What will undoubtedly help young customers to immerse themselves in the world
Hogwarts is the fact that the novel does not specify where Hogwarts is located. Text only suggests that this is a place in England, away from London a few hours away by train (the train reaches its destination at dusk “) 12 In fact, it can be everywhere (and nowhere) in the UK (but probably somewhere in the north. Because of its indeterminacy, on the one hand makes Hogwarts unreal place, on the other hand makes these events and issues happening there, are assuming greater importance more universal.
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has its own thousand-year tradition. Was
Founded by the legendary wizards, whose names are assigned individual
Houses: Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, Gryffindor and Rowena Godryka
Ravenclaw. It is designed for those who wish to study magic (and are
wizards), and protected from the outside world, magical and real
by a variety of spells, making it a safe place for students.
The school, as befits the seat of wizards, is located in a medieval castle (which emphasizes the long tradition and raises the respect due), overlooking the great “black lake”.
Students first year, unlike the other students are

boats. ” This situation may be a symbolic manifestation of their birth as members of the student (and magical). The real introduction to this community is the allocation of the ceremony, held in the Great Hall, often beautifully decorated, the ceiling looks like the sky. So even the first contact with the new Hogwarts students is unforgettable: “Harry never even imagined myself not so strange and wonderful place. They lit candles, one thousand airborne over long tables, behind which sat the rest of the students. Tables pledged glittering golden plates and cups. At the top stood the table at which sat teachers. There, she took pierwszoroczniaków Professor McConagall and told them to stop in a series of faces to the rest of the students. In the flickering light of candles, staring faces looked like pale lanterns. Here and there among the students shone silvery glow ghosts. Feeling a little awkward at all those eyes, Harry looked up and saw aksamitnoczarne ceiling speckled with stars. He heard Hermione whisper: It is magic … make it look like a real sky … about this in a book about the history of Hogwarts. ”
In such a setting, unusual and mysterious ceremony is held the allocation of new
students to individual homes. It does this magical Sorting Hat,
reading in the nature of magically and mental ability of a student
and sending him home best suited to his personality and predispositions: “In my head inserted, / And I just tell you, / Where the residence. / Maybe in Gryffindor, / Where virtue reigns blooms bravery bravery / And the feats like. / A may Hufflepuffie. we live righteous, / Where the faithful and the righteous / Hogwarts school are glorious. / A may Ravenclawie / Accommodation is you will fall / He burns the lamp of knowledge, / There’ll be a wise man might easily. / And if you want to get ready for a lot of comrades, / It’s waiting for you, Slytherin, / Where appreciate stratagems. / So, without fear, go! / On my head inserted, / I am thinking Tiara, / Fate will draw you to start. ”
Students participate in classes together with members of your own home, sleep with them
in one dormitory, spend free time in the common room, so for a period of
seven years become a kind of big family.
