About Hogwarts

A detailed, heraldic shield divided into four coloured quadrants with a thick gold outline and a large gold letter "H" at the centre. Each quadrant contains a stylised animal: a red background with a rampant lion (top left), a green background with a coiled serpent (top right), a grey/white badger (bottom left), and a blue background with a bird (bottom right). A gold ribbon scroll runs beneath the shield carrying an uppercase Latin motto.

The artwork is ornate and illustrative with heavy black outlines, cross-hatching shading, and a hand-drawn heraldic style. The ribbon text is clearly legible and the entire crest reads as a traditional school/house coat of arms.
