What is the name of J.K. Rowling’s fictional school of magic?

J.K. Rowling’s fictional school of magic is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Hogwarts is the main educational setting in the Harry Potter novels. It is a British boarding school for young witches and wizards, located in Scotland according to the wider Wizarding World material. Students generally begin at age eleven and study there for seven years.

The school is divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. The Sorting Hat places new students into houses, which then function as social communities and compete for the annual House Cup.

Hogwarts is not the only magical school in the fictional universe. Durmstrang Institute and Beauxbatons Academy appear in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, while Ilvermorny is described as a North American school. Those names are sometimes confused with Hogwarts because each serves a similar educational role.
