=====Description and History=====
Armenia is a real-world [[country]] located in the Caucasus region. Its only known connection to the [[Wizarding World]] is as the homeland of the wizard [[Aris Sapladias]]. This information is not found in the original novels but comes from supplementary material written by [[J.K. Rowling]]. (Pottermore)
The country enters the lore through the historical accounts of the medieval [[Knight]], [[Sir Cadogan]]. His adventures brought him into contact, and conflict, with at least one wizard from Armenia.
=====Role in the Story=====
Armenia is not mentioned in the seven-book series. Its significance is limited to providing background lore for [[Sir Cadogan]], whose [[portrait]] guards the [[Gryffindor Tower]] in //Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban//.
According to a boast by [[Sir Cadogan]], he once engaged in a duel with the Armenian wizard [[Aris Sapladias]]. The cause of their conflict was the [[Wyvern of Wye]], a fierce beast that both wizards were apparently trying to vanquish. This anecdote serves to flesh out [[Sir Cadogan]]'s character as a comically boastful but historically adventurous figure. (Pottermore)
=====Behind the Scenes=====
The sole reference to Armenia in the [[Harry Potter]] universe originates from an original writing by [[J.K. Rowling]] published on the Pottermore website. In the novels, while [[Sir Cadogan]]'s eccentric and chivalrous nature is established, the specific details of his past exploits, including his duel with an Armenian wizard, are not mentioned.
