Number 12, Grimmauld Place

Many security measures are in place at Grimmauld Place: there are anti-Apparation charms; it is Unplottable; it is disguised from Muggles and other interlopers. In the seventh book it is noted that the neighbours had long ago come to terms with the fact that the houses on their street went straight from 11 to 13. It is as secure as any magical dwelling can be and can accommodate a large number of people. For this reason, it was chosen as the headquarters of the reconstituted Order of the Phoenix when Sirius offered it to the Order. Only magical persons can see it, and only if told the location by the Secret Keeper himself. Now it serves as a home to Andromeda and her grandchildren, Theodore and Kory Lupin. She had bought the place after her husband had died.

The Leaky Cauldron

The Leaky Cauldron is a pub and inn for wizards, located on the Muggle street of Charing Cross Road in London, offering food, drinks and rooms to rent. It was founded by Daisy Dodderidge (1467–1555) in 1500 "to serve as a gateway between the non-wizarding world and Diagon Alley." The current barman and innkeeper is a wizard named Tom.

Diagon Alley
(16 sub-boards)

High street located in London. It is accessible to the wizarding world, to which it is something of an economic hub, but hidden from Muggles. However, Muggles are allowed access to it if they need to accompany their Muggle-born magical children. If a wizard or witch needs something, chances are that it can be found in Diagon Alley.

King's Cross railway station Platform 9¾

The Hogwarts Express is a magical intercity train that carries students between London and Hogsmeade. The train starts from King's Cross railway station Platform 9¾ and goes non-stop to Hogsmeade rail station. Prefects of the school ride in a separate carriage near the front of the train.

Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry
The Ground Floor
[ ]
The Entrance Hall

The entrance hall is a large rectangular room lit by many torches. This room leads you into the great hall, the dungeons, and to the grounds. In the middle of this room is a staircase that will lead you straight to the first floor followed by the moving spiral staircases.

00
[ ]
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.

The Music Room

Not only are Hogwarts Sudents gifted with magic, but with other talents as well. Such as music. Mostly this classroom is a chior class, but also offers other musical classes.

00
[ ]
The Portrait Hall

There is a smaller antechamber connected to the Great Hall, door behind the teachers' table, with a fireplace and many portraits (including that of the Fat Lady's friend Violet) off the Great Hall.

00
[ ]
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.

00
The Dungeons
[ ]
Potions Class

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.

00
[ ]
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.

00
[ ]
The Kitchens

The kitchen is 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.

00
[ ]
Dungeon Halls

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. One through four are all dungeons used for potions class, many of them contain cauldrons or ingredients.

00
[ ]
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.

00
First Floor
[ ]
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.

00
[ ]
History of Magic

History of Magic is the only class in Hogwarts that is taught by a ghost. 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.

00
[ ]
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 professor's desk.

00
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.

00
[ ]
Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom

It has been a long, long time 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.

00
[ ]
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.

00
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.

00
[ ]
Third Floor Corridor

Students be warned that do not wonder to off and open the left hand corrider. You might end up stairing a three headed dog in the faces.

00
[ ]
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.

00
[ ]
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. A few rows of desks stand before a tall pile of books, which Flitwick usually stands on to, teach class. Off to the side of the large windows are two cabinets, which hold cushions, extra books, feathers, and everything else Flitwick needs to teach his class.

00
Fourth Floor
[ ]
Library
(1 sub-board)

Every book ever written by a Wizard, Witch, or even by a Muggle, can be found within the Library. The library is a large room filled with all sorts of books, some of which you have to get permission from a teacher to read, these books are located in the restricted section. Where there isn’t a shelf there is a table, for students to study at. Each table is near a stain glass window much like the ones located in the Hospital Wing that is right below it.

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.

00
Fifth Floor
[ ]
Prefect's Bathroom

Beside the statue of Boris the Bewildered on the Fourth Floor Corridor lays the Prefects' bathroom. This Bathroom is only for prefects. You must have a password to get into it. Once inside there is a portrait of a mermaid upon the wall, and in the middle of the room is a bathtub, one which many faucets run into. The room and the water are always usually warm, and comforting. It is not rare for prefects to slip away from their activities just to soak in the comforting bath.

00
Sixth Floor
[ ]
The Empty Office

An empty office at the end of this hall to the dead end. It leads into a dark and gloomy office that usually rattles and shacks from its dark past.

00
[ ]
The Vanishing Room

This room located on the Sixth Floor vanishes in the morning, and appears at night. Many who venture into it calm that it is filled with Blast-Ended Skrewts. Others say it is filled with chocolate frogs. Dumbledore once walked into this room and found himself in a room of chamber pots. Beware of this room; you don’t know what lies behind the door.

00
Seventh Floor
[ ]
Gryffindor Common Room

The Gryffindor Common Room is hidden behind a portrait of a fat lady in a pink dress. The circular room itself is made up of red and gold banners, the couches all align around the large fire place, as spiral staircases lead up to the dormitories and once up the stairs there is a hall where tables stay where students are often seen studying.

00
[ ]
Divination

On the Seventh Floor you’ll find a ladder that leads up into a tower into a circular room, where Divination is taught. If you’ve ever wondered about your future, you might want to attend one of these classes. The inside of the room usually smells of a heavy perfume from a fire that burns along one of the walls. Around the students are small windows, but there aren’t many.

00
[ ]
The Room of Requirement

Need a place to hide? Try the Room of Requirements located on the Seventh Floor. The room alters to what you want it to be, the instant you pull open the door, whether it be a room filled with candy or just a normal broom closet. There are a lot of students that don’t know that this room exists.

