Questions & Answers
- Where may I park?
Complimentary parking is available in the Visitor Carriage Grounds just beyond the castle gates. Spaces have been reserved for Muggle motorcars, wizarding carriages, and Ministry-approved enchanted vehicles. Guests arriving by broomstick should use the designated broom racks, and those traveling by Hippogriff are kindly asked to check in with Professor Hagrid upon arrival.
- Where do I report upon arrival?
Upon entering the castle grounds, please proceed directly to the Entrance Hall where members of the Admissions Office and our student prefects will be waiting to greet you.
- Will I be Sorted?
You'll have the opportunity to meet the Sorting Hat and hear its thoughts. While no official House assignments will be made during your visit, the Hat has been known to offer the occasional opinion.
- What guests may I bring?
Guests are encouraged! Parents, guardians, and other family members are welcome to accompany prospective students throughout the day, though we ask that they refrain from attempting any unauthorized spellwork.
- Will food be served?
Of course. Guests are invited to dine in the Great Hall, where a traditional Hogwarts feast will be prepared by the castle's kitchens.
- Can I learn more about Quidditch?
Absolutely! Join Madam Hooch at the Quidditch Pitch for a flying demonstration, followed by the opportunity to watch a House team practice. Afterward, you'll have a chance to meet the players, learn about Quidditch at Hogwarts, and ask any questions you may have about joining a House team.
