Zweinstein's hoge school voor hekserij en hocus pocus is Harry Potter's school.

Het kasteel bestaat uit zeven verdiepingen en heeft verschillende torens (waaronder de Uilenvleugel en de Astronomietoren). Het kasteel staat in Schotland, maar is met zoveel toverkracht omgeven dat geen enkele dreuzel (niet-tovenaar) het kan vinden. Er is onder meer een bibliotheek, een aantal klaslokalen, een grote binnenplaats, een tuin en een grote eetzaal (de Grote Zaal) met een hoog plafond, waarin vijf lange houten tafels staan. Op het terrein bevinden zich verder het Verboden Bos, een zwerkbalveld, een groot meer, het huisje van Hagrid en drie kassen. De schoolkinderen zijn verdeeld in vier afdelingen, die elk hun eigen slaap- en woonvertrek hebben in het kasteel. De afdelingen zijn Griffoendor, Huffelpuf, Ravenklauw en Zwadderich. Elke afdeling heeft zijn eigen karakter, en er is veel competitie tussen de vier.

 Hogwarts High School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter's school.
The castle consists of seven floors and has various towers (including the Owls Wing and the Astronomy Tower). The castle is in Scotland but is surrounded with so much magic that no Muggle (non-wizard) can find it. There's include a library, several classrooms, a large courtyard, a garden and a large dining room (the Great Hall) with a high ceiling, where five long wooden tables stand. On the grounds are also the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch, a large lake, the cottage Hagrid and three greenhouses. The school is divided into four sections, each with its own bedroom and living room in the castle. The departments are Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each department has its own character, and there is much competition between the four.
