Over the centuries since the school's inception, more than a few students had disappeared in the forest. As a sizable portion of the forest fell within the boundaries of the Hogwarts grounds, a long line of successive Keepers of Keys and Grounds, including Mr Ogg and Rubeus Hagrid, had presumably been charged to attend to matters in the Forbidden Forest as part of their job. and the 19th century, according to the Wizarding Examinations Authority's Wizards' Ordinary Magic and Basic Aptitude Test, the Forbidden Forest may have started out as a small wood tended by a herd of centaurs. History Early historyĭating back to somewhere between the First millennium A.D. īlack flowers were known to grow in the forest, along with Bubotubers. The hut of Gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid was located at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Anything wild and dangerous that needed a place to live was put there. The forest was home to a wide and strange assortment of creatures. Also, clothes were known to snag on low-slung branches and brambles. It was hard to navigate the Forest at night, as there were tree roots and stumps that were barely visible in near blackness. Patricia Rakepick, who had lured one of the students at the school and attacked them and their friends, was also able to flee the scene of the crime by Disapparating following the murder of Rowan Khanna, showing that if one went deep enough into the forest, one would eventually end up outside the school grounds and the boundaries of the spells protecting it. It was not entirely contained within the boundaries of the school itself, however, as Bartemius Crouch Senior was able to enter the grounds by foot by way of the Forbidden Forest from somewhere outside of it.
Hagrid set up a paddock for Hippogriffs in an area like this and the dragons which had been brought in for the first task were confined here. There were areas around the edges of the forest that were part of the Hogwarts grounds, but which were out of sight of the castle. Off the path, the way was almost impassable, although people had moved through it and creatures as large as Acromantulas and a Ford Anglia had managed to get around. Described by Professor Silvanus Kettleburn as "massive", the forest was thick with trees, such as beech, oak, pine, sycamore, and yew, as well as undergrowth such as knotgrass and thorns, but there were paths, brooks, and some clearings.
