Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a fictional school of magic that is the main setting of the
Harry Potter series of novels.
__TOC__
Overview
Hogwarts appears to be the only major school of magic in Britain, training people with magical abilities to become fully qualified witches and wizards. Its status is not discussed in great detail in the
Harry Potter novels, but it is known to be a co-educational secondary boarding school taking children from ages 11 to 18. J. K. Rowling initially said there are about 1000 students at Hogwarts;
she amended this number to be about six hundred when 1000 seemed unusually high for such few people in Harry's year.
There are several other schools of magic mentioned by name in the
Harry Potter novels: one, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, is located in France, while the Durmstrang Institute for Magical Study is probably based in the far north of Central or Eastern Europe. The name of another school, the Salem Witches' Institute, suggests that it may be found in North America.
Goblet of Fire also mentions an unnamed school in
Brazil.
It is also possible to study magic by distance learning, a method attempted by Argus Filch, as Harry inadvertently discovered in his second year that Filch was attempting to teach himself basic magic from a
KWIKSPELL correspondence course in beginners' magic.
Management of the school is undertaken by the Headmaster (or Headmistress), assisted by a Deputy Headmaster (or Headmistress). The Head is answerable to the twelve-member Board of Governors.
It is unclear how Hogwarts is funded, or what its fee structure is. In the sixth book of the series a special fund for books or equipment for needy students is mentioned.
Enrolment
There is a magical book located in Hogwarts that lists the name of every magical child in the country. A childs name can turn up in this book at any point up to the age of 11, in some cases the name has been down since birth. During the summer, a teacher (in this case Professor McGonagall) will check this book and send a letter is sent to the magical children in Britain. Acceptance or rejection of a seat at Hogwarts must be mailed by 31 July. The letter also contains a list of supplies, spell books, uniform, and other things that the student will need to bring for use at school. The prospective student is expected to buy all the necessary materials, normally from shops in Diagon Alley, a secret street near Charing Cross in
London. Students who cannot afford their supplies can receive financial aid from the school, as was the case with young Tom Riddle.
Letters to Muggle-born wizards, who may not be aware of their powers or are unfamiliar with the concealed society of witches and wizards, are delivered in person by wizards, who can then explain to the parents all about the wizarding world, and convince them that it's not a hoax.
Each student is allowed to bring either an owl, frog, or cat to keep as a pet while at school. Most students prefer owls due to the fact that they can deliver mail.
The school year begins on 1 September.
Arrival
Students travel to King's Cross station in
London to board the Hogwarts Express from Platform 9¾, arriving at the train station in
Hogsmeade. First-year students are accompanied by the groundskeeper to small boats, which magically sail across the Hogwarts lake. The older students travel up to the castle in carriages drawn by
Thestrals.
When the first year students first arrive at the castle, they do not go directly to the Great Hall for the feast that marks the start of the year. Instead, they must first undergo a very important ritual, The Sorting.
Students at Hogwarts are divided into four houses, each bearing the name of one of the school's original founders. As Minerva McGonagall said in
Philosopher's Stone, "The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your House will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your House, sleep in your House dormitory, and spend free time in your House common room." Following a short speech from the deputy headmaster or headmistress, students line up and wait for their name to be called. One by one, students are seated upon a stool in front of the rest of the student body, and a magical hat called the Sorting Hat is placed on their heads. This hat examines their mind and assigns them to one of four Houses based on their personality and intelligence. After making up its mind, the hat shouts out the name of the House that it has decided, and the student joins his or her Housemates.
Houses
The student body of Hogwarts is divided into four Houses, each named after the wizard or witch who founded it. Because students spend nearly all their time at school with fellow members of their own house, this is a very important part of Hogwarts.
:*Gryffindor, characterised by valour and courage, founded by Godric Gryffindor;
:*Hufflepuff, characterised by loyalty and a hard work ethic, founded by Helga Hufflepuff;
:*Ravenclaw, characterised by wit and intellect, founded by Rowena Ravenclaw; and
:*Slytherin, characterised by ambition and cunning, founded by Salazar Slytherin.
