We don't really know -------------------- **Let's list the information we have**: - [According to this answer][1], Hogwarts could have a few hundred students. Let's say they have 600, as JKR has said at one point. If we assume that those students are evenly distributed across seven years, then each year should have about 85 students. - Only 17-year-olds could compete in the Triwizard Tournament when Harry participated, limiting it to students in their 6th or 7th years at Hogwarts. - About a dozen students arrived from Beauxbatons: > Harry, whose attention had been focused completely upon Madame Maxime, > now noticed that about a dozen boys and girls, all, by the look of > them, in their late teens, had emerged from the carriage and were now > standing behind Madame Maxime. >—*Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* - The number of Durmstrang students is not mentioned, but could be quite large, since they arrived on a ship. It would make sense for a school to bring *all* their eligible students, and have them all place their names in the Goblet. Note that Hogwarts, for example, did not hold any eliminations among its own students, but rather anyone who qualified could place their name in the Goblet. The Goblet of Fire, after all, is an impartial judge, and presumably very good at determining which students are most suitable: > Tomorrow night, Halloween, the goblet will return the names of the > three it has judged most worthy to represent their schools. >—*Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire* Therefore, the best guess would be that Beauxbatons students probably constitute the entirety of their school's last year, and about half its sixth year (and similarly for Durmstrang, of course). Unfortunately, this leads to the conclusion that Beauxbatons has only 8 students per year, giving a total enrollment of 56. Given that France had approximately the same population as Britain in 1994, it seems exceedingly implausible that they would have only a fraction of the students. We are left with a few possibilities. 1. The delegation was chosen according to talent, and not simply according to who was old enough. 2. France has far fewer wizards than Britain for historical reasons. 3. Students from France go to other wizarding schools. **In any case, 56 serves as a *lower bound* on the number of students Beauxbatons is likely to have.** With Durmstrang, we know even less, because the size of the delegation is not mentioned explicitly. At least, we know that they arrived on a ship, and so could have essentially as many students as necessary. A search for all mentions of specific Durmstrang students brings up only Viktor Krum. **As a result, our lower limit on the size of Durmstrang is 7. Obviously Durmstrang is much larger, but this is the best we can do.** In the films, both schools seem to have about a dozen students. [![enter image description here][2]][2] [![enter image description here][3]][3] [![enter image description here][4]][4] There are at least 15 for Beauxbatons, **which makes the lower limit for school size in the films 70 for Beauxbatons (a bit more reasonable, particularly considering that there may be a separate boy's school, which would bring the total up to 210).** **There also are at least 11 Durmstrang students, giving a minimum school size of 50 or so in the films.** [1]: http://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/59171/why-is-the-intake-of-students-for-hogwarts-so-small-compared-to-the-number-of-wi?rq=1 [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/hxNNQ.jpg [3]: https://i.sstatic.net/kOPrD.jpg [4]: https://i.sstatic.net/tv0gc.jpg
