HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a fictional school of magic that is the main setting of the Harry Potter novels by J. K. Rowling. Hogwarts is a boarding school set in a castle by a mountain lake. Although its precise location is not specified in the books, the author has said it is in Scotland.[1] Hogwarts is reached by a train called the Hogwarts Express. No Apparation (Apparating and Disapparating) is possible on the school grounds, although adults seem to show up by means other than the school train; perhaps they use brooms or Floo powder, or simply apparate to a nearby location and walk. The school has strong charms around it to repel "Muggles" (non-magic people). Electronic devices do not work on Hogwarts grounds; there is too much magic in the air. Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is an elderly, white-haired gentleman with a droll (some might say silly) sense of humour and twinkling eyes. He always seems to know what's going on at the school and takes a special interest in Harry. He carries no course load, but formerly taught Transfiguration. Dumbledore was the only wizard whom Lord Voldemort feared. This makes the school a safe haven from his clutches. There are 12 school governors who have the power to suspend the headmaster by voting. Lucius Malfoy was a school governor until he was fired after using blackmail to make the other governors agree to suspend Dumbledore. The motto of Hogwarts is "Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus", which in Latin means "Never tickle a sleeping dragon". J. K. Rowling said she wanted a practical motto for Hogwarts, since so many schools have less pragmatic ones such as "Reach for the stars". J.K. Rowling took the name Hogwarts from a fictional Latin play in a Molesworth book by Geoffrey Willans. The Deputy Headmistress is Professor Minerva McGonagall, rather severe in aspect but respected by the students. She teaches Transfiguration and is head of Gryffindor house. Several professors make up the Hogwarts faculty, each specialising in a single subject (see subjects). Other staff positions include that of school nurse, caretaker, and gamekeeper/groundskeeper. The school grounds feature a Quidditch pitch, the lake, the Forbidden Forest, and at least three greenhouses. Hogwarts is divided into four "houses"; Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

Hogwarts is the school of the wizards and witches and also Muggle-borns alike (with magical skills). This is where they are honed to become strong individuals. They are taught things about magic. They are taught different subjects. Their teachers are also strong wizards and witches with strong powers. Within the school premises, you are protected from Dark Magic and Beings. This is due to Dumbledore's greatness as a headmaster. Also in Hogwarts, you can't apparate (teleport). There are lots of things you need to know about Hogwarts. If you want a full detail, click Here.
