Revision as of 09:18, 20 February 2013

The Forgotten Grounds was a closed-off area by the Quidditch pitch. It could only be acessed via an old, rusty gate that was kept locked; as a result, this area became abandoned and, gradually, virtually forgotten. It was enclosed by stone walls, although the far end had very thick trees that one could not cross. There were three areas there: a Puffapod patch; an area with an infestation of Horklumps, and an area with a fully grown Venomous Tentacula.

In 1991, Fred and George Weasley stole a sloth brain from Severus Snape's private stores, and hid it here, where no one could find it, to the chagrin of the Potions master. Harry Potter found a map scribbled by Fred and George indicating its location, and retrieved it to Snape.[1]
