This castle was hidden deep within the Amazon rainforest in northern Brazil. It housed the wizarding school of Castelobruxo.[1]
Description[]
Described as fabulous, this building was a large, square edifice constructed out of golden rock. It was often compared to a temple.[1]
The castle was under an enchantment that made it appear as a ruin to the few Muggles who chanced upon it. Hogwarts Castle was concealed from Muggles in the same manner; it is unknown who first came up with the idea.[1]
Ancient ruins were once discovered underneath the school.[2]
Security[]
Both the castle and grounds of Castelobruxo were protected by the Caipora, which emerged at night to watch over students, as well as the other creatures that inhabited the surrounding rainforest.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- Based on Pottermore's depiction, the Castelobruxo castle resembles a Mesoamerican pyramid. These structures were usually step pyramids with temples on top.
- The castle being made of golden rock may be in reference to the the various legends of "cities of gold" in Central and South America, such as El Dorado or the City of the Caesars.
