Which school does J.K. Rowling’s character Hermione Granger attend in the Harry Potter novels?

J.K. Rowling’s character Hermione Granger attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Hermione first appears as a new student in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The Sorting Hat places her in Gryffindor, where she becomes a close friend of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Her academic ability, extensive reading, and determination make her one of the most capable students in the series.

Hogwarts is a fictional boarding school for young witches and wizards in Scotland. Students generally begin at age eleven and study subjects such as Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and Defence Against the Dark Arts. The school is divided into four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin.

Other magical schools appear in Rowling’s wider wizarding world, including Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and Durmstrang Institute. Those institutions are associated with characters from other countries, but Hermione’s education and main story remain centred on Hogwarts.
