Hogwarts / Harry Potter

The characters in the portraits hanging in Hogwarts can move around, visit, and even visit other portraits of themselves in other parts of the world.

The boys live separately from the girls, each in their own dorm. When attempting to get into the women's section of the castle, the staircase turns into a slide, making it impossible to climb.

The Hogwarts motto in Latin is Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus, which translates to "Never tickle a sleeping dragon."

Muggle technology doesn't work on the Hogwarts grounds. The high concentration of magic causes any equipment to simply malfunction. No one knows exactly how many secret rooms and passages there are in Hogwarts. According to Dumbledore, "there was no soul, living or dead, who knew all the secrets of the castle."

The school has 142 staircases, each moving unpredictably. Some of them can even disappear. The school is hidden from the eyes of Muggles—ordinary people.

The exact location of Hogwarts is unknown, and if anyone were to find it, they would only find ruins and a sign warning them to stay away.

Subjects studied include Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, and others.

Hogwarts is an ancient castle located in a secluded highland area in Scotland. The grounds include a mountain lake, the Forbidden Forest, greenhouses, a Quidditch pitch, and other auxiliary buildings.

Hogwarts is the only school of magic in Great Britain.

The name translates from wizarding language as "boar" or "warthog." The school is run by a headmaster and deputy headmaster. At the beginning of the story, the headmaster is Albus Dumbledore, and his deputy is Minerva McGonagall.

It was founded around the 10th century by four distinguished witches and wizards: Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Penelope Hufflepuff. The school's houses are named after them.

The four houses of the school, into which students are selected based on character, are named after their founders: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Sorting is done by the Sorting Hat. Houses compete for the House Cup, with points awarded for academic achievement and discipline.

The school accepts children aged 11 and over who possess magical abilities. As soon as a child begins to display magical powers, their name is immediately inscribed in a special Access Book with the Pen of Admission.

Education begins at age 11 and lasts seven years. Exams are taken at the end of each year, but the most important exams are those at the end of the fifth (OWL) and seventh (ZHABA) years of study.

The founders' goal is to educate and raise children with magical potential.

Tuition is free, but students usually purchase books and school supplies themselves. There is a special fund for purchasing textbooks and supplies for low-income students.

Subjects studied include Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, and others.
