10 Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Hogwarts

10. Protection For Students Is Priority

It's no secret that the famous school isn't exactly an ordinary building by any stretch of the imagination. In the books and movies, Hogwarts shows off many of its hidden secrets for Harry Potter and his friends during their stays.

Most famously, in The Order of The Phoenix as Dolores Umbridge rules over the school, the students are left to some dark rules during her reign. In this time, the chosen one's companions soon discover the Room of Requirement, a haven for the most vulnerable of magic kids within the castle that forms to whatever they so desire.

For Harry and his team, a training room is revealed as they plan to fight back against the evil head mistress. During this time, Dumbledore's office was sealed off by the magic school to protect the items in there from getting in to the wrong hands.

Other more commonly known tricks include the Whomping Willow - a tree jinxed to ward off danger and protect the entrance to the Shreaking Shack - and the schools invisibility to muggles who get too close, as they can only see castle ruins and a 'danger, keep off' sign.
