Introduction

Hello! My name is McKenna Kirkpatrick and I am a freshman at UC Denver studying vocal performance. I will be spending this semester going over the geographical features that surround the magical school of Hogwarts. Located somewhere in northern Scotland (of course being muggles we can't know it's exact location), Hogwarts is built upon mountains that overlook a loch known as the Black Lake. It is also surrounded by enchanted forestation known as the Forbidden Forest filled with all sorts of mystical plants and creatures.

I have chosen Hogwarts as my location simply because I am a complete Harry Potter nerd and believe it will be fun to learn even more about its magical landscape.
