There are more Witchcraft/Wizarding schools around the world. In the Continental US, there will be one in Salem, MA, San Francisco, CA, Williamsburg, VA, Forks, WA, Keystone, CO, and New Orleans. Every Amtrak station would be a point of entry, though Union Station in DC and Penn Station in NYC would be big points of entry for the schools in

With the New Orleans location, it can be ripe for some fanfiction that crosses over our own Muggle politics (BP oil spill anyone?) with the Wizarding world. Already I was imagining American merpeople going over the to Ministry in Britain to have a world with Hermione in an emergency meeting. (I think Rose and Hugo would be five and three, respectively, in 2010.) And then the year ends early in spring 2010 for the oil spill, and wizards get hard at work. The Muggle-borns suddenly become very active in hating on BP, and many of their parents got affected...oh the places I could go with this!
Hmmm, you're right. What about Culpeper, VA for the other East Coast school? And instead of SF, how about Forks, WA? XD

Hawaiians going to Tahiti for school makes no sense to me, considering that Tahiti is part of French Polynesia which is a French collectivity. I could understand placing the schools for geographic reasons (even so, it would make more sense for the Hawaiians to stay where they are; Hawaii may be a part of the Oceania region... how the heck are they going to go about transporting students?) but politically, no.

ETA: Hawaiians go to school in Moloka'i.

She mentioned it in book 4, Salem Institute for Witches (but I maintain it's coed!). American wizards and witches are mentioned in Quidditch through the Ages too. So are the Middle East and India, and Parvati and Padma are pureblooded Maharashtrian Indians, so yeah.
