Hogwarts Fun Facts

In the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, there are 4 houses: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Each student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is sorted into a house based on their personality. Those who are brave represent Gryffindor, the smartest go-to Ravenclaw, the kindest in Hufflepuff, and the cleverest in Slytherin. And while the sorting itself may be fun, being in a House is even more fun! Check out these fun facts to learn more about Hogwarts and the Houses:

  • Each Hogwarts House has a mascot: the Gryffindor Lion, Ravenclaw Eagle, Hufflepuff Badger, and Slytherin Snake.
  • The entrance to the Hufflepuff Common Room is behind a pile of barrels, which you must knock and tap the rhythm of “Helga Hufflepuff” on before entering.
  • Each House has its own ghost: Slytherin has the Bloody Baron, Hufflepuff the Fat Friar, Ravenclaw the Grey Lady, and Gryffindor has Nearly Headless Nick.
  • There are no boys allowed in the girls' dormitories of any House. If you try to climb the stairs to a dormitory you don’t belong in, the stairs will magically turn into a slide and whisk you away!
  • There are 142 staircases in Hogwarts.
  • The Great Hall’s ceiling is enchanted to look like the sky.
  • Hogwarts is located in the Highlands of Scotland.
  • Muggles (or non-magical folks) cannot see Hogwarts. Instead of a gorgeous castle, they’ll see ruins and a sign saying “Keep Out!”
  • The Hogwarts school year always begins on September 1st.
  • The school’s motto is “Never tickle a sleeping dragon” (or “Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus” in Latin).
