.
that would mean theres also a wizarding school in Chudley, England.
National team vs regional team.