Each of the school Houses has a Head of House who exercises additional pastoral and disciplinary responsibilities over his or her House. At the beginning of the series, the Heads of House are Severus Snape for Slytherin, Minerva McGonagall for Gryffindor, Filius Flitwick for Ravenclaw, and Pomona Sprout for Hufflepuff.
Throughout the school year, the four houses compete to earn 'house points'. As a form of incentive or punishment, the achievements or failures of each student — academic or disciplinary — cause their respective house to gain or lose points. In book one, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Neville Longbottom find themselves shunned by other Gryffindor students after they are responsible for losing a significant number of house points. Points are recorded in four enchanted hourglasses located in the School's Entrance Hall. For each point or penalty a student earns, a jewel matching the colour of the house (red rubies for Gryffindor, yellow topaz for Hufflepuff, blue sapphires for Ravenclaw, and green emeralds for Slytherin) will rise or fall inside the relevant hourglass. At the end of each school year, the points are added up, and the house with the most points wins the House Cup.
The award or docking of points is automatically detected by magical means, and adjustments are made to the display in the relevant hourglass. It would appear that for an authority figure to deduct points, they must announce the deduction aloud, otherwise no points are removed. For example, when Inquisitorial Squad member Montague tried to dock points from Fred and George Weasley, they managed to lock him inside a cabinet before he could say the words, and thus the points were not deducted.
There appear to be no fixed numbers of points attached to specific actions; this number is decided by a teacher on the spot and may vary greatly. For example in book one, Hermione is punished by only 5 points for (as she claimed) risking her life by seeking a fight with a troll, while later Harry, Hermione, and Neville lose 50 points each for simply being out of the dormitory at night. Houses also receive points based on their performances in
Quidditch, such as in Harry's third year.
Terms and holidays
Hogwarts' school year is structured in a similar way to other muggle (Non-magic) schools and colleges in the UK, with a three-term year punctuated by holidays at Christmas and Easter and bounded by the long summer vacation. Students may optionally go home for the Christmas break. Those that choose to stay at the castle do not attend class, and attend the feast on Christmas day. There are normally four feasts per year (Start-of-year, Halloween, Christmas, and end-of-year), though in Harry's fourth year, there was a fifth feast to celebrate the beginning of the Triwizard tournament.
Students also do not attend classes on the week of Easter, but this is much less enjoyable for the students due to the large amouts of work that teachers assign to their students beforehand.
Other then summer, Easter, and Christmas, students do not get days off for holidays, though there is always a feast on
Halloween, and in Harry Potter's second year, Professor Lockhart decided to celebrate Valentine's Day, much to the dislike of the rest of the staff and the students.
Classes
As Hogwarts is a school of magic, students are not taught ordinary subjects such as mathematics and English; It is expected that they have a fairly good grasp on these before they enter school.
First and second year students all learn the same subjects:
*Herbology, taught by Professor Sprout, which teaches students how to properly care for magical plants.
*Potions, taught by Professor Snape, which teaches students all about making potions with magical effects.
*Transfiguration, taught by Professor McGonagall, which teaches students about changing the properties of objects
*Charms, taught by Professor Flitwick, which teaches students about a wide variety of spells such as making objects float.
*Defence Against the Dark Arts, which teaches students how to properly defend themselves against evil wizards and creatures, though the subject matter varies greatly from year to year. The teacher of this class cannot hold the position for more than one year, since Lord Voldemort jinxed the position when he was refused to teach it.
*History of Magic, taught by the ghost of Professor Binns, a very boring class which teaches students about historical events in the Wizarding world.
*Astronomy, taught by Professor Sinistra, which teaches students about stars, planets, etc. and their application in magic.
In addition to these, first year students take broomstick flying lessons, taught by Madam Hooch.
In their third year, students choose a number of additional subjects to take. These include:
*Muggle Studies, where students can learn about the way of life of
Muggles.
*Care of Magical Creatures, taught by Rubeus Hagrid, which teaches students the proper way to deal with magical creatures.
