Hilda's house (forest)

Hilda's House was the house that Hilda, her mother Johanna and Twig used to live in before moving to Trolberg. It appears in the graphic novels and the animated series.

Description[]

The house was a relatively small, two-story wooden cabin. Known rooms included a living room with a fireplace, and separate bedrooms for Hilda and Johanna. The house had its own windmill for generating electricity. The house was located in the middle of a valley, miles away from any other human settlements. Only a small road connected the house to the rest of the area. A flashback in "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle" shows the house used to have a shed, but this is no longer present at the start of the series.

The house was originally build by Hilda's great-granddad. In her childhood, Hilda's maternal grandmother Lydia used to live in the house, until she and Phinium got married, had Johanna, and moved to Tofoten so Astrid could also come to live with them. At some point either before or shortly after having Hilda, Johanna moved back into the cabin, as Hilda lived there her entire life. Unknown to any of them, it was located in the middle of an elf village.

In both the graphic novels and the animated series, the house was eventually destroyed when a giant accidentally stepped on it (Illus in "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" and Jorgen in "Chapter 2: The Midnight Giant" respectively). This forced Hilda and Johanna to move to a different house in Trolberg.

In the animated series, the house was seen again as part of Hilda's nightmare in "Chapter 6: The Nightmare Spirit". This scene does not appear in the graphic novels however.

Its remains were seen again in "The Black Hound" when Tontu and Jellybean ended up there, and in "The Deerfox". The house is seen intact in flashbacks in the latter episode. And again in both "Chapter 9: The Deerfox" and "Chapter 8: The Fairy Isle".
