The Forbidden Forest borders the edges of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry grounds. It is strictly off limits to students, except in the case of detention, or Care of Magical Creatures lessons that occasionally take place there.

[edit] Inhabitants

The Forbidden Forest houses many dangerous creatures, such as:

• Acromantula society, once led by Aragog
• A Flying Ford Anglia once belonging to Arthur Weasley
• Community of centaurs
• Herds of unicorns and thestrals
• Rubeus Hagrid's giant half-brother, Grawp
• Three-headed dog named Fluffy
• Bugbears

After the Third Task of the Triwizard Tournament, the only surviving Blast-Ended Skrewt was sent to live in the forest as well.

It is also rumoured that many other types of creatures reside there including werewolves, trolls, and a few giants, though only Grawp is ever seen.

[edit] Behind the scenes

• In the Harry Potter films the forest is referred to as the Dark Forest.