*Divination, taught by Professors Trelawney and Firenze, which teaches students how to predict future events.
*Ancient Runes, which teaches students about the study of runic scripts and presumably dead magical languages.
*Arithmancy, which teaches students about the magical properties of numbers.
Grading and assessment
During their first four years, students need only to pass each of their subjects before advancing to the next level the following year. Regular exams and lessons usually seem to be graded on a numerical scale from 0 (bottom marks) to 100 (full marks) although some students routinely get higher than perfect scores. If a student fails their year, they need to repeat it in the following school year, as was the case for Marcus Flint.
To qualify as a registered practitioner of magic, students must take the compulsory O.W.L. examinations in their fifth year, and may proceed to the N.E.W.T. level, a more advanced exam regimen covering fewer subjects but in more depth, in the seventh year.
Subjects are graded on the following scale:
Passing Grades*O = Outstanding
*E = Exceeds Expectations
*A = Acceptable
Failing Grades*P = Poor
*D = Dreadful
*T = Troll
The O.W.L.s roughly corresponds to the O-Level (now replaced by GCSE), and the N.E.W.T.s to the
A-level examinations used in the English state school system. In order to proceed to N.E.W.T., a student usually needs to have achieved at least an E in their O.W.L.s of the same subject, although some professors (e.g. Severus Snape) insist upon a grade of O. Students who fail their exams or don't make high enough grades continue to take O.W.L.-level classes in their sixth and seventh years.
At the beginning of their sixth year, students speak briefly with their head of house and decide which classes to continue in depending on their O.W.L scores and their goals after school. The classes they decide to continue are considerably more advanced.
Due to the fact that they dropped one or more classes, students in their sixth and seventh year may get several class sessions off per week. But because of the heavy workload that each of their classes assign them, they usually spend these studying and doing homework. At the end of their seventh and final year, students take the N.E.W.T. tests, which examine what the student has learned over their entire stay at Hogwarts. Many professions require high grades in these tests, meaning that students must work very hard to ensure that they pass.
Other staff
Aside from the teachers, Hogwarts has a large number of support staff, including:
*Madam Pomfrey, who is in charge of the castle's hospital wing
*Rubeus Hagrid, while also a teacher, is the school's groundskeeper.
*Argus Filch, the school's caretaker.
*Madam Pince, the school's librarian.
*Hundreds of house-elves, who handle the cooking and much of the cleaning.
Student life
The day begins at Hogwarts with breakfast in the Great Hall. Students sit at their own House table and can eat, socialise, and finish homework at the last minute. At the head table, at the far end of the hall, the headmaster eats with the professors. During breakfast, owls bring in mail for the students; this could be the morning issue of
The Daily Prophet, letters from friends or parents, sweets from home or anything else. A bell signals the start of the first class of the morning at 9 AM.
There are two long morning classes with a short ten minute break in between them for students to get to their next class (the castle is enormous and it is common for students, especially first years, to get lost). After lunch in the Great Hall, classes resume at 1 PM, and there is a break around teatime before another class period. First year students sometimes get Friday afternoon off. In the evening students eat their dinner in the Great Hall, after which they are expected to be in their common rooms for studying and socialising.
The four House common rooms are guarded by paintings or hidden behind walls that require a password to get past. Inside are the common rooms, in which are comfortable armchairs and sofas for the pupils, as well as tables for studying. There are fireplaces to keep the rooms warm, and students relax here in the evenings, or else sit at desks studying. There are notice boards in each common room too, as well as at other strategic points throughout the school. The students stay in their House dormitories while school is in session, which branch off from the various common rooms. Each year gets two rooms; one for boys and one for girls. Each student sleeps in a large four poster bed with bed covers and heavy curtains in the House colours, and thick white pillows. There is a bedside table for each bed, and each dormitory has a jug of cool water and glasses on a tray.
