Product Information

At birth, a bird detects children with magic and enters their names in an enormous book. Then, when they turn eleven, they receive letters from the school. The letter also outlines their school’s supplies—uniforms, spell books, wands, scales, telescopes, etc. From there, first-year students are accompanied by the "Keeper of the Keys, Game and Grounds" (which was Rubeus Hagrid during the first novel) to small boats, which magically sail across the lake and get them near the entrance of Hogwarts. The older students ride up to the castle in carriages pulled by creatures called Thestrals. When the first-year students initially arrive at the castle, they wait in a small chamber off the entrance hall until the older students have taken their seats, and then enter the Great Hall for the Sorting Ceremony to determine their House assignments. As Professor Minerva McGonagall said in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, "The Sorting is a very important ceremony because, while you are here, your House will be something like your family within Hogwarts. You will have classes with the rest of your House, sleep in your House dormitory, and spend free time in your House common room." Keeper and Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team [14] [46] and Winner of the Award for Effort. Eventually became Reserve Keeper for Puddlemere United.

Gryffindor's entrance changed locations once throughout the film series. In the first film, the students go down a long hallway to reach the entrance portrait. In the third film, the portrait is located very close to the Grand Staircase. It can only be assumed that this is its location for the rest of the series as the outside of the entrance would not be seen again for the rest of the film series.I won’t keep you long, as all you need to do to find out more about your house is to follow Harry Potter and his friends as I lead them up to their dormitories. Enjoy your time at Hogwarts – but how could you fail to? You’ve become part of the best house in the school."

To transfer the founders’ unique traits to students, the owners divided Hogwarts into four. In addition, each house took on a founder’s name, colors, and mascot. Interestingly, admission to the school is exclusive. Thus, only children with magical talents can attend.The school has twelve teachers who focus on a subject. Few of the subjects are transfiguration, charms, potions, astronomy, and the history of magic. At the close of the fifth year, the school conducts the OWL test.

Theory has it that Rowena Ravenclaw came up with the name of Hogwarts after dreaming of a warty hog that led her to a cliff by a lake.

Slytherin values ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness; the Sorting Hat said in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone that Slytherins will do anything to get their way. The house mascot of Slytherin is the serpent, and the house colours are green and silver. Throughout the series, until the seventh book, the Head of House is Professor Severus Snape. Then, the previous Head of House Professor Horace Slughorn comes out of retirement, re-assuming authority after Snape becomes headmaster. The ghost of Slytherin house is the Bloody Baron. [17] According to Rowling, Slytherin corresponds roughly to the element of water. [13] The founder of this house is Salazar Slytherin. There were two staircases opening off the common room into the Tower itself: the boys' staircase, on which the seven boys' dormitories were located (one for each year) and the girls' staircase, on which the seven girls' dormitories were located (one for each year). In the films, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil's twin sister, is seen as a Gryffindor, while in the books she is a Ravenclaw. Gryffindor is the name of the Hogwarts School faculty in the Harry Potter series of novels. It is in this faculty that the main positive characters of the work of the famous writer are studied. A distinctive quality of the students of this faculty is courage. A special magic hat was responsible for the distribution of students.
