Orion the Hunter is on the celestial equator, and can be seen throughout the world.
To the northeast of the Hunter is Taurus the bull, to the southwest is Eridanus the river. Lepus the hare is to the south, Monoceros the unicorn is to the east, and Gemini the twins are to the northeast.
Orion is best seen from November to February in the evenings (the rest of the year, it would be in the visible area during the daytime, so it isn't visible).
Witches and wizards in the Northern Hemisphere will see Orion in the southwest part of the night sky, while those in the Southern Hemisphere will see him in the northwest part of the sky.
