| The Great Hall
When you venture into the Great Hall you will find four tables side by side. Above each table you will see large banners with each house on them all the way from Gryffindor to Hufflepuff. Each table is assigned to each house group. The great hall is graced with floating lit candles and a magical view of the sky, when your eyes grace upwards you'll be delighted to see it. Beyond all it's wonderful beauty, at the very front of the hall is the head table where all teachers including the Headmaster eat and announce current events.

| Classroom Eleven
Classroom eleven is one of the many empty classrooms located inside of Hogwarts, this one happens to be located on the ground floor. Dumbledore found no use for it but decided to turn it into a room that looks exactly like the forbidden forest. Sneak inside and you will see trees covered in vines that go all along the floor. The floor boards appear as if it is grass and dirt giving a surreal feel to it. At night the ceiling mimics the night sky as if you are really there.

| Filch's Office
Located in the same corridor as the empty classrooms, is Filch’s office. This is a place no student wants to find themselves. The room is unbearably small and smells of fried fish. The only light source in the room is an oil lantern that hangs from the ceiling. Each drawer of Filch’s desk is filled with banned instruments.

| -Dungeons |
| Dungeons
There are many dungeons located underneath the castle. These dungeons are numbered. The most popular one is dungeon number five. It held the death day party for Nearly Headless Nick. All the dungeons are almost identical. What is not identical about them is what is stored within. Trolls are known to inhabit a few of the vast dungeons.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Potions
Travel through the door opposite of the Great Hall and you’ll find yourself in the damp, dark, cold, and murky dungeons. If you follow the corridor long enough you’ll come to a door that reads, ‘Potions Classroom’. The room beyond the door is square, and filled with long tables, which cauldrons sit upon. A large cauldron sits in front of the desks. This large cauldron belongs to the professor. It is unwise to venture into the potions classroom without permission.

| Slytherin Common Room
Right below the lake, in the dungeons is the Slytherin Common Room, hidden behind a portrait of a silver haired gaunt looking man, from what appears to the eighteenth century. Inside you’ll find a circular, low-ceilinged room. Unlike any other house the torches give off a green light. The room itself is a cold, damp, murky place just like the dungeons. Near the burning fire in this room, are green couches, and close to that there are tables for studying. On the walls there are scruffy looking portraits, some of which have secret hiding places behind them.
| 0 | 0 | |
| Kitchens
The kitchens are located right under the Great Hall. It is hidden behind a portrait of a bowl of fruit. To get past it all you have to do it tickle the hair. Once inside it is hard not to notice the resemblance it has to the Great Hall. In the middle of the room stand four tables, identical to the ones above. House elves work preparing food for the meals, and if you happen to stumble into the Kitchen at night they may prepare you a snack. It is prohibited to be out of bed though. So, watch out for Filch.

| Hufflepuff Common Room
Near the kitchens, underneath a hidden trap door is the Hufflepuff Common Room. This common room is much different from the rest of them, for one it is square, and there are two fire places, to each side. The room has a humble feeling to it, plastered on the high ceiling is yellow and black banners that read Hufflepuff. Upon the lower walls are a few portraits and a cork board. Both fires are surrounded by black & yellow chairs, couches, and on one side even beanbag chairs. Like all the houses this one too has tables to study at.

| Muggle Studies
The Muggle Studies classroom is located on the first floor. It is the one of the first classrooms you come upon. If you don’t know much about Muggles you could better yourself with a lesson. The room the class is taught in, is a small round chamber like room, where you’ll find all sorts of Muggle stuff, from Rubber Ducks, to Washing Machines.

| History of Magic
Many students find History of Magic a drag. During classes the room is usually lit by a fire near the back of the class, giving the room a dim and distant feel.

| Defence Against The Dark Arts
One of the most intriguing subjects at Hogwarts is Defence Against the Dark Arts. This class is to teach the students how to protect themselves from dark magic, or dark creatures they may run into after Hogwarts. The subject is taught on the first floor, in a huge rectangular room, which in the day is well lit due to the many windows that align against one of the walls. At night oil lamps light the room, giving it a dim lit glow. In the center of the room are rows of chairs, all of which point towards the professors desk

| -Second Floor |
| Arithmancy
Around the corner from the suit of armor and adjacent to the gargoyle outside of the Headmaster/Headmistress' office is the classroom of Arithmancy. The well lit room, with easy access to Moaning Myrtle's abandoned bathroom, is identical to that of the History of Magic room. With three rows of desks facing the usually blank chalkboard, one would be surprised that the subject is far less dull than, far less dull than learning about the Goblin Rebellion. With wide windows and a magnificent view of the Hogwart's grounds, the method of fortune-telling based on names and numbers awaits you through the ever-open door.

| Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom
It has been a while since Moaning Myrtle died in the Girls Bathroom, yet she still resides there. This bathroom has since been abandoned. On occasion Myrtle will have a fit and flood the bathroom and even the halls, using the bathroom sinks, or clogging the toilets. She’s a wreck, you’d be crazy to venture into this bathroom.

| Empty Corridor
The corridor located on the second floor is desolate. The only time it is packed full of students is when they need to get to their classes’. In the past there have been duels in the desolate corridor. That is why it is Mrs. Norris’ favorite place to venture at night. The hall has collected a few spider webs, around its portraits, and ghouls in its armor knights that line the halls. During the day the portraits are seen going in and out of their frame, but by night they’re back in their frame fast asleep.

| -Third Floor |
| Hospital Wing
One of the most important places in the school is the Hospital Wing. If someone is injured due to Quidditch, or sick they come here. The room is a large rectangle room, lined with many stain glass windows, beds, and cupboards. From inside the hospital wing one can hear a Quidditch Match going on, just not very well. Within the cupboards are many potions to make one well. In the winter one can come here for pepper up potion, to keep the colds away.

| Trophy Room
Awards, trophies, plates, shields, and metals are all displayed behind a crystal case, inside of the Trophy Room. The case shimmers with the fire that burns in its fire place beside it. This room is a popular place for Peeves to act up, and wreck havoc for Filch. It is unwise to host a duel within it. During the day the room is quiet, peaceful and warm, even though no one visits it.

| Charms
The Charms classroom is located near the front of the building on the Third Floor. The front wall of classroom is all windows, giving the room a very bright and up beat appeal.

| Mirror of Erised room
This large empty rectangular room once held the Mirror of Erised. Now it is just bare, with only windows to light it. At night it carries a creepy feel, in the day it is just a deserted room, however lately Slytherin’s have been getting together to perform unauthorized duels here. In the dead of night it is not rare to hear, clunks, clinks, and the occasional yell of Slytherin’s dueling. This is risk, any student caught could face expulsion

Even though it doesn’t seem like it, wizards are in the muggle world. Some live in the huge town on London, while others live on the peaceful country side.
