Carolyn:
And a second interesting tidbit in the article - Hogwarts is located 
on a Celtic site. Here is another link to possible locations of 
Celtic sites in Britain, and problems of dating the Arthurian legend. 
Generally, however, it would be consistent with Hogwart's apparent 
founding date of around 900-1000 AD.

Are we about to find out about the dragon that must not be tickled at 
long last?
