Which fictional school is attended by Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling’s novels?

Harry Potter attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in J.K. Rowling’s novels.

Hogwarts is the central educational setting of the seven-book series. It is a British magical boarding school where Harry studies subjects such as Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts. The school is divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

Harry’s first journey to Hogwarts occurs in the opening novel, when he boards the Hogwarts Express at London’s King’s Cross station. The castle becomes his main home and the setting for friendships, lessons, competitions, discoveries, and major confrontations with Voldemort.

Other wizarding schools appear in the wider fictional universe. Beauxbatons is associated with France, Durmstrang with northern Europe, and Ilvermorny with North America. They are separate institutions, so none is an alternative name for Harry’s school.
