Discover the Hogwarts Houses 🏰
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or
Hogwarts for short, is a boarding school for children
with magical abilities.
They go to school here for seven years
from the age of eleven or twelve.
There are
four houses at Hogwarts, into each of which
the first-year students are sorted by the Sorting Hat.
"The four Houses are called
Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and
Slytherin.
Each House has its own noble history
and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards.
While you
are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any
rule breaking will lose House points.
At the end of the year,
the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great
honour.
I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever House
becomes yours."
