I agree with Anne. It seemed clear to me that, in the film, Beauxbatons
was an all-girl school; Durmstrang, all-boy. That just does not fit with
the way the world exists as JR created it, esp. if (and this seems implied
with the set-up of the tournament) there is no opposite-sex counterpart
to those two schools in their countries.
Steve, I can not agree with your assessment: by showing only one sex
from each school (and not even mentioning any of the other sex left back
on the home campus), the film-makers clearly imply that one is a girls'
school and the other a boys' school.
