Armenia

• Type: Country
• Location: A real-world country in Western Asia
• Owner/Residents: Aris Sapladias (Pottermore)
• Key Features: Not specified within the wizarding context.

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.

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)

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.
