J.K. Rowling tweeted about the American Wizarding school that plays a role in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Harry Potter spin-off movie that fans are waiting *very* patiently to see, doesn't hit theaters until November 2016.
The film — which is based on the book written by Rowling — takes place 70 years prior to the Harry Potter story we're already familiar with. It revolves around the story of Newt Scamander, a famous Magizoologist and the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which was the required text for the Care of Magical Creatures course at Hogwarts.

But thanks to J.K. Rowling's Twitter account (aka the gift that keeps on giving), we have a little more insight into the unnamed school of witchcraft and wizardry in America.

When Harry walks through the camp site at the Quidditch World Cup, he saw American witches from The Salem Witches' Institute. Not to mention, in a 2000 interview someone asked Rowling if Americans could attend Hogwarts. She replied, "No, they have their own school. You'll find out in Book 4. Hogwarts just serves Britain and Ireland."
