DURMSTRANG INSTITUTE

Hello and welcome, fellow students! Here you will discover what House you belong in and start your journey as a pupil of Durmstrang Institute. Before you can take the quiz to find your House, let us go through what significance the creators of Durmstrang had on our school and understand the meaning of each of our Houses. Without further ado, let us begin!


Durmstrang History:

Created in the Middle Ages and located in Scandinavia, Nerida Vulchanova, a medieval witch at the time, founded Durmstrang and became the first Headmistress of the school. After her death, Harfang Munter became the first Headmaster of the school and emphasized the importance of learning Dark Arts and martial magic. Durmstrang was then recognized for their strict form of education and no acceptance of muggle-borns into the school. While the school was successful in providing an excellent education, there had been disputes over the clash of personalities in the student groups during classes and school hours. It wasn't until the unity of four remarkable students when the Durmstrang Houses were created.
