Harry Potter's Hogwarts Castle is full of mystery and secrets, all thanks to the centuries of teachers and students who walked through its doors.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Hogwarts School of Witchcraft of Wizardry is the central location of the Harry Potter series, and its history in the British wizarding community is rich with important moments. Founded by four of the most powerful witches and wizards of all time, Hogwarts Castle is a stronghold of magic. The very walls are full of secrets, making the castle itself feel like a character all its own.
Salazar Slytherin Creates The Chamber Of Secrets - Circa 1000 Though the founders of Hogwarts all started as friends, it only took a couple of decades of teaching together before things began to fall apart. Each had established a house that welcomed students that shared their own values, but this wasn't enough for Salazar Slytherin. This wizard, known to be a gifted Legilimence and Parselmouth, desired only pureblood students to attend Hogwarts.
Plumbing Is Installed At Hogwarts Castle - Circa 1700 Though the wizarding world in Harry Potter rejected Muggle technology, there were a few nonmagical inventions that made a lot of sense to adopt. Before indoor plumbing, witches and wizards would magic away their business, but this lacked the elegance that toilets provided. Around the 1700s, the Hogwarts Board of Governors decided to install bathrooms in some empty chambers around the castle.
Tom Riddle Opens The Chamber Of Secrets - 1942 During his seven years at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle uncovered more secrets than any student before him. The clever half-blood was adored by most of his professors and respected by his fellow students, which only seemed to feed his belief that he was something marvelous. Riddle's ability to talk to snakes likely is what tipped him off that he was the heir of Slytherin, and this sent him on his search for the Chamber of Secrets.
