Many of the creatures students will learn to care for in Care of Magical Creatures class reside in the Hogwarts barn or the connected pastures. The Hogwarts barn, recently painted a cheerful red hue, is located between Professor Paszek's cottage, the Bird Garden, and the Forbidden Forest. Like most structures here on the grounds, it's bigger on the inside than on the outside, with tidy enclosures for each of the breeds of animals kept for the use of the school. The back doors swing open, leading to large fenced pastures where the creatures can graze, run, and play. The wooden and stone fences are charmed to prevent any kind of creature (or student) from escaping, and the pastures have different sections for creatures who may not get along.

Students are welcome to visit the barns and accompanying pastures any time they are not in class, meals, or after curfew. Grab feed from the bins by the door, take one or more of the creatures out for some air, or give the winged horses a good rub down. Whatever you do, remember to treat the creatures with respect and care, especially the ones with sharp teeth and hooves bigger than your heads. This is their home and you are a guest in it.

Most animals within the barn or pastures are rated X, XX, or XXX. Some animals reside in stalls, others are in coops or cubbies, some are in the loft above your head, and some are just regular mundane barn creatures. Please remember your skill level, year, and familiarity around animals when visiting the Barn and Pastures. If you have special permission to have a non-traditional pet, this is where it will stay during the school term.
