An archipelago just off the coast of Europe, the United Kingdom is comprised of England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The vast majority of Hogwarts students hail from this region.

Various places throughout Europe and the rest of the world that characters have requested, but that aren't active enough to warrant their own section yet.

The bustling city of London, full of bright lights and smog, beckons travelers, especially during the holidays, for a bit of fun and adventure.

Accessible from Muggle London through The Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley is the center of the magical world. Its cobble-stone streets are lined with shops and businesses, many of which have been around for centuries. No matter what you need, Diagon Alley will have it.

Glide down the darkened side of Gringott's and you're find yourself strolling into Knockturn Alley. As Diagon Alley's darker cousin, Knockturn Alley features much more sinister shops and frequenters. An infamous haven for the Dark Arts, you may want to avoid this seedy alleyway if you can.

Located in the Scottish country-side, Hogsmeade Village is one of the few remaining muggle-free settlements. This small town is famous among the Hogwarts students for its specialty shops, such as Zonko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes, as well as being home to the infamous Shrieking Shack. But besides being a tourist spot, Hogsmeade is still home to a number of wizarding families.

Located in Western England, Godric's Hollow had, at one time, a growing muggle population. But because of the community's historical significance (it was founded by the Godric Gryffindor afterall) and the slow growth of muggle influence in magical places, the Ministry set forth a plan to slowly remove the muggle population in the area. Now, Godric's Hollow is one of the few remaining entirely magical places left in the United Kingdom.

Serving as the bridge between Hogwarts and the rest of the wizarding world, the Hogwarts Express makes its two most important stops, Platform Nine and Three-Quarters and Hogwarts Station, twice a year, every year.

Wide and expansive, the castle grounds stretch down to the Black Lake's edge and on to the Forbidden Forest, and even all the way to the castle gate where the Hogwarts Express awaits. The grounds are littered with ancient trees and grassy knolls, making it a little piece of heaven on warm Spring afternoons.

Hidden behind large oak doors, the Ground Floor is the gateway to the rest of the castle. Immediately inside is the entrance hall. To your left is the Great Hall, where all of the meals are held, and straight ahead is the main stairwell that leads to the upper floors. To the right, are two small doors; one leading to the staff room, the other to a small office.

The first floor is devoted almost entirely to classrooms. In addition, there are two offices along the western corridor- the first for Deputy Headmaster Kenta Susake, while the other is vacant. The eastern wing, better known as the Hospital Wing, is devoted to the cared of injured and sick students.

The second floor is rather plain, home to mostly offices. Aside from professor offices, the second floor also boasts a pair of bathrooms, and the infamous swiveling staircase. Be careful: the stairs have this funny thing about turning on you... Literally.

The third floor is home to the famous Trophy Room, where you can take a look back to the olden days of Hogwarts. Feel free to browse past students' accomplishments and awards. The third floor is also the site of Charms classes, and Professor Jacoby's Office.

The fourth floor is a very quiet and serious place, mostly due to the fact that the floor is almost entirely dedicated to the school library. Other than that, the floor is rather lonely with it's long corridors and a handful of empty classrooms. Really the only other activity on the floor comes from Professor Conrad Darcy's office.

The fifth floor is home to the entrance to the Ravenclaw Tower and common room. You'll also find the Transfiguration classes and Professor Prudence Mancelli's office here as well. But the fifth floor is better known as the site of the infamous swamp left behind when the Weasley twins left Hogwarts. The swamp, which still remains as a sort of memorial to Fred Weasley, who died during the Great Battle at Hogwarts.

The sixth floor is rather empty these days. The only significant sites are Professor Jack Risban's office and the Arithmancy and Ancient Runes classrooms.

The seventh floor is home to the entrance to Gryffindor Tower and common room. It's also the entrance to the Divination and Astronomy towers, where the classes are held. Headmistress Circe Soleil's Office can also be found here.

The dungeons of Hogwarts, while dark and dank, are home to a myriad of activity. Both the Slytherin and Hufflepuff common rooms are located here, as well as the kitchen. The potions classes can also be found here, along with Professor Cherise Rossi's office.
