Located in the basement near the kitchens, down the staircase to the right of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall.

Large enough to accomodate a double class (about twenty cauldrons). Icy cold water pours from a gargoyle's mouth into a basin in the corner. It's so cold that students can see their breath in this room during the winter months.

Entrance is a hidden door in a blank stone wall, opens by password. A labyrinth of corridors separates this entrance from the stone staircase leading up to the Entrance Hall

Some third years accidentally plastered frog brains all over the ceiling in this dungeon, which suggests that it is used for making potions. Large enough for a Deathday party.

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.

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 (OP28, OP38). Presumably Hufflepuff's hourglass contains some sort of yellow gemstone.

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 (this order may possibly be reversed, depending on how you orient the room to the entrance hall). The teachers sit at the High Table, a table on a raised platform at the front of the room.

Located off the Entrance Hall, opposite the Great Hall. Where first years wait to be sorted.

Located off the Entrance Hall.

Long panelled room. Mismatched, dark wooden chairs. Large wardrobe, sometimes inhabited by a boggart. Located off the Entrance Hall.

One of several unused classrooms.

Has windows all around the room. Has an iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling. This is one of the few rooms that actually looks normal.

Madam Pomfrey's hospital wing is located on the first floor. She can fix you up with any potion or charm in a matter of seconds unless it's really severe.

The Trophy Room holds thousands of different types of trophys from quidditch wins to house cups. Don't get caught when you try to sneak out after hours or you'll end up polishing these trophys as your punishment.

Moaning Myrtle's bathroom is abandoned and the perfect place to cook up an illegitimate potion or just check up on the ghost herself to stop her from her incessant crying.

Transfiguration class teaches you how to change yourself into different forms like a cat or a teapot or even a watch to keep yourself on time to class.

The deputy headmistress' office is located on the second floor. This is where you can find them during the day time when they aren't busy doing work for the headmaster.

The Headmaster's office is located on the third floor. Make sure to tell the password to the gargoyles and let the staircase lead you up.

The Charms Classroom shows you many things like wand usage and different spells.

Off-limits to any student in the school. Do not disobey the rules or you might end up staring in the eye something you wish you hadn't.

Find the classroom of Arithmancy or math here.

The Divination Classroom is located on the seventh floor. Here you can learn the powers of fortune telling, tea-leave reading, palm reading and more.

The Room of Requirement holds anything you might need. In order to get to it, you must pace back and forth three times and think in your head what exactly you need.

The Blue and Silver RavenClaw common room is located on one of the highest towers. On the West side of the Castle.

The perfect place to view the stars and the moon at night. The windows give you the perfect view and they make a good place to sit down. Also used for astronomy lessons.

Itching to send a letter to your parents or someone else? The owlery is the perfect place, even if your owl isn't always here, the school's owls will be happy to do the job.

The clock tower overlooks the school and gives the perfect place to hide out. You can see people walking around the school and it gives a perfect view of the lake.

The beautiful Gryffindor common room is located in a lower tower of Hogwarts.

The Quidditch Pitch is used by students who are in need of practice or students practicing for their house teams. A game between two houses is played here during the school year and at the end of the year there's a special cup that is given to the house that beats each team.

Not the best place to swim but it sure takes the cake when it comes to peacefullness. If you need peace and quiet, the black lake is the perfect place to sit out on a rock and enjoy the scenery. Hey you might even see something inside of the lake that intrigues you.

The Forbidden Forest is exactly like it sounds like, forbidden. Students are not allowed to venture inside the forest and if they do, punishment is severe. What this forest holds is many magical creatures, some good but others evil.

Planted just a few years ago, the Whomping Willow is a large, vicious tree that enjoys flailing its limbs and hitting things. You'd best not get too close to this violent tree! Several students have been foolish enough to mess around with it, and they have suffered injuries.

The Three Broomsticks is one of the local pubs in Hogsmeade. It is known for its delicious butterbeer and its beautiful owner Madam Rosmerta, who lives above the pub. The Three Broomsticks is a favourite pub among Hogwarts students and staff.

Hogsmeade Station is the closest train stop to Hogwarts; the Hogwarts Express stops here after travelling from King's Cross.

The Hog's Head is another pub, which often attracts a more unusual and private clientele than the Three Broomsticks, and many of the customers hide their faces. The hanging sign on the front of the pub has a severed boar's head, leaking blood onto the white cloth around it. The pub itself is filthy, with the floor covered with layers of dirt, and the windows smeared with so much grime that little light gets through. The main floor is a single room, but there are additional rooms on the upper floors. The bartender is Aberforth, the suspected brother of Albus Dumbledore.

