John Hendricks, a member of the American Institute of Architects, wrote a simply fascinating article for Hendricks Architecture called “The Architecture of Hogwarts Castle.” The article goes into detail about the “architectural wonder” that is Hogwarts Castle, “even though it was never built, except in scaled down models and theme parks.”

The article is well-worth the read for admins and roleplayers interested in describing Hogwarts Castle accurately. And for good measure, here are a few more resources on castle terminology!
