Norway is a country located in the Northern part of of Europe. Its capital is Oslo. Norway borders two other Nordic countries, Sweden and Finland, as well as Russia.

The country had its own Ministry of Magic. The country was perhaps best known for the correspondence between Goodwin Kneen and a wizard named Olaf (a Norwegian) in regards to Quidditch, and its learning in Norway.

Norway is a constitutional monarchy.

History

Sometime after starting his work with the Department of International Magical Co-operation in 1994, Percy Weasley received some dragon dung in his in-tray, which he excused during a dinner at The Burrow as having been a "sample of fertiliser from Norway" and "nothing personal". Fred Weasley secretly advised Harry Potter that it had been personal, as he and his brother George were the ones that had sent it.

Magical government

Norway was governed by its own Ministry of Magic.

Magical education

Durmstrang Institute may have been located in Norway.

Magical games and sports

Norway had only one team in the European Quidditch Cup, the Karasjok Kites.

While the Nordic National Quidditch team sometimes represented the country in international Quidditch tournaments, Norway also fielded their own national team.
