sorry, I meant 10 points =S typo.

Answer 1

Well, it was founded over 1,000 years ago as you know. I am guessing it hasn't changed much, save for modern emnities as far as plumbing and electrical appliances. It would depend (I'm assuming you're writing a fanfic?) on the characters' knowledge of the place and everything. Only some people know certain passwords or have access and knowledge to tools like the Mauraders' Map (obviously not created until the 1970's) or the Room of Requirement. Just ave everything candlelit just like in the book and make sure you don't accidentally reference any kind of magical TV's, radio's, iPod's or any other futuristic nonsense. The wizarding world is a little outdated as it is. :o)

[ha i just realized i gave a similar answer to someone who's already posted. my bad. that's funny we both assumed "fanfic" right off the bat.]

Answer 2

It was probably a dilapidated abandoned old castle secluded and overgrown by forest, that the founders charmed to be suitable as a school. The reason I think it was probably a pre-existing building is because, notice how the potions class room is suppose be dark and dreary like it was once a dungeon. I don't think that if you made a building with the intentions of using as a school you'd opt to have a class room like that. Also It would have been nice and, fair to make 4 towers so that each house had a common room with a view but, instead Hufflepuff's is near the kitchen and Slytherin's by the potions classroom. They (the founders) probably drew straws or something. Hogwarts probably didn't change much threw the centuries from medieval-times to the 1990s. (maybe they didn't have a quidditch pitch at first :P) So between 1600-1700 it was probably nearly identical to the modern Hogwarts, with the exception of superficial things like, different furniture and, less paintings in the headmaster's office etc......Sounds as if you're concocting a fanfic.

Oooh yay! :) How i miss the harry potter series... What living house are you in? Ravenclaw mostlikely, or gryffindor. I even tend to be very logical and likewise think of outdoors-of-the-container, style of a combination between Hermione and Luna. in spite of the fact that, i'm consistently up for a thrill and am not petrified of a challenge. So i assume it may be as much as the sorting hat to confirm. what's you Blood Purity? (organic Blood, 0.5 Blood, Muggle Born) Muggle Born. i could be too involved via the wizarding international to be seen organic or 0.5 blood What styles of events do you're taking section in at hogwarts?

What grades did you acquire maximum on your OWLs? Es many times, a pair Os here and there if i'm rather passionate on the subject of the class. what's your well known type at hogwarts? Charms, Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures. regardless of the undeniable fact that i could probable do properly in Arithmancy and Divination as properly. My least well known could probable be: history of magic, potions and historical runes (pondering history is uninteresting everywhere if the instructor is uninteresting, technology has by no skill been my solid factor, and languages, for me, are deffinately not unquestionably found out). what's your well known meal there?

Answer 4

debbie _685 is wrong. Hogwarts, the location where the Harry Potter movies took place in , was, or better said, still is a major atraction not only for the movies but because it is a real castle located in england. sorry that i cant give you mor einformation, but ur question is good. :)

Answer 5

When it first opened, I'd say it was a castle. Quite likely the castle was already in place and the founders just used it for their own purpose.

Answer 6

It's great, I just finished there, all O's at my N.E.W.T.'s! But I don't think that it changed a lot during the ages, maybe only new portraits were added through the time and new secrets were discovered.

Answer 7

I think it was some sort of British colonial place like in Washington's day.

Answer 8

im guessing from my point of view is that um it would of been really really new and shiny and stuff and im guessing there wasnt a lot of people that go there

Answer 9

i say they used magic to crete the castle. and i can see it as like a medivel style castle.
