Durmstrang is known for placing an emphasis on the study of the Dark Arts. While other schools of magic in the series limit the study to Defence Against the Dark Arts, Durmstrang students actually learn them.

Notable characters

Predrag Bjelac as Karkaroff in the Goblet of Fire movie.

Throughout Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the headmaster of Durmstrang is Igor Karkaroff. Karkaroff is a former Death Eater who got out of Azkaban by giving the Ministry of Magic some names of his co-conspirators. In the film, he is portrayed as an archetypal Russian, with an appearance reminiscent of Ivan the Terrible and Grigori Rasputin; however the books are somewhat ambiguous about this, given that Karkaroff does not have a heavy accent, and was active in Britain during the First War with Voldemort. At the end of Goblet of Fire, Karkaroff flees when Lord Voldemort arises again. In the sixth book it is revealed that Karkaroff was killed by the Death Eaters and found in a shed. It is never mentioned who took over, or whether the school's reputation improved or worsened due to this.