On designated weekends, Hogwarts students in their third year or older, with a signed permission slip, are permitted to walk to the nearby Hogsmeade village, where they can relax at the many pubs, restaurants and shops. There appears to be a good relationship between the school and the village, and the students get along well with the locals. Favourite places in Hogsmeade include Honeydukes Sweetshop, Zonko's Joke Shop (now closed), clothing stores such as Gladrags Wizardwear, the Shrieking Shack (which is rumoured to be the most haunted building in Britain, making it a tourist attraction) and the pub The Three Broomsticks.
Food
The food served at Hogwarts is, according to the students, very good. The house-elves at Hogwarts are skilled chefs, and cook a wide variety of dishes for every meal. The food served at the school is fresh and grown locally; the school has vegetable patches by the greenhouses. The meats and other condiments are probably bought in Hogsmeade village, and the various dishes are prepared in the kitchens directly below the Great Hall and, at meal times, magically transported up so that they appear before the students. Hogwarts food is typically British, although the school sometimes makes exceptions (during the Triwizard Tournament, foreign dishes were served in honour of the visiting schools). The usual beverages (apart from water) are tea, coffee, and pumpkin juice.
Discipline
Apart from losing points from a house, serious misdeeds at Hogwarts are punishable by detention.
According to the school caretaker, Argus Filch, detention meant subjection to various forms of torture until relatively recently, but in present times usually involves assisting staff or faculty with tedious or perilous tasks. Ironically, when, students are caught wandering around the castle at night in book one, for their "detention" they are sent to the even more dangerous Forbidden Forest.
For even more serious offences, students may be suspended or expelled from Hogwarts. Harry Potter comes under threat of expulsion by the Ministry of Magic at the beginning of his fifth year at Hogwarts after he is detected using magic in the presence of Muggles, a serious offence among the wizarding community. The Headmaster Albus Dumbledore argued in Harry's defence, stating that the Ministry has no authority to expel students — such powers are invested in the Headmaster and the Board of Governors.
Professors seem to be able to punish students with relative impunity and can hand out detention, even for unsatisfactory grades. Enforcement of rules outside of class mainly falls to the caretaker, with the assistance of the Prefects. A student's Head of House usually has the final say in disciplinary matters.
During their fifth year, two fifth-year students from each House are picked to be Prefects, which grants them extra privileges and disciplinary responsibilities. There are six prefects per house, all from the fifth, sixth, and seventh year students. The leaders of the student body, the Head Boy and Head Girl, are drawn from the seventh year students, and are usually, though not always, former prefects. Prefects have the authority to deduct points from other students for infractions, though they cannot take points from fellow prefects.
Location and grounds

films]]
Hogwarts is located in a mountainous and secluded region in Scotland near a fictional village called Hogsmeade."Hogwarts ... Logically it had to be set in a secluded place, and pretty soon I settled on Scotland in my mind."
Fraser, L., An interview with J.K.Rowling
, Mammoth, London, 2000. ISBN 0-7497-4394-8. pp 20–21.
The castle has extensive grounds, including a loch, a large and dense forest, called the Forbidden Forest because of the dangerous creatures living there, a number of greenhouses and other outbuildings, and a full-size Quidditch pitch. There is also an owlery that houses all of the owls owned by the school and those owned by students. The castle is surrounded by mountains.
The village of Hogsmeade is used as a transit hub and lodging for visitors to the school, and is the location of the nearest railway station. Hogsmeade is a magical village, and is famous for its Honeydukes Sweetshop, several well known magical joke shops and pubs, and is popular with Hogwarts students, who visit while on breaks from school. Hogsmeade station is reached by a dedicated train service called the Hogwarts Express, which departs from London's King's Cross railway station. On a map drawn by J. K. Rowling for the movie crew, the station appears to be south-east of the school, while Hogsmeade Village appears to be north-west.
