The world in the original Harry Potter novels was merely the tip of the iceberg of the entire wizarding world. Here, the author lists the important locations from official canon. One point to note: the countries and political systems of the wizarding world did not completely overlap with those of the Muggle world. To avoid confusing readers, they would also be listed one by one here:
