HOUSE SYSTEM
Hogwarts
was founded around 990 A.D. by four of the
greatest wizards and witches of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw,
and Salazar Slytherin.
They each represented
an aspect of personality that they wanted to bring out in new students.
However, shortly after founding the school, Slytherin had a falling out with
the other founders about blood purity,
and wanted to admit only pure-blood students.
He felt pure-blooded students deserved to learn magic,
and those of other ancestry such as Muggle-borns and Half-bloods,
were unworthy. The other three founders all disagreed, especially Gryffindor.
Slytherin left the school, but not before secretly building the Chamber of Secrets. He only old his own heir would
be able to open it once he or she arrived at the school, and the heir would
unleash a murderous basilisk living inside to purge the
school of all Muggle-born students.
The blazon of the Hogwarts Coat of Arms clockwise
from top left: the Gryffindor lion, the Slytherin serpent,
the Ravenclaw eagle, and the Hufflepuff badger,
all circling the letter 'H'.
The slogan, "draco dormiens nunquam titillandus" to be carried in an
escroll beneath the shield. The way that the house mascots are arranged makes
the centre line divide the houses with warm colours and mammal mascots from the
houses with cold colours and saurian mascots
The coat of arms of Hogwarts shows each house's
mascot and house colours
