I know Durmstang took students from all over, I wouldn't be surprised if Hogwarts did the same. Otherwise, I think they would have to live in the British Isles.

I've never seen and German students or anything like that at Hogwarts. I think they might take people from the UK or something. I'm pretty sure I've heard both scottish and Irish accents along with English(British?) accents, but no like German or Russian or anything like that

Just looked it up, looks like Durmstang is the only school that accepts students from outside it's general geographic area, so a student would have to live in the British Isles to get into Hogwarts.

Is murder of parents even really a weakness? I'm trying to figure out how that is specifically a weakness in my head. Hell, I had a character of mine once who killed her parents by causing a car crash and I would almost say that benefited her more than anything.

It just doesn't really feel like a specific "weakness" in my head.

Yeah, and his mental state is strong, i would think that would bring mental state down, possibly cause physical strength to suffer as they would not care much about eating right or working out anymore, and myabe even intelligence to go down as hey possibly do not read much anymore caused by grief.

I mean, I guess it depends the person. Some people may just be murderous and not care. But even though it was beneficial to my other character, it certainly did exactly everything you just mentioned to my character, on top of the problems she already have, even if in the long run she probably saved herself by making that decision. It isn't in her heart to kill people, though, so it seriously affected her.

Makes sense though, I mean that is a personality trait, all social groups act and have different mannerisms than one another.
