No New Posts North Tower

To enter the North Tower, it is necessary to climb a ladder on the seventh floor through a trapdoor in the ceiling. The North Tower contains Sybill Trelawney's residence and one of two Divination classrooms. This classroom is at the base of the North Tower and is a round room with walls lined with shelves (they hold teacups, crystal balls and decks of cards), small round tables, armchairs and pouffes. The classroom also has an oppressive fire with a copper kettle that gives off heavy fumes.

No New Posts Ravenclaw Common Room

Ravenclaw Tower is located at the west side of the castle. It is home to the Ravenclaw common room and dormitories. The tower is entered through a door that had no handle and no keyhole, just a bronze knocker in the shape an eagle. To enter it you must correctly answer a question rather than simply give a password. Inside, it is described as an "airy" room with many windows overlooking the surrounding mountains, all hung with bronze and blue curtains. The ceiling is domed and painted blue with stars on it.

No New Posts The West Tower

The Owlery is at the top of the West Tower. The Owlery is a circular stone room that holds hundreds and hundreds of different kinds of owls, including both the school owls and owls that students have brought as pets, all nestled on perches that rise right to the top of the tower. None of the windows in the Owlery have glass and so it is rather cold and drafty. The floor is covered in straw, droppings, and the "regurgitated skeletons of mice and voles".

No New Posts The Headmaster's Tower

The headmaster or headmistress' office and residence is inside this tower, and is entered via a staircase guarded by a stone gargoyle on the seventh floor. The office is a large and beautiful round room with windows that have a view of the Quidditch pitch and the mountains surrounding Hogwarts. It is decorated with portraits of previous headmasters and headmistresses, including Dilys Derwent, Armando Dippet, Phineas Nigellus Black, Professor Everard and Fortescue. The desk is enormous and claw-footed with a highly polished surface and a high-backed chair. On the wall behind the headmaster's desk is a shelf that holds the Sorting Hat.

The office can seal itself so that none but the rightful headmaster or headmistress is allowed to enter, as Dolores Umbridge found out after she was made Headmistress. During Albus Dumbledore's tenure as Headmaster, the office contained a number of spindly-legged tables with numerous silver instruments of unknown function, at least one of which appears to have something to do with tracing or monitoring visions or dreams. Following Dumbledore's death his portrait appeared, but was asleep. After Harry's 'death' the portrait woke up and now gives advice to the New Headmaster.
