Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a British boarding school of magic located in Scotland. The castle is in the mountains near a loch. The precise location can never be uncovered as the school is hidden by the most powerful spells possible, and is Unplottable. Spells protecting the castle include anti-Apparation and Muggle-repelling charms, which make the castle appear as an old ruin with a sign that says ‘Danger, Keep Out.’ These spells may be temporarily lifted by the sitting Headmaster. Most electronic devices do not work on Hogwarts grounds.
There are approximately a thousand students attending Hogwarts at any given time.
Students enter the school at age 11 and attend for seven academic years, graduating at age 17 or 18. About 1,000 students are enrolled there.
The current headmaster is Albus Dumbledore, a powerful wizard known for defeat of the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945; discovering 12 uses for dragon’s blood; and for his work in alchemy with Nicolas Flamel. He also holds the designations of Order of Merlin, First Class; Grand Sorcerer; Chief Warlock; Supreme Mudwump; and member, International Confederation of Wizards.
*In no way is Hogwarts or Headmaster Dumbledore affiliated with Pigfarts Intergalactic School for Wizardry on Mars.*
