Which fictional school is the main setting of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series?

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the main setting of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series.

Hogwarts is a Scottish boarding school for young witches and wizards. Harry begins attending at age eleven and spends most of the first six novels there, while the final book takes the story away from school for much of its action.

The school is divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Students study subjects such as Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and Defence Against the Dark Arts. The headmaster during much of Harry’s education is Albus Dumbledore.

The wider wizarding world contains other schools, including Beauxbatons Academy in France and Durmstrang Institute in northern Europe. Ilvermorny is a North American school introduced in later Rowling material, so none of those institutions is the principal setting of the original series.
