Belgium Conjurers by Tom Gallala
A history of magicians and past magical occurrences from the European country.
Belgium, a uncommon and unlikely birthplace of wizards of great power and importance. The country known mainly just for its Quidditch team and their gallant showdown agaisnt Transylvania in the first World Cup. Most of the wizards listed here were thought to have been important muggles in the muggle world though were also wizards such as Jan van Eyck, consider one of the best Northern European painters of the 15th century. Those who are born in Belgium and accepted to schools usually go to the Durmstrang Institute or the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic seeing that it is a rather small country and lacks a school themselves.
Belgium though lacking in population was once known to be the European country with the most pure blood families though throughout history the pure bloods moved to different countries, those with schools, or were hunted down due to their powers and killed in early years when events like that occurred. A few pure blood families still residing in Belgium or were once known to live in Belgium are listed here though some families have requested that the writer of this book not mention them.

Recent discovery suggests that this famous muggle artist was in fact a wizard due to his skeleton in his grave recently unearthed shows him buried with a wand along with paint brushes. It is still unknown if the magic had something to due with his artistic talent and currently wizards are studying his works for magical tinkering. It isnt known either if any of his brothers and the rest of his family were wizards but documents are being examined now that they have reason to believe that Jan van Eyck was a wizard.
