Beauxbatons Academy of Magic ,
- Founded in 1216 by Jacques Dupont.
- Previous Headmistress Olympe Maxime retired eight years ago in 2015 and was replaced by Thérèse Clairoux who had taught Potions at Beauxbatons for 23 years beforehand.
- Unlike Hogwarts and Durmstrang, Beauxbatons is a palace and not a castle. It is located near the city of Cannes in southern France and is unplottable.
- Their Coat of Arms is two golden wands crossed over one another, each shooting three stars.
- Students (both male and female) attend Beauxbatons between the ages of 9 and 18. They take their exams (similar to O.W.L.s) when they are 15, and again when they are 18.
- The food at Beauxbatons is lighter than the food served at Hogwarts and while the staff and students dine they are serenaded by choirs of wood nymphs.
- During Christmas time, the dining halls is decorated with great, non-melting ice sculptures.
- Beauxbatons uniforms are made of a light blue silk and all students are to look their best at all times.
Previous students include:
- Adélaïde Lamoureux
- Isabella O'Malley
- Émi Lamoureux
- Gabe Proveaux
- Matthieu Lamoureux
- Renée Dupuis
- Annabel Hewer
