Hogwarts

== English == === Etymology === Coined by J. K. Rowling in her 1997 book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Rowling has speculated that she might have subconsciously produced the name from hogwort, a plant she saw when walking round Kew Gardens. Previously used by Geoffrey Willans in his 1953 book Down With Skool (which J. K. Rowling has read - see the article). Willan’s use was as the title of a fictitious play, “The Hogwarts”, referred to in the book as the creation of Marcus Plautus Molesworthus. In-universe, interpreted as a simple compound of hog + warts (cf. warthog). === Pronunciation === (General American) IPA(key): /ˈhɔɡ.wɔɹts/, /ˈhɔɡ.wɚts/ (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈhɒɡ.wɔːts/, /ˈhɒɡ.wəts/ === Proper noun === Hogwarts Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a school for learning magic in J.K.
