Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a British wizarding boarding school teaching the magical arts, located in Scotland inside Hogwarts Castle. The castle is in the mountains near a loch. The precise location of the school can never be uncovered because it has been rendered Unplottable.
Established in c. 9th/10th century, Hogwarts is considered to be one of the finest magical institutions in the Wizarding world, though other notable schools include Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, the Durmstrang Institute, and the relatively new Salem Witches Institute of Magic. Children with magical abilities in the United Kingdom and Ireland are enrolled at birth and acceptance is confirmed by Owl post at age eleven. Attendance is not mandatory.
