About This World
The wizarding world exists hidden in the cracks of the ordinary one: its pubs are concealed behind Muggle façades, and its government is buried below London. Hogwarts sits in the Scottish Highlands, disguised by powerful enchantments. The school is organized into four houses: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff. The castle itself is alive in a way that defies simple architecture: rooms appear and disappear, and staircases lead somewhere different on Tuesdays.
