Hogwarts: JKR's Map
"This is Jo Rowling's drawing that she executed in just a few minutes...she
had a very, very exact and precise understanding of her world...she knew
exactly the relationship between all the elements..."
-- Stuart Craig (PA/DVD)
This map is a quick sketch, as Stuart Craig mentions on the PA/DVD. It is
amazing how closely it matches the map which I drew for the Lexicon from
the references in the books. Clearly Jo had the map in her mind as she
wrote, since the descriptions in the books gave me the exact same arrangement
of the various elements, with a few notable exceptions. The most important
difference is that Jo put
Hogsmeade on the
opposite side of Hogwarts
than I did.
