Why Can't Muggles See Hogwarts? - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing how it is that Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding grounds are hidden from Muggles and the outside world.

When we’re first introduced to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry alongside an 11-year-old Harry Potter in The Philosopher’s Stone, we learn that a once impoverished and deprived young Harry will be living in a spectacular Scottish castle of old. Described as a huge and sprawling castle that’s seven stories high, Hogwarts is complete with one hundred and forty-two staircases, multiple towers, turrets, and even very deep dungeons all built in the Early Middle Ages. As the story progresses, we learn that Hogwarts was founded in the 10th Century by four famed wizards by the names of Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, and that it is regarded by many as the best magical institution in the wizarding world.

Sounds pretty impressive, doesn’t it? But then, how is it that such a magnificent building—not to mention the sprawling grounds that include the expansive and magical Forbidden Forest—could go unnoticed by neighbouring Muggles?
