Hogwarts is a massive, sentient castle hidden in the Scottish Highlands, characterized by its seven stories, 142 shifting staircases, and sprawling towers. Protected by powerful ancient charms that make it invisible to Muggles, the school features a magical landscape including the Great Hall with its enchanted ceiling, the dangerous Forbidden Forest, and a vast Black Lake. Within its stone walls, students are sorted into four distinct houses—Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin—where they live and study magic amidst moving portraits, hidden chambers, and shifting rooms like the Room of Requirement. It serves not just as a boarding school, but as a living, breathing fortress of wizarding history and mystery.

Wise, kind, powerful, eccentric, and often humorous, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Magic. A figure of immense magical talent, having defeated the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. His long, silvery hair and beard, half-moon spectacles, and quirky demeanor hide a complex past and a deep understanding of love and sacrifice.
