The Forbidden Forest

The Forbidden Forest lies east of Hogwarts castle. The forest has thick groves of trees that block out the light. Beech, oak, pine, sycamore, and yew trees are found in the forest, along with underbrush such as knotgrass and thorns (SS13, 15; CS15; OP21, 28, 30). There are brooks, clearings, and wide paths to follow, but dense vegetation grows on both sides of the paths.
