Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry shortened to Hogwarts, is a fictional British school of magic for students aged eleven to eighteen, is the primary setting for the first six books in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Rowling has suggested that she may have inadvertently taken the name from the hogwort plant, which she had seen at Kew Gardens some time before writing the series, although the names "The Hogwarts" and "Hoggwart" appear in the 1954 Nigel Molesworth book How to Be Topp by Geoffrey Willans. Hogwarts school was voted as the 36th best Scottish educational establishment in a 2008 online ranking, outranking Edinburgh's Loretto School. According to a director of the Independent Schools Network Rankings, it was added to the schools listing "for fun" and was voted on. J. K. Rowling says she visualises Hogwarts, in its entirety, to be: A huge, quite scary-looking castle, with a jumble of towers and battlements. Like the Weasleys' house, it isn't a building that Muggles could build, because it is supported by magic.

In the novels, Hogwarts is somewhere in Scotland The school is depicted as having numerous charms and spells on and around it that make it impossible for a Muggle to locate it. Muggles cannot see the school; the castle's setting is described as having extensive grounds with sloping lawns and vegetable patches, a loch, a large dense forest, several greenhouses and other outbuildings, a full-size Quidditch pitch. There is an owlery, which houses all the owls owned by the school and those owned by students; some rooms in the school tend to "move around", so do the stairs in the grand staircase. Witches and wizards cannot Apparate or Disapparate in Hogwarts grounds, except when the Headmaster lifts the enchantment, whether only in certain areas or for the entire campus, so as to make the school less vulnerable when it serves the headmaster to allow Apparition. Electricity and electronic devices are not found at Hogwarts. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Hermione indicates that due to the high levels of magic, "substitutes for magic Muggles use" such as computers and electricity "go haywire" around Hogwarts.

Radios however, make an exception. Rowling explains this by saying that the radios are not powered by magic. Hogwarts is on the shore of a lake, sometimes called the Black Lake. In that lake are merpeople, a giant squid; the giant squid does not attack humans and sometimes acts as a lifeguard when students are in the lake. Hogwarts is a coeducational, secondary boarding school, taking children from ages eleven to eighteen. Education at Hogwarts is not compulsory, with some students being home schooled as stated in the seventh book. Rowling said there are about one thousand students at Hogwarts, she suggested around six hundred, while acknowledging that this number was still inconsistent with the small number of people in Harry's year. She further explained. Rowling has said that Hogwarts is "a multifaith school", she has further stated on the subject, "The only people I never imagined there are Wiccans." In response to the query, "o you think there are a lot of LGBT students in modern age Hogwarts?

I like to imagine they formed an LGBT club," Rowling replied, "But of course." According to the novels, admission to Hogwarts is selective, in that children who show magical ability will automatically gain a place, squibs cannot attend the school as students. A magical quill at Hogwarts detects the birth of magical children and writes their names into a large parchment book, but there is no admission test because "you are either magical or you are not." Every year, a teacher sends a letter to the children who are turning eleven. Acceptance or refusal of a place at Hogwarts must be posted by 31 July; the letter contains a list of supplies like spell books and other things that the student will need. The prospective student is expected to buy all the necessary materials from shops in Diagon Alley, a concealed street near Charing Cross Road in London that can be found behind the wizarding pub, The Leaky Cauldron. Students who cannot afford their supplies can receive financial aid from the school, as happened with the young orphan Tom Riddle.

Letters to Muggle-born witches and wizards, who may not be aware of their powers and are unfamiliar with the concealed wizarding world, are delivered in person by a member of Hogwarts staff, who explains to the parents or guardians about magical society, reassures them regarding this news. Though the school is in Great Britain, its catchment area is the wider British Isles, as Irish students can attend; each student is allowed to bring a cat or a toad. Along with the acceptance letter, first-year students are sent a list of required equipment which includes a wand, subject books, a standard size 2 pewter cauldron, a set of brass scales, a set of glass or crystal phials, a kit of basic potion ingredients, a telescope; the Hogwarts uniform consists of plain work robes in black, a plain black hat, a pair of protective gloves, a black winter cloak with silver fastenings. Each uniform must contain the wearer's nametag. First years are not allowed a broomstick of their own, though an exception to this rule is made for Harry in his first year after he demonstrates an excellent ability as a Seeker in Quidditch.
