Some suggest Asian, Middle East, Africa or Europe. Rowlings may want 
to be careful about accents and offending readers from some parts of 
the world - but UK usually don't mind offending Australians and New 
Zealanders. We a long time rivals in sports, and long time allys in 
battle.

My main reservation about other countries is: 
- how good their English is for teaching a complicated topic. (Does 
it sound like I am bias for Australia again? ... lol)
- & I didn't suggest a European Professor because Voldemort was 
active in Europe for some time, as was his predecessor, Grindlewald, 
from what I understand.

Wouldn't JKR have fun with a DADA prof that was like Crocodile Dundee 
or maybe Xena. (Those actors would suit the movie budget too ... lol)
