The Great Hall Double doors in the Entrance Hall lead to the Great Hall, which is a vast chamber with an enchanted ceiling that mirrors the sky outside. Lightning and thunder flash across it during storms, on clear nights it appears deep black and full of stars, and it has been full of sunshine or covered with gray clouds. For special occasions the ceiling has been transformed; warm, dry enchanted show fell for a Christmas celebration and colorful confetti fell during Lockhart's Valentine's Day celebration.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
The Entrance Hall Four large hourglasses, each representing a different house, were hung on the corner of a wall in the Hogwarts’ entrance hall. At the top of each hourglass was a store of precious gems: Gryffindor had rubies, Ravenclaw had sapphires, and Slytherin had emeralds – the gems in the Hufflepuff hourglass were unknown but probably yellow (SS15; OP28, 38). During the battle in Hogwarts, the Gryffindor hourglass was shattered, and the rubies had scattered all over the flagstones in the entrance hall (HBP28, 29).	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Charms Classroom Professor Filius Flitwick teaches in a third-floor classroom but his office is on the seventh floor, thirteenth window from the right, in the West Tower. Sirius Black escaped from this office.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Potions Classroom Potions - Professor Snape's office was adjacent to his classroom in one of the dungeons. It is colder than the main castle, and you can see your breath during the winter. His office is creepy, and the walls are lined with pickled animals floating in jars. Snape keeps his own private stores of potion ingredients in his office. When Professor Slughorn taught Potions, he used the former office used by the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers on the second floor because Snape stayed in his office in the dungeon.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

Defence Aganist the Dark Arts Classroom Defense Against the Dark Arts - the office is on the second floor, while the classroom on the first floor. This class has been taught by a different professor each year. Professor Gilderoy Lockhart decorated the office with pictures of himself; Professor Remus Lupin had a grindylow tank and other magical creatures; Mad-Eye Moody had a Foe-Glass, Dark Detectors, and a chest with seven locks. Professor Dolores Umbridge had plates on the wall painted with foul kittens in bright colors, frilly doilies, and a flowered tablecloth. However, Snape continued to use his old office in the dungeon when he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
RavenClaw~ Rowena Ravenclaw - The founder of Ravenclaw house, she was a sharp and intelligent woman. Intellect is a highly valued asset to the students of Ravenclaw house. Due to this, it is likely that Rowena wanted to make Hogwarts the very finest Wizarding school on earth, teaching those children with the highest intelligence.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Hufflepuff~ Helga Hufflepuff- The founder of Hufflepuff house, she was a kind and warm woman. Not much is known of her, though we may assume that she brought (or tried to bring) unity to Hogwarts. The values a person must possess to be sorted into Hufflepuff house are those of loyalty and patience above all else.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Gryffindor ~ Where the Gryffindor sleeps and stays. Only a Gryffindors may post here. Godric Gryffindor - The founder of Gryffindor house. A fair man, he believed that any child who displayed magical abilities before their 11th birthday should be able to attend Hogwarts. Godric valued courage and bravery, believing these were the two most virtuous abilities a person can possess.	1	0	Dec 30 2005, 06:56 PM In: Protected Forum By: Lavender
Slythern ~ Kirsten Where the Slytherns sleep and stay. Only a Slythern may post here. Salazar Slytherin - The founder of Slytherin house, he was sly and cunning, not unlike many of the students in his house today. He believed strongly that only wizards of pure blood (i.e., those with a mother and father from Wizarding families) should be allowed to attend Hogwarts. Slytherin caused great dispute over this with the other founders, and it eventually caused a permanent rift with Gryffindor, which led to Slytherin's departure from the school. Before he left, however, he created the Chamber of Secrets, complete with a huge statue of himself and a horrible monster.	1	19	Dec 24 2005, 06:20 PM In: Protected Forum By: Emily Campbell
Headmisstress' Office This is where Hermione lives, students are sent here for disapline or staff for a meeting. No student may start a topic here! the entrance to the headmistress's office and living quarters is on the seventh floor and is hidden behind a stone gargoyle; when the password is given, the gargoyle springs aside and reveals a spiral staircase, which moves magically up like an escalator. The office and living quarters are in a tower, and the office is a large and beautiful circular room. The walls are covered with portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses, who often seem to be snoozing in their frames. There is an huge, claw-footed desk and the Sorting Hat sits on a shelf behind it.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
