Four powerful witches and wizards founded the school around 990 AD. They were Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Helga Hufflepuff. Their sole aim was to transfer the knowledge of magic to new students. With this goal, their gift would stay forever. When believing Harry to be dead and thinking that he has victory in his grasp, Voldemort proclaims his intention to abolish the other three houses and force all Hogwarts students into Slytherin. This design is foiled by his defeat and death, after which Slytherin becomes more diluted in its blood purity, no longer remaining the pure-blood bastion it once was.

The house-elves at Hogwarts amongst other duties provide all food to students and staff. They cook a wide variety of dishes especially at the feasts. The various dishes are prepared in the kitchens directly below the Great Hall. Within the kitchen are four long tables directly aligned with the house tables in the great hall above. At meal times the food is magically transported up, appearing directly in front of the students.

To graphically convey their values, the sorcerers opted for an old badge. It’s a shield divided into four factions. Here, each segment represents a founder. Also, the logo has beasts, colors, and a motto. For instance, the mascots are a lion, snake, eagle, and badger. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 6 ( The Journey from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters) The strengthening rods beneath the carriage are similarly authentic, but the proportions of the windows leave something to be desired. While large windows offer a good view of the interior, they appear much too long, in relation to the onscreen passenger carriages.