Since Apparition is not possible on the school grounds, due to magical security charms, Hogwarts Express is the primary means of transportation to and from Hogwarts. It is possible to arrive by means other than the school train however; by using broomsticks, Apparating to a nearby location and walking in (as demonstrated in book six), or using other magical means of travelling such as Floo powder, and portkeys (book four). All of these methods of entry still require the breaching of the school's network of protective charms and magical barriers, however. The school also owns a number of carriages, drawn by Thestrals, which bring students from Hogsmeade station to the school. First-year students, after arriving at the Hogsmeade station by the Hogwarts Express, traditionally cross the lake by boat to reach the castle, while the rest of the students are taken by the Thestral-drawn carriages. The carriages pass through enormous gates flanked by winged boars, and then ramble up a curving drive to the main entrance of the castle, passing the loch on their way. After the students have entered the campus, the gates are locked and stringent security measures are reinstalled, as Harry found when he arrived late in Half-Blood Prince
.
The school is enchanted to repel Muggles (non-magical people), to whom Hogwarts appears to be an old ruin with a sign reading 'Keep Out'. Electronic devices do not work in the grounds of Hogwarts.left films]]
History
Early history
Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by two wizards and two witches: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff. These four were among the most celebrated European wizards and witches of the age, and they personally trained all their students. As time went on Hogwarts grew in size as more and more students enrolled.
Slowly, cracks began to appear among the four professors. Salazar Slytherin wanted to admit only pure-blood students (students born in families consisting solely of persons with magical abilities), but the other three founders disagreed. Slytherin distrusted half-bloods (only one magical parent) and Muggle-borns (no magical parents) because of the widespread persecution of magic users at the time. Arguments broke out among the founders. Slytherin then secretly built the Chamber of Secrets and left. When an eventual successor, the Heir of Slytherin, returned to the school, he or she would be able to open the Chamber, unleash a horrible
Basilisk, and purge the school of all non-pureblood students. The only descendant known to have discovered the Chamber is Tom Riddle, who later came to be known as Lord Voldemort.
Middle history
Little information is given in the Harry Potter novels about the history of Hogwarts after its foundation, at least prior to the 1940s.
About three hundred years after the school was founded, the Triwizard Tournament began between the three most prestigious Magical schools in
Europe: Hogwarts,
Beauxbatons, and
Durmstrang. This Tournament was considered the best way for wizards of different nationalities to meet and socialise. The Tournament continued for six centuries, until the death toll became too high, and the Tournament was discontinued until 1994.
Recent history
The existence of the school was threatened twice when the Chamber of Secrets was opened. The first time it opened was in 1942, when Tom Riddle, the Heir of Slytherin and the future Lord Voldemort, opened the Chamber in his fifth year. When a girl named Myrtle was killed, the Ministry of Magic threatened to close the school. Because Riddle spent his time away from Hogwarts in a
Muggle orphanage, he did not want the school closed, so he framed Rubeus Hagrid for the deed, who was then expelled.
In Harry's second year, the Chamber was opened by Ginny Weasley under the influence of a diary written by Riddle (one of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes). The diary allowed Riddle's memory to possess Ginny, enabling him to act through her to open the Chamber a second time. During the summer before school, Lucius Malfoy secretly planted the diary in her schoolbooks, with the hope that she would be caught and held responsible, thus bringing an end to Arthur Weasley's
Muggle Protection Act, as well as purging Hogwarts of non-pureblood witches and wizards. However, Harry Potter discovered the truth, destroyed the diary, and killed the basilisk that was living in the Chamber.
In Harry's fourth year, the Triwizard Tournament was held once more, though with several safety measures in place. Unfortunately, Barty Crouch Jr., disguised as Professor Alastor Moody, cunningly managed to enter Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire under a nonexistent fourth school, ensuring that he would be chosen by the Goblet, an impartial judge. Consequently, Harry became a fourth champion, to the disgust of the representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, as well as many Hogwarts students. Crouch helped Harry along the way, ensuring that he would win, especially in the last Task of the Tournament. Prior to the task, Crouch had turned the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey, which carried Harry straight into the hands of Lord Voldemort. Harry escaped, but Voldemort succeeded in using Harry's blood in a complex spell, which allowed him to attain a bodily form and defeat some of Harry's magical protections.
