Decrible the Hogwarts Magic School ( Harry Potter)

The narrow path had opened suddenly on to the edge of a great black lake. Perched atop a high mountain on the other side, its windows sparkling in the starry sky, was a vast castle with many turrets and towers.

The Entrance Hall was so big you could have fitted the whole of the Dursleys' house in it. The stone walls were lit with flaming torches like the ones at Gringotts. the ceiling was too high to make out. and a magnificent marble staircase facing them led to the upper floors.

Harry had never even imagined such a strange and splendid place. It was lit by thousands and thousands of candles which were floating in mid-air over four long tables, where the rest of the students were sitting . These tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. At the top of the Hall was another long table where the teachers were sitting.
