Great Hall Vast chamber with an enchanted ceiling that mirrors the sky outside. Four long tables for the four houses. Closest to the doors from the Entrance Hall is Slytherin, then Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and next to the far wall, Gryffindor. The teachers sit at the High Table, a table on a raised platform at the front of the room. A door behind the staff table allows a person to enter the Great Hall from outside without going through the main entrance. Moderator: Jaded Lillian Potter

Kitchens The Hogwarts kitchens are located directly below the Great Hall and are just the same size. They have high ceilings and a great brick fireplace at one end. Mounds of brass pots and pans are heaped around the walls. There are preparation tables directly below the four house tables in the Hall above, and when the time comes for the food to be served, it is magically transported through the ceiling of the kitchen onto the plates. The kitchens are staffed by over a hundred house-elves. To get to the kitchens, take the door to the right of the main staircase in the entrance hall. Follow the corridor until you come to a painting of a bowl of fruit. Tickle the pear and it giggles and becomes a door handle. Moderator: Jaded Lillian Potter

Antechambers On the left of the entrance hall (north wall) is a door leading to a smaller antechamber where First Years wait to be sorted. Moderator: Jaded Lillian Potter

Hourglasses Four giant hourglasses - one for each House - stand in niches in a corner opposite the main doors. Each hourglass is filled with gemstones rather than sand, one gemstone in the lower bulb for each House Point currently held by that House. Gryffindor's contains rubies, Ravenclaw's sapphires, and Slytherin's emeralds. Presumably Hufflepuff's hourglass contains some sort of yellow gemstone. Moderator: Jaded Lillian Potter

Broom Cupboard Inside you will find all the brooms of hogwarts. Occasionally some student will leave their brooms here instead of taking them to the dorms. Moderator: Jaded Lillian Potter
