Design
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a large, known for its jumble of towers, battlements, and hidden passages. It features a vast array of architectural styles, including elements of Gothic architecture, such as pointed arches and spires, and seems to be supported by magic. The castle is surrounded by extensive grounds, including a lake, forest, and Quidditch pitch.
History
Hogwarts was founded around 490 by four of the greatest wizards and witches of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. They each represented an aspect of personality that they wanted to bring out in new students. They also placed certain protective enchantments in place to ensure the well-being of their students, for which reason the castle and grounds had both always been protected with Anti-Apparition Charms.
