Hogwarts



Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a British boarding school of located in Scotland. The exact co-ordinates of the school are unknown, powerful protection given to the school enables it to be unplottable. Spells protecting the castle include anti-apparation and Muggle-repellant charms, which make the castle appear as an old ruin with a sign that says 'Danger, Keep Out.' These spells may be temporarily lifted by the sitting Headmaster.
 * "The finest school of witchcraft and wizardry in the world"

Most electronic devices do not work at Hogwarts due to the strength of the magical field.

There are approximately a thousand students attending Hogwarts at any given time.

Houses

Hogwarts students are divided into four Houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Each house is founded on different principals, all of which were attributed to them from their founders.

Griffindor's gave his namesake to a house that valued bravery and daring over all other traits.

Ravenclaw valued students of knowledge and questioning for her house.

Slytherin took the pure of blood and most cunning to mold them into the best.

Hufflepuff, the wonderful woman, decided she'd take the rest.
