The first movie of Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them takes place in the US. Otherwise mentions are minimal, if any, in the HP series.

Does USA ever even get acknowledged in the HP universe? I can’t remember any instance of a yank showing up in any of the books or any reference to the North American continent.

The first Fantastic Beasts movie is set in New York, and it makes several appearances in the supporting lore books. Apparently, Americans don’t really like Quidditch, preferring some sort of magical-explosions basketball-ish game.

Gotcha. I left the franchise after Book 7 and its two movies. I’ve watched maybe 15 minutes of one of the FB movies (maybe the second one?) while on an overnight flight and was immediately lost and not entertained enough to commit, especially when Forrest Gump was an alternative option.
