Egypt has come up.  Bill Weasley works there for Gringott's, and it's where 
the Weasleys went on vacation when they won the lottery.  It's also where 
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley went during a Christmas vacation.  Come to think of it, 
it's where the referee for the Quidditch World Cup was from.  And didn't 
Arthur Weasley have some disagreement with an Egyptian about importing magic 
carpets?

Hmm.  There must be a thriving wizard community in that part of the world.

I'm not sure exactly where Assyria is (except in the Middle East), but 
Neville's Uncle Algie brought him his rare Mimbletonius etc. (sp) from 
Assyria.  I read somewhere that the kings of Assyria were noted in their day 
as being really good at herblore.



Just thinking,
