There is a long explanation in Harry Potter about how well protected Hogwarts castle is, but I am not sure whether or not it says what would happen if, despite all of the warnings, a non-magical human did try and get into hogwarts. I know that something happens to them, but does it specify what?
As a massive Harry Potter fan, this has been puzzling me for ages and I thought that there must be an answer! Do you know? If you do then I will be very grateful and impressed! Thanks!

‘So Durmstrang’ll just look like a ruin to an outsider, too?’
‘Maybe,’ said Hermione, shrugging, ‘or it might have Muggle-Repelling Charms on it, like the World Cup Stadium. And to keep foreign wizards from finding it, they’ll have made it Unplottable –’Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: — CHAPTER ELEVEN — Aboard the Hogwarts Express
We see how these work earlier in the book.
‘Seats a hundred thousand,’ said Mr Weasley, spotting the awestruck look on Harry’s face. ‘Ministry task force of five hundred have been working on it all year. Muggle-Repelling Charms on every inch of it. Every time Muggles have got anywhere near here all year, they’ve suddenly remembered urgent appointments and had to dash away again … Bless them,’ he added fondly, leading the way towards the nearest entrance, which was already surrounded by a swarm of shouting witches and wizards.
