    HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

 

        Hogwarts School, a co-educational institution, develops the magical abilities in the children who have aptitude for magical studies and. It is a boarding school and provides education up to secondary level.

The age for admission to the school is between 11 to 18 years. The school is managed and run by a headmaster. He is assisted by a deputy headmaster. He is answerable to a board of governors comprised of twelve members.

Students are required to procure their own textbooks, dresses and other study material which is normally available from the shops in Diagon Alley, a secret street near Charing Cross in London.

        Letters bearing the offer of admission to the potential wizards and witches who were born in Muggle were hand delivered in person by the wizards. The visiting faculty of wizards explains to the parents of the children about the existence of a magical society.

Each student is permitted to bring an owl, a toad or a cat to keep as pet during his stay at the school. Many students prefer to bring owls, as they are good at delivering the messages by post. In exceptional cases, some other pets may also be allowed.

HOGWARTS EXPRESS

     The Hogwarts Express is the name of the train that makes a run between London, King's Cross Station Platform 9¾ and Hogsmeade Station. It makes this run at about six times a year, and probably more often than that, as needed. It carries students to Hogwarts Castle at the start and end of every term. The train leaves Platform 9¾ without fail on 1 September at 11 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Hogsmeade Station in the early evening. Most students take the train back to King's Cross Station to go home for the Christmas and Easter holidays. It also makes the run back again to London at the end of term in June.

QUIDDITCH BALLS

     QUAFFLE -  is spherical in shape (although it is shown with four large dimples in the films, appearing more as a tetrahedron), bright red in color, and approximately 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter, and about the weight of a footbball but hollow. It is explained in Quidditch Through the Ages that the Quaffle is enchanted to fall very slowly through the air when dropped to prevent players having to continuously dive to retrieve it. The backstory of Quidditch explains that the red color was instituted to create a stronger contrast between the Quaffle and mud. The Quaffle is also enchanted to make it easy to grip with only one hand. There is only one quaffle, unlike the bludgers. If the chaser throws it through the hoop they score 10 points for their team.

  BLUDGER - are round, jet black balls, made of iron. A Bludger is 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter. They are described as being bewitched to fly without any visible means of propulsion, although they do retain inertia, which makes them unable to change speed or direction swiftly. Their purpose in the game is to be an obstacle: they fly around attempting to knock players off their brooms indiscriminately, it is the Beater's job to protect their teammates from the Bludgers and at the same time aim them towards the opposing players.

 THE GOLDEN SNITCH - often referred to as simply the Snitch, is a small golden ball the approximate size of a walnut (roughly 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter), developed by Bowman Wright (1492–1560). In the films, the wings on the Snitch are gold, although in the books it is described as having silver wings. The winged Snitch is enchanted to hover, dart, and fly around the pitch, avoiding capture while remaining within the boundaries of the playing area. Each team has a designated Seeker (most seekers are the lightest, fastest, and smallest players on their team), whose only task is to capture the Snitch. The seeker who catches the Snitch scores 150 points, and strictly speaking, only the capture of the Snitch will end the game

QUIDDITCH PLAYERS

         Each team is made up of seven players, consisting of three Chasers, two Beaters, one Keeper and one Seeker.

         The Chasers progress up and down the pitch passing the Quaffle by hand amongst themselves while keeping it away from the other team, in an attempt to score goals by throwing it through one of their opponent's three goal hoops which scoring 10 points. In this respect, the game is similar, as Harry suggests in the first book, to "basketball on broomsticks with six hoops".

         The Keeper will protect the three goal hoops, in much the same way as a goalkeeper in association football.

         The Beaters are armed with wooden clubs that are similar to, but shorter than, baseball bats. They are tasked with protecting their team-mates and the seeker (mainly) from the Bludgers by knocking these balls off course or towards opponents.

         Finally, the Seeker, usually the lightest member of the team and equipped with the fastest broom, is tasked for searching for and capturing The Golden Snitch. Seekers are the only players permitted to touch the Snitch. The seekers, like Harry Potter, are usually small, agile, and stealthy.

        Each team includes a captain, who may play any of the four roles. The captain helps the team practice and chooses the team players after the tryouts.

• HOGWARTS GHOSTS

       THE BLOODY BARON is the Slytherin House ghost. He is the only person besides Dumbledore and Fred and George Weasley who can exert any control over the poltergeist Peeves; Peeves is terrified of him for some unknown reason, referring to him as "Your Bloodiness" and "Mr. Baron."

    

      THE FAT FRIAR  is the Hufflepuff House ghost. He is a jolly man and very forgiving.

         THE GREY LADY is the Ravenclaw House ghost.

      NEARLY HEADLESS NICK is the Gryffindor House ghost who in life was sentenced to death by beheading after a teeth-straightening spell went awry on Lady Grieve.

•    HOGWARTS FONDERS

   

      GODRIC GRYFFINDOR  is said to have praised courage, determination, and strength of heart above all other qualities. He also was the most in favour of allowing Muggle-borns into the school. He was initially a close friend of Salazar Slytherin, but over time their friendship deteriorated. "One of the four famous Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Godric Gryffindor was the most accomplished dueller of his time, an enlightened fighter against Muggle-discrimination and the first owner of the celebrated Sorting Hat."

        HELGA HUFFLEPUFF  she favoured loyalty, honesty, and dedication. In Goblet of Fire, she is said to have considered "hard workers most worthy of admission". Elsewhere, she is described as taking "all the rest" of the students after selection by her colleagues. She was a good friend of Rowena Ravenclaw; their friendship is used to emphasise the failed friendship between Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin.

         ROWENA RAVENCLAW  was a witch noted for her cleverness and creativity, and was described by Xenophilius Lovegood as beautiful.

  

       SALAZAR SLYTHERIN  is described as power hungry by the Sorting Hat, and was known as "shrewd Slytherin from fen". One of the four celebrated Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Salazar Slytherin was one of the first recorded Parselmouths, an accomplished Legilimens, and a notorious champion of pureblood supremacy.
