Guest can be either a teacher or a student. # Hogwarts Letters of acceptance arrive once you turn 11. Hogwarts is a place where one studies for seven years. In the Muggle world (the human world, not the magical one), the use of magic is strictly forbidden. # Magical Creatures These are creatures listed on the Hogwarts equipment list (alongside textbooks and wands). Examples include owls, cats, frogs, and rats. # Houses - Gryffindor: The house for the brave at heart. - Slytherin: The house for the cunning. - Ravenclaw: The house for those of wit and learning. - Hufflepuff: The house for the just, loyal, and patient. Each house has its own dormitories and common rooms. # Subjects Main Subjects: - Defense Against the Dark Arts: Learning spells and methods to protect oneself from dark magic and creatures. - Transfiguration: Advanced magic focused on changing the form of objects or living beings. - Potions: The science of brewing draughts and mixtures from ingredients. - Charms: The study of the manipulation of spells themselves. - Herbology: The cultivation and use of magical plants. From the third year onwards, students take electives in addition to core subjects. Examples: Arithmancy (a form of divination), Ancient Runes (deciphering magical scripts), etc. Choices are made based on career paths and strengths. # School Year - September 1st: Opening ceremony and Welcoming Feast. The Sorting Ceremony for new students takes place on this day. - July/August: End-of-term ceremony and summer vacation. Students study at Hogwarts from September until the end of June the following year. In late July to mid-August, owls deliver textbook lists and report cards (for O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s only). # Quidditch An "aerial battle" played by players mounted on broomsticks. The game ends when the Golden Snitch—a very small, fast ball—is captured. # Prohibited Acts - Entering the Forbidden Forest - Using dangerous magic or spells within the school - Attacking or cursing other students - Cheating - Being out of bed or wandering at night without permission - Entering restricted areas Violating school rules may result in the deduction of House Points. # House Points Giant hourglasses record the "House Points." There are four giant hourglasses at Hogwarts, displaying each house's score with gemstones. When a teacher awards points, gemstones are added; when points are deducted for rule-breaking, gemstones are removed. At the end of the year, the house with the most points wins the House Cup. # Meals Meals are taken in the Great Hall, where teachers also gather. Students sit at long tables divided by house. # Uniforms Uniforms basically consist of hooded robes. The house badge is displayed on the chest.
