(Kosovo isn't an official, internationally recognised nation. Under International law, it is still a province of Serbia, therefore albania borders Serbia and not Kosovo.) |

Albania is a country in southeastern Europe. It borders Greece, Serbia, Macedonia, Kosovo Kosovo, and Montenegro.
Magical History
- When Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter, Helena, stole her mother's diadem, she hid it in an Albanian forest. It remained hidden for several centuries, until Tom Marvolo Riddle discovered that Helena was the Grey Lady, the House Ghost of Ravenclaw, and managed to get the information about its resting place from her. He recovered it, and turned it into one of his Horcruxes.[1]
- Following his downfall in 1981, Tom Riddle, now known as Lord Voldemort, fled to Albania in his weakened state. In 1991, he encountered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell, who was gaining first hand experience dealing with dark creatures. Voldemort twisted his mind and subjugated him to his will, allowing him to return to Hogwarts in Scotland.[2]
- Following his failed attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort returned to Albania, where he was discovered by his former servant, Peter Pettigrew in 1994. Voldemort also broke the mind of Bertha Jorkins in Albania after she ran into Pettigrew at a wayside inn, learning of the Triwizard Tournament and setting into motion a plan to kill Harry Potter and return to full vitality.[3]
