Hogwarts is one of the world’s finest wizarding schools, located in a massive castle in Scotland. Hogwarts takes students from all over Great Britain, starting at the age of 11. The students leave school after their seventh year.

The students at Hogwarts are sorted at the beginning of their first year into one of four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The houses are named after the four founders of the school, who established Hogwarts around 990 AD.

Hogwarts is home to a student body of between 300 and 400 students, around fifteen teachers and staff, numerous ghosts, house-elves, and a particularly annoying poltergeist. The many rooms, corridors, staircases, passageways, and dungeons hold many secrets and mysteries from a thousand years’ worth of magical history.

The school motto, which appears on the crest, is “Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus,” which means “Never tickle a sleeping dragon.”
