Hogwarts leans into the Christmas spirit in new Harry Potter fan art, which puts a cozy and festive spin on the iconic location. Based on the books by author J.K. Rowling, the first Harry Potter movie was released in 2001, spawning a franchise that now consists of 11 films, three of which are spinoffs. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry plays a crucial role in almost every one of these franchise installments, and a number of the films take time to show the castle as a particularly comforting place to be for students during the holiday season.