00
Towers
[ ]
The Headmaster's Office

Hidden behind a gargoyle on the third floor is a spiral staircase that leads up to the Headmaster's Office. The office itself is a round room filled with many metal interments that do all kinds of things, some play music while others float above the tables. Almost every inch of the walls is taken up by portraits of old Headmasters, or very great Wizards in history. In the middle of the room is a desk, next to it is a perch where a Phoenix is suppose to sit.

00
[ ]
Ravenclaw Tower

It may appear as a simple wardrobe seventh floor, but if you are to pass through it, you’ll find yourself in the Ravenclaw Tower. This circular tower is the Ravenclaw’s common room. Much like the Gryffindor common room, blue couches sit by the glowing fire place, bronze and blue banners hang off walls, tables are set up around the fire place for students to study, and there are two spiral staircases that lead to the dormitories.

12
[ ]
Astronomy Tower

Pass through a door on the right floor on the Seventh Floor and you’ll find yourself going up a spiral staircase. At the top you’ll find a flat surfaced, circular roof, a guard rail surrounds the tower, and one each hand rail is a golden telescoped use to observe the stars at night. This place is peaceful in the morning and even more so at night.

00
[ ]
The Owlery

If you need to send someone a letter, you’ll find your owl in this round tower. The floor of the owlery is covered in owl droppings. Upon perch after perch, you’ll find different types of owls. The school itself lets students take their owls to send to their fathers, mothers, friends and family.

00
[ ]
Clock Tower

Located near the charms classroom is the Clock Tower. This large tower faces the front golden gates of the school. A pendulum at the bottom of the tower swings back and forth, as the hands move at the top. This is the perfect place to study, since it is usually quiet.

00
Hogwarts Grounds
The Grounds
[ ]
The Courtyard

The Hogwarts Courtyard is a great place to study. Located outside of the Hogwarts, the courtyard is enclosed by four walls. A fountain of a bird with its wings spread, stands in the middle of the courtyard. A few benches are set around this fountain. It is a great meeting place for all students. It is also the place that the students get together to preceded down to Hogsmeade Village.

00
[ ]
The Black Lake

South of Hogwarts Castle, nestled between two hills, lays the lake. This is a gathering spot for many students for a lot of reason. It is one of the most peaceful places, to go that isn’t in Hogsmeade or in the castle. The sound of calm waves washing up against the shore fills the air around it. Mermaids swim below it, along with the many other water dwellers such as, Grindylows and a Giant Squid.

00
[ ]
The Lawns

The lawns of Hogwarts cover each side, and extended from the lake to the forbidden forest. Path ways from the steps of Hogwarts lead to the Quidditch pitch, the lake, the courtyard and the pumpkin patch. It is common for students to be on the lawns when class is not in session. It is rather peaceful in the morning, and more so at night. Even though rules prohibit students to get out of bed at night, they still do it.

00
[ ]
The Quidditch Pitch

The Quidditch Pitch is located behind the castle, near the lake. Three golden goal post stand at each end of this oval shaped field. In the middle of it is a white circular line where the game starts. Around the field are eight large stands that are high in the sky, for the students to watch the game. On most days the green grass of the field shimmers in the bright sunlight of day.

[ ]
The Forbidden Forest

Beware when you enter this forest, it tends to hide secrets. At first glass the forest doesn’t seem that dense, but venture further in and you’ll find it to be a deadly place. Wild creatures such as Werewolves, Unicorns, Giant Spiders, and Centaurs roam the forest. The ground of the forest has a blue tint to it at night. A fog usually hangs in the air at night. In the morning, the Forbidden Forest isn’t as dangerous as it is at night.

00
[ ]
The Pumpkin Patch

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, near Hagrid’s Hut, lies the pumpkin patch. It is located in a clearing between the trees. A small wooden fence stands in place around the raw soil, which the huge enchanted pumpkins grow from.

00
[ ]
Care of Magical Creatures

This class is held, just inside of the Forbidden Forest, where there is a gap in the trees. It is located off the stone path that leads down to Hagrid's hut. There is a sign that reads, 'Care of Magical Creatures' near it. Beware this class sometimes results in loss of limbs.

Hogsmeade
(9 sub-boards)

Hogsmeade Village, or simply Hogsmeade is the only settlement in Great Britain inhabited solely by magical beings, and is located to the northwest of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was founded by medieval wizard Hengist of Woodcroft.[26] Students of Hogwarts who are in their third year and above are permitted to visit Hogsmeade during scheduled visits, to shop and mingle with friends unchaperoned, as long as they have a signed permission slip from a parent or guardian. Mainly, students frequent a high street in the Village which contains the named specialty shops and pubs in the series. Otherwise, they wander on to observe the infamous Shrieking Shack.

00

The Burrow

The Weasleys' home, known as The Burrow, is located outside the village of Ottery St Catchpole, also near the home of the Lovegoods, the Diggorys and the Fawcetts. The Weasley house has seven floors. It is also quite dilapidated, managing to remain standing only by magic. Despite the house's rundown appearance, Harry remarks on his first visit that it was the best house he had ever been in and it comes to be his second favourite place in the universe (after Hogwarts). The well-hidden orchard nearby doubles as a Quidditch pitch for the Weasley boys and (secretly) Ginny Weasley. Real Quidditch balls cannot be used in case they escape and fly over the Muggle village. A multitude of garden gnomes infests the garden of the Burrow.

00
[ ]
The Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic is the Government for the Magical community of Britain

00
[ ]
Azkaban

Azkaban is the wizard prison. Wizards who violate the laws of the British wizarding world are sent there. Only one other such prison, Nurmengard, is known to exist. According to Half-Blood Prince, Azkaban is located "in the middle of the North Sea". Sirius Black mentions that when he (as a dog) swam to Britain from Azkaban, he then travelled northwards to get to Hogwarts. This implies that Azkaban is located at a lower latitude than Hogwarts, which is in Scotland.
