The Forbidden Forest

[/center][/size]

To the east of Hogwarts Castle is the large, dark, Forbidden Forest. The forest is strictly off-limits to Hogwarts students, unless they are being escorted through by a teacher. The forest is thick with trees and a very deep undergrowth of knotgrass and thorns. There is the occasional path and brook, however students usually never seem to find these. It is not recommended to go any farther than that though, because of the various magical creatures that inhabit the forest and might consider other magical beings to be at threat...or an evening meal
