Hogwarts
Hogwarts was built in a valley area — surrounding mountains were
part of the landscape — with the fairly large Great Lake to the
south of the main building. The huge main oak front doors that led
into the Entrance Hall faced west, and opened up to sloping lawns.
The deep Forbidden Forest extended around to the west of the
castle. There were also exterior greenhouses and vegetablepatches
on the school grounds.
