Hungary was a landlocked country in Central Europe. It was situated in the Carpathian Basin and was bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine and Romania to the east, Serbia and Croatia to the south, Slovenia to the southwest and Austria to the west.
History
An issue of Transfiguration Today published in 1926 featured an article that examined the implications that the ancient myths of the Transdanubia region of Hungary held for the modern practice of transfiguration.[1]
The Hungarian National Gobstones Team lost to the Welsh National Gobstones Team at the Gobstones Tournament in 1998.[2]
Mountain trolls were reported to be riding graphorns through Hungary in 2020.[3]
Magical beasts
Hungary was home to the dragon breed the Hungarian Horntail.[4]
Behind the scenes
- Transylvania is known to have competed in the 1473 Quidditch World Cup. Historically, this region was part of the Kingdom of Hungary at the time, even though it is seemingly mentioned as an independent country in canon (whether this is the case in wizarding jurisdictions is unknown).
