Passionate about magic? Check if you can apply to Hogwarts!
In the 10th century, four of the greatest witches and wizards that ever lived founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Their names were Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin. Each created their own house to represent a personality and skill that they wanted to nurture.
Gryffindor students embodied bravery and chivalry; Ravenclaw, intelligence and wit; Hufflepuff, loyalty and fair play; and Slytherin, the values of being sly and cunning.
Children with magical abilities are enrolled at birth, and acceptance used to be confirmed by owl post at age eleven. Nowadays you just need to order the letter on our website.
