Wizarding Schools Around the World ⚜ Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the Scottish wizarding school, located in the Highlands of Scotland. It takes students from Scotland, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The castle is located in the mountains near a loch. The precise location of the school could never be uncovered because it was rendered Unplottable. To Muggles the school looks like an old abandoned castle. Hogwarts was established around the 9th or 10th century and it is considered to be one of the finest magical institutions in the wizarding world. Children with magical abilities are enrolled at birth, and acceptance is confirmed by owl post at age eleven. However, if the child in question is a Muggle-born, or a magical child born from non-magical folks, a professor from the school would come and inform the child’s parents. The school’s motto is Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus, which, translated from Latin, means “Never tickle a sleeping dragon” (x).
