Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the main setting of the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. This list of the rooms in Hogwarts Castle is based upon a list created by the Harry Potter Lexicon, a site whose contributors have deduced the location of every room except the Transfiguration Classroom. It should be noted that some rooms in the school tend to "move around," which Rowling says can be attributed either to the magic of the school or to her own imperfect memory.[1] Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a fictional school of magic that is the main setting of the Harry Potter series. ...

Chamber of Secrets

The Chamber of Secrets, which is deep under the dungeons (probably under the lake), was home to an ancient Basilisk, intended to be used to purge the school of Muggle-born students.

Slytherin Dormitories

The Slytherin dormitories and common room are actually located under the lake. Access is gained by going through the door to the left of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall and down the stone steps that lead into a labyrinth of corridors. When given the correct password, a bare stone wall down one of the passages opens into the Slytherin common room. The common room is long and low with a rough stone ceiling and walls. It is lit by green-tinted lamps hanging by chains and carved chairs stand around a fire burning under an elaborate mantelpiece.

Hufflepuff Dormitories

The Hufflepuff dormitories and common room are in the cellar, adjacent to the kitchens. They are located through the door to the right of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall, down a flight of stone steps and along a broad, stone corridor lit with torches and decorated cheerfully.

Kitchens

The kitchens are located directly under the Great Hall in an enormous, high-ceilinged room. It has stone walls, heaps of brass pots and pans, and a large brick fireplace at one end. The kitchens contain four long wooden tables positioned exactly the same way as the tables above. Food must simply be placed on these tables in the kitchens in order to be sent up through the ceiling to their counterparts upstairs.GF Ch. 21 The kitchens are staffed by over a hundred house-elves, including Dobby, Winky and, as of book six, Kreacher.

Harry appears to have known and then forgotten about the location of the kitchens in his first three years at the school. In the Philosopher's Stone, he recalls that there is a suit of armour near to the kitchens, noting that he must be 'five floors up from there' (he appears to be on the same level as the library: he has run from there, and does not mention using any staircases). By The Goblet of Fire, however, he does not know where the kitchens are (he has to be told about them by Fred and George Weasley, and does not realise where Hermione is taking him when they visit the kitchens). One could argue that what Harry had initially believe to be the kitchens by the library was not, that there is a common kitchen for student use, or (most likely) that Rowling had forgotten the first instance whe she wrote the scene in GOblet of Fire.

The Entrance Hall is entered up a flight of stone steps and through huge double oak front doors that face west.PA Ch.21 The Hall is lit by torches and is quite imposing, with a ceiling so high it is barely visible and a paved flagstone floor.

Classroom Eleven

When Firenze the centaur was appointed the new Divination teacher after Sybill Trelawney was sacked in book five, he was given a classroom on the ground floor, as he was unable to climb up the ladder to the normal classroom on the seventh floor. Albus Dumbledore made classroom eleven look like the middle of a forest clearing, full of trees and plantlife. Since Firenze stayed on as Divination teacher even after Trelawney was rehired, it is presumed that the room has not changed. The book states that this is one of a group of unused classrooms in one area, so one can only assume that there are several more classrooms on the ground floor.

Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor's Office

This is the office of the current Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Although it is mentioned in the first book (during which time it is used by Professor Quirrell), the reader does not then see it. It is seen during the tenure of the five successive occupants. When Gilderoy Lockhart used it, it was full of portraits of himself. When Remus Lupin used it, it contained a variety of interesting Dark creatures used during his lessons. When the fake Alastor Moody occupied it, it was full of Dark Detectors, and when Dolores Umbridge used it, all the surfaces were draped with flowery and lacy covers and cloths, and on one of the walls were many ornamental plates decorated with technicolor kittens. In the next to last instalment, Severus Snape who was formerly the Potions Master, became the new professor for Defence Against the Dark Arts.

Dobby later admitted to frequently bringing Winky to the room to cure her bouts of Butterbeer-induced drunkenness, finding it full of antidotes and a "nice elf-sized bed". Argus Filch was said to find cleaning supplies here when he had run out, and when Fred and George Weasley needed a place to hide, it would appear in the form of a broom cupboard. Sybill Trelawney also makes a habit of using it to hide her empty sherry bottles after she is sacked in book five.

Harry learned of the room's abilities from Dobby, finding it the perfect location for his Dumbledore's Army meetings, during which it would be filled with bookcases full of Defence Against the Dark Arts volumes, many different kinds of Dark Detectors, and a plethora of floor cushions for practicing defensive spells. In book six Harry used the room to stash his copy of Advanced Potion-Making, finding it the size of a large cathedral and packed to overflowing with items hidden by Hogwarts inhabitants over the years, such as old potions, clothing, ruined furniture, or books which were "no doubt banned or graffitied or stolen". He later realised that Draco Malfoy had been using the room in that same state to hide and repair the Vanishing Cabinet in order to use it to smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts.

It is decorated with portraits of previous headmasters and headmistresses, including Dilys Derwent, Armando Dippet, Phineas Nigellus Black, Professor Everard and Fortescue.

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 in book six, his portrait appeared, but was asleep, and had not woken by the book's end.
