Hogwarts through the eyes of a Muggle...


Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the ultimate fantasy world that paints a vivid imagination in the minds of every Potterhead across the world. The grandeur of the Hogwarts buildings from afar is imagined to be aesthetically pleasing. When one approaches the gates, one expects a sense of ecstasy of being transformed from the world of muggles to that of wizards. The Great Hall of Hogwarts has been home to a plethora of events and one expects to see the sky from the ceiling. The arrangement of tables according to four houses and the unlimited food on the dishes are integral to it. Then comes the moving staircases, the living portraits and the swirling ghosts across the passageways. I have always imagined myself to be in Gryffindor and approach the Gryffindor common room by bypassing the fat lady. Coming to the classes, Snape's dungeon has always uncannily fascinated me. A room of potions brewing from all quarters with the dungeon master at the helm is a sight worth imagining. The secret passageways of Hogwarts symbolize the endlessness of the castle. Then come the castle grounds. The sports freak in me imagines it to be large and full of activity during Quidditch matches. The Forbidden Forest just adjacent to it and the never ending Black Lake in all likelihood offer an amalgamation of awe and enthral to the onlookers which can be matched by none. In a nutshell, Hogwarts is that Utopic place that never ceases to amaze.
