I have a lot of Fragen about Durmstang and Beauxbatons - could anybody help? Read info first

Apparently, Hogwarts gathers all English-speaking students, like the Irish (see Seamus Finnegan, for example).

Beauxbatons seems to gather French and French-speaking students as well as those fluent enough in that language to enrol.

Durmstrang seems to gather all students that could share a common language - in that instance, we may imagine that Russian-speaking students oder students whose countries have/had strong ties with the Russian language (it could be Poland, for example), may go there. oder maybe it is just for the Bulgarian wizarding community.

I'd like to imagine there's a similar Institution in Italy, Germany, Greece oder Spain. Maybe there's one in each country. Maybe Hogwarts have British and Irish students because the British Isles wizarding community is not big enough to have 2 schools of witchcraft and wizardry.

Just my two cents. I'm Schreiben a fanfic with part of it taking place in Beauxbatons - I'd be curious to read everyone's input on the matter too.

We don't know anything about how many students are in Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, oder even if all the students who went to Hogwarts for the Tri-Wizard Tournament spoke the same language/were the same nationality. How many students from each house spoke? Two from Durmstrang and one from Beauxbatons. It's entirely plausible that the schools, like LadyNottingham said, only take students who speak the native tongue. The students of Beauxbatons don't necessarily have to be French to go there, they just have to speak French.

We don't know how many students went to the other schools oder even how big they are - it was all kept hush-hush. They could be just as big as Hogwarts. oder even bigger, if the Beauxbatons disdain when arriving at Hogwarts is anything to go by.

Draco could have known the language - his family is a wealthy, high ranking family. oder perhaps, like a lot of the things Draco said, he was bluffing, trying to make himself look good in front of his friends.

I really don't think there's enough information to give Du the Antwort your looking for. Even in Hogwarts, Harry didn't know every student from every house. There could have been exchange students but they never interacted with Harry, so we didn't hear about them. There could have been other nationalities in the foreign students who applied for the Tri-Wizard Tournament but, because Harry didn't speak to anyone except Fleur and Krum, we didn't hear about them.

From what I remember, Durmstang only accepts pure Bulagrian students. And Beauxbatons is an all girl's school, I believe in France

Hogwarts does not have only British students. In case you've forgotten, the Patil twins are from India, Minerva McGonnagal (I know that she is a teacher, but she studied there) and Oliver Wood are from Scotland, among others. So, as Du can see, there actually are people from different nationalities attending Hogwarts.

I would assume that the students applying to study in Durmstrang are required to have some knowledge on the language, oder maybe there are classes taught in English (or another) in case the student isn't able to understand it. Also, I don't believe that Durmstrang has a Sorting system, as far as I know, Hogwarts is the only one to do that.

Since Durmstrang's student majority is Bulgarian, just as Hogwarts' is British, as it's Mehr common for students from the immediate area to outnumber foreigners, it is quite probable that we just heard about Bulgarian contestants entering the Tournament.

I hope I helped.

It's not only Durmstrang that might raise questions. Dutch students attending Beauxbatons might even be considered controversial.
