Magical Settings of Harry Potter

 
"Yeh'll get yer firs' sight o' Hogwarts in a sec," Hagrid called over his
shoulder, "Jus' round this bend here."
There was a loud "Ooooooh!"
The narrow path had opened suddenly onto the edge of a great black lake.
Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the
starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers.
"No more 'n four to a boat!" Hagrid called, pointing to a fleet of little boats
sitting in the water by the shore. Harry and Ron were followed into their boat
by Nevlille and Hermione.
"Everyone in?" shouted Hagrid, who had a boat to himself, "Right then—
FORWARD!“
 
And the fleet of little boats moved off all at once, gliding across the lake,
which was as smooth as glass. Everyone was silent, staring up at the great
castle overhead. It towered over them as they sailed nearer and nearer to the
cliff on which it stood.
 
"Heads down!" yelled Hagrid as the first boat reached the cliff; they all bent their heads and
the little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy which hid a wide opening in the cliff face.
They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the
castle, until they reached a kind of underground harbour, where they clambered out on to the
rocks and pebbles.
"Oy, you there! Is this your toad?" said Hagrid, who was checking his boats as people climbed
out of them.
"Trevor!" cried Neville blissfully, holding out his hands. Then they clambered up a passageway in
the rock after Hagrid's lamp, coming out at last on to smooth, damp grass right in the shadow
of the castle.
They walked up a flight of stone steps and crowded around the huge, oak front door.
"Everyone here? You there, still got yer toad?"
Hagrid raised a gigantic fist and knocked three times on the castle door.
Slide Note

Description of Hogwarts - Read description & let children guess what they think is being described.

There are 142 staircases: wide sweeping ones; narrow, rickety ones; some that led somewhere different on a Friday; some with vanishing step halfway up that you had to remember to jump. They are known to move around in the massive castle which is set upon huge rocks above a magnificent lake. Then there were doors that wouldn’t open unless you asked politely, or tickled them in exactly the right place, and doors that weren’t doors at all, but solid walls just pretending. It was also very hard to remember where everything was, because it all seemed to move around a lot. The people in the portraits kept going to visit each other and Harry was sure the coats of armour could walk. The halls are full of classrooms, secret corridors, and trapdoors, and some parts of the castle are even forbidden.
