Hogwarts

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy is a British Wizarding School located in Scotland. It accepts witches and wizards from England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

## School Location and Information

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is located somewhere in Scotland, near Dufftown. It is on top of a rocky area, and surrounds a lake and forest. Hogwarts is a co-ed secondary school, and attending it is not compulsary, as some people choose to be homeschooled instead. Hogwarts has great security; there are numerous spells and charms cast on the castle so that for a Muggle, it seems like old ruins surrounded by 'Danger' and 'Keep Out' signs. The castle has sloping lawns and fresh gardens, with a loch, forest, and Quidditch Pitch. Facilities in this school include an Owlery. The lake has several aquatic creatures, such as merpeople, Grindylows, and a Giant Squid.

Upon reaching their, first years sail across the Great Lake on canoes. Second years and above are transported across the grounds in carriages. All of the pupil's luggage is brought into their dorms by house-elves. While that happens, first years are sorted into their Houses, and after that, students can enjoy a feast.
