HOGWARTS CASTLE
Entrance Hall Double oak front doors, opening to the west. It is a large, cavernous room, lit by torches, with ceiling so high it's barely visible. Wide marble staircase opposite the front doors (east wall) leads up to first floor. Double doors to the right (south wall) lead into the Great Hall. On the east wall are two doors, one on either side of the staircase. To the north of the staircase is a door leading down a flight of steps to the first dungeon level. To the south is a door leading to the Hufflepuff common room and the kitchens. On the left (north wall) is a door leading to a smaller antechamber where First Years wait to be sorted.

Hallways and Corridors There are many things that lurk in the halls. Many students feel as though they are being watched, and it isn’t by the portraits. There are thousands of secrets around Hogwarts, like secret doors and rooms. If you walk around long enough, you'll probably find one or the other. The hallways also lead to many of the classrooms. Don't get lost!

Hospital Wing Are you sick or injured? This is the place for you. The matron can heal all your woes with the flick of a wand, but don't think you'll get off easily. Most likely you'll be confined for several days.

Library Not as lovely as it used to be. Many of the books that were related to muggle life were destroyed during the takeover. The forbidden section has grown to include two other sections, both of which the Castus Blood House can gain access.

The Kitchens Located directly below the Great Hall and behind a large painting of a bowl of fruit lays the Kitchens, where the house elves are worked to their scrawny bones, convinced they aren’t free. The kitchens are usually off limits during feasts or special occassions, but at all other times, the house elves are more than willing to help you get a midnight snack.

Room of Requirement The Room is located on the seventh floor, opposite a tapestry showing Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to dance the ballet. To make the Room appear, a person has to walk past the section of blank wall three times concentrating hard on what is needed. The only room untouched by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. For some mysterious reason it has failed to make an appearance to those who known of it’s location

HOUSES
Gryffindor (3 sub-boards) The entrance to the Gryffindor tower is located on the entrance of the seventh floor, behind a large painting of a Fat Lady in a pink silk dress. If you know the right password to tell her, she swings open to reveal a round opening in the wall.

Hufflepuff (3 sub-boards) The Hufflepuff house can be accessed through a still life painting found near the kitchens. To reach it, you enter a door to the right of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall and down a staircase there.

Ravenclaw (3 sub-boards) The Ravenclaw Tower is located on the west side of the castle. The entrance is a door at the top of a tightly winding spiral staircase that leads up from the fifth floor. The door has neither handle nor keyhole, but a talking bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. Rather than asking for a conventional password, the knocker will ask a question; if answered correctly, the knocker will compliment the person on the answer and the door will swing open.

HOGWARTS GROUNDS
Courtyard Already filled with crumbling gargoyles, the new staff doesn’t really care about fixing old and new damage. It adds character and is usually a very soothing place to relax with your friends, especially during the warmer seasons.

Black Lake Once filled with life, the lake seems like a watery wasteland. The giant squid hasn't come out to sunbath for three years, and it is rumored the merfolk abandonned it only a few months after the attack on Hogwarts.

Quidditch Pitch The pitch is for the games and practices of the quidditch teams. However, other students have found their way onto the pitch for a good lap around the field.

Forbidden Forest To the east of Hogwarts castle is a large, dark forest. This forest is strictly off limits to Hogwarts students. Much of the forest population has abandoned it, all except the dark creatures and the centraus who haven’t been sighted in quite some time. A more frightening through is that the forest is growing. Over the past five years it seems Hogwarts has lost ten feat to the forest. The other idea is that someone just can’t count.