A shop that sells and repairs magical equipment, Dervish and Banges is located near the end of the High Street.

Scrivenshaft's is a stationery shop located on the High Street.

Gladrags Wizardwear sells clothing. There are other branches in London and Paris. It is full of quirky merchandise, and appears to specialise in strange and unusual socks.

Located on a little side street off the main High Street, this small tea shop is a favourite among Hogwarts couples out on dates. On Valentine's Day Madam Puddifoot hires floating golden cherubs to throw pink confetti on visiting couples.

Honeydukes is one of the most famous wizarding sweetshops in the world. It sells wizarding sweets of all descriptions, including Chocolate Frogs, Licorice Wands, Pepper Imps, Chocoballs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Fizzing Whizzbees, Droobles Best Blowing Gum, Toothflossing Stringmints, Ice Mice, Cockroach Clusters, Jelly Slugs, Acid Pops and Sugar Quills, among others.

They also sell creamy chunks of nougat, shimmering pink squares of coconut ice, fat, honey-coloured toffees, and hundreds of different kinds of chocolate. The owners, Ambrosius Flume and his wife, live in a flat above the shop. There is a trapdoor in the cellar of Honeydukes, which connects to a secret passage. The passage leads to a statue of a one-eyed witch on the third floor of Hogwarts.

The post office is filled with at least two–to–three–hundred owls, ranging from Great Grey Owls to tiny Scops (the latter for "local deliveries only"), hooting down from colour-coded shelves. The shelves are colour-coded based on how quickly they will arrive at their destination.

This house is supposed to be the most haunted building in Britain,and even the Hogwarts ghosts avoid it. The only known way to access it is by a passageway underneath the Whomping Willow tree on the Hogwarts grounds.

The Apothecary sells potions and potion ingredients. The shop is "fascinating" despite its very bad smell — a mixture of bad eggs and rotten cabbage. The inside includes barrels of slimy stuff on the floor; jars of herbs, dried roots and bright powders on the shelves; and bundles of feathers, strings of fangs and snarled claws hanging from the ceiling.

Some of the ingredients available are silver unicorn horns (for twenty-one Galleons each) and glittery-black beetle eyes (five Knuts a scoop). Both of these are basic Potions ingredients for Hogwarts students.

Florean Fortescue, the founder and shopkeeper, sold ice cream, including sundaes, that could be enjoyed at outdoor tables

Flourish & Blotts sells a great variety of books, including textbooks for Hogwarts courses and other books of general magical interest. In the back there is a corner devoted solely to Divination, which includes a small table stacked with titles like Predicting the Unpredictable: Insulate Yourself against Shocks and Broken Balls: When Fortunes Turn Foul. Another small display contains the book Death Omens: What to Do When You Know the Worst is Coming.

Madam Malkin's is a clothing shop next to Flourish & Blotts. It sells wizarding robes, including the standard Hogwarts-required plain black work robes, and dress robes. Madam Malkin, a squat witch known to wear mauve robes, and her assistants will tailor the robes to fit right in her shop.

Gringotts is the only known bank of the wizarding world and it is operated primarily by goblins. Wizards and witches keep their money and other valuables in vaults that are protected by very complex and strong security measures. Gringotts also offers Muggle-Wizarding currency exchange.

The Leaky Cauldron is a pub and inn for wizards, 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 Tom.

The Magical Menagerie is a magical creature shop that, besides selling magical creatures, also offers advice on animal care and health. The shop is very cramped, noisy and smelly, due to every inch being covered with cages. Among the creatures in the Magical Menagerie are enormous purple toads, a gigantic tortoise with a jewel-encrusted shell, poisonous orange snails, a fat white rabbit that can turn into a silk top hat and back, cats of every colour, ravens, Puffskeins, and a cage of sleek black rats that play skipping games with their tails.

Ollivanders is a magic wand shop described as narrow and shabby, with a sign that reads Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC in peeling gold letters over the door. The only display is a single wand lying on a purple cushion in the dusty window and inside there are countless narrow boxes piled neatly right up to the ceiling.

Mr. Ollivander, the pale-eyed, white-haired shopkeeper, makes and sells magic wands to witches and wizards as they enter school or break their old wands. He remembers each and every wand he has ever sold.

A great way to relieve boredom. Play some games and have a good time.