Hogwarts was also threatened when the Ministry of Magic began implementing "Educational Decrees" in Harry's fifth, as part of a conspiracy to discredit Albus Dumbledore. Dolores Umbridge, the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, was the centre of this plan. With the Educational Decrees, she slowly took control of Hogwarts, and eventually replaced Albus Dumbledore as headmaster. After she was attacked by centaurs in the Forbidden Forest and the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was forced to accept that Voldemort had returned, Umbridge was removed from the school.
At the end of Harry's sixth year, headmaster Albus Dumbledore was murdered by Severus Snape, employee of the school. The headmistress of Hogwarts as of the end of the sixth novel is Minerva McGonagall, in an acting capacity following the death of Dumbledore. Since his death, the closure of the school during the crisis has been discussed with many of the faculty adamant that it should remain open. However, the faculty agreed to follow "established procedures" and the school governors will have the final say. The seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series will determine the fate of Hogwarts School. In a 1999 interview, Rowling said that one of Harry's classmates would eventually become a teacher at Hogwarts;
this implies that Hogwarts will remain open, or, if it does close, reopen eventually.
Coat of arms, school motto, school song
Blazon*
Shield renaissance, Quarterly, I gules a lion salient to sinister Or, II vert a serpent argent, III Or a badger reguardant proper, IV azure an eagle displayed Or, in fesse couped Or scroll with letter H sable, top riband for the name Hogwarts, base riband for the motto "draco dormiens nunquam titillandus".The motto of Hogwarts is "
Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus," which in
Latin means "A sleeping dragon
is never to be tickled/poked." Creator J.K. Rowling said she wanted a practical motto for Hogwarts, since so many schools have vague ones such as "Reach for the stars" — approximately "Continge astris" in Latin.
The school song is sung but once in the series, in
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at Harry's first meal in the Great Hall. Its lyrics are as follows:
:
Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
:Teach us something, please,
:
Whether we be old and bald
:Or young with scabby knees,
:
Our heads could do with filling
:With some interesting stuff,
:
For now they're bare and full of air,
:Dead flies and bits of fluff,
:
So teach us things worth knowing,
:Bring back what we've forgot,
:
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
:And learn until our brains all rot.
The song does not have a set tune; everyone sings the lyrics at the same time to a tune of their choosing. The matter of the song not being sung every year was addressed by J. K. Rowling on her web site. She cites the decline in the singing in recent years to the darker times in the wizarding world. "Should Dumbledore ever suggest a rousing encore, you may assume that he is on top form once more," she wrote.
Possible influences
In interviews http://www.quick-quote-quill.org/articles/1999/0999-familyeducation-abel.htm http://www.quick-quote-quill.org/articles/2001/1001-sydney-renton.htm , Rowling has suggested that the name 'Hogwarts' derives from the hogwort plant (Croton capitatus
), which she had seen at Kew Gardens some time before writing the Harry Potter
books.
Rowling probably settled upon this name for its comic potential, as a rearrangement of the word warthog. She may also have been influenced by the structure of the place name Oxford (Ox-ford; Hog-warts). Rowling sought a place at Oxford University, but was rejected, in her eyes on prejudicial grounds similar to those espoused by "pure-blood" advocates at Hogwarts. Harry's discovery that he is a special child, destined for a magical school, can be read as a fulfilment-in-fiction of Rowling's thwarted academic objective (it should be noted that Harry and his creator share the same birthday).
By coincidence, the name Hogwarts also features in the Molesworth books. The Hogwarts
is the title of one of Molesworth's imitation Latin plays, and Hoggwart is also the name of the headmaster of Porridge Court, a rival of St. Custard's, Molesworth's terrible prep school.
It has also been suggested that Rowling may have found some inspiration from Atlantic College, a real co-educational boarding school in Britain, which is based in the medieval St Donat's Castle.
In the movie Labyrinth
Sarah mistakenly refers to another character (Hoggle) as "hogwart".
Trivia
* The dinosaur Dracorex hogwartsia'' ("dragon king of Hogwarts"), first discovered in
2004 and officially named in
2006, was named such by young visitors to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis in reference to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
