Student Life:
The day begins at Hogwarts with breakfast in the Great Hall. Students sit at their own House table and can eat as well as
socialise, or finish homework. The Headmaster or Headmistress eats with the professors at the High Table placed at the far
end of the hall.
During breakfast, owls bring in the students' letters, consisting The Daily Prophet, letters
from players, or packages. Entering the classroom and sitting down will begin the start of the first class.
There are two long morning classes with a short break in between them for students to get to their next class. After
lunch, classes resume at, and there is a breakin the afternoon before your next class period. The classes
are about ten minutes in length and run 24/7. You have 7 classes a day, and you must complete 10 of each class before getting your final. First year students get Friday afternoons off, while sixth- and seventh-year students have several free periods during the week. In the evening, students eat their dinner in the Great Hall, after which they are expected to be in their common rooms. Astronomy classes take place late at night in the Astronomy Tower so you can find constellations in the sky. The four House dormitories have secret entrances, generally known only to members of that house and require a password (with the exception of the entrance to the Ravenclaw dormitory, where one is required to correctly answer a riddle) in order to gain entrance. Inside is the common room, which contains armchairs and sofas for the pupils, as well as tables for studying. There are fireplaces to keep the rooms warm, and students either relax here in the evenings or else complete their homework. There are notice boards in each common room too, as well as at other strategic points throughout the school. The students sleep in their House dormitories, which branch off from the common rooms. Each dormitory gets at four rooms; two for boys and two for girls (an enchantment prevents boys from entering the girls' area, although there is no spell to prevent the reverse from occurring). Each student sleeps in a large four-poster bed with bed covers and heavy curtains in the House colours, and thick white pillows. There is a bedside table for each bed.
On designated weekends, Hogwarts students in their third year or higher, with a signed permission slip, are permitted to
walk to the nearby wizarding village of Hogsmeade, where they can relax and enjoy the pubs, restaurants and shops. There
appears to be a good relationship between the school and the village, and the students get on well with the locals.
Favourite places in Hogsmeade include Honeydukes Sweetshop, Zonko's Joke Shop, clothing stores such as Gladrags
Wizardwear, the Shrieking Shack, rumoured to be the most haunted building in Britain (although this rumour was proven to
be false in the third book), the pubs The Three Broomsticks and The Hog's Head, and Madam Puddifoot's coffee shop.
Discipline:
Apart from losing points from a house, serious misdeeds at Hogwarts are punishable by detention.
According to the school caretaker, Argus Filch, detention meant subjection to various forms of torture until relatively
recently. Arthur Weasley claimed still to bear physical scars inflicted by Apollyon Pringle, Filch's predecessor. In
present times however, detention usually involves assisting staff or faculty with tedious tasks.
Professors seem to be able to punish students with relative impunity and can hand out detention, even for unsatisfactory
grades. Enforcement of rules outside of class mainly falls to the caretaker, with the assistance of the prefects. A
student's Head of House usually has the final say in disciplinary matters. However, during Umbridge's tenure at Hogwarts,
she quickly obtains the power to have the final say in any disciplinary actions whatsoever, due to an Educational Decree
(one of many) passed by Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge.
In the summer before their fifth year, two fifth year students from each House are picked to be prefects, which grants
them extra privileges and responsibilities (e.g. using the prefect's bathroom, controlling younger students and
disciplinary responsibilities; they remain Prefects, unless appointed Head Boy or Girl or stripped of their position, for
the rest of their school career. There are four to six prefects per house, all from the fifth, sixth and seventh year
students: if one of them has been appointed Head Boy or Head Girl, they are not replaced as Prefects. The leaders of the
student body, the Head Boy and Head Girl, are drawn from the seventh year students. Prefects
have the authority to give detentions for infractions. Quidditch house captains are given some of the same privileges as
Prefects, such as the Prefect's bathroom.
Secrets of Hogwarts
----------------------------------------------------
Hogwarts is home to many secret locations and passages.:
The hiding place of the Philosopher's Stone
Accessed by entering a trapdoor in the forbidden corridor on the third floor, and protected by a gauntlet of seven magical
challenges set up by the teachers.
* A giant three-headed dog named Fluffy placed specially to guard the trapdoor by Hagrid.
* Devil's Snare, grown by Professor Sprout.
* A room containing dozens of keys, charmed by Flitwick to sprout wings and fly near the ceiling. One of these keys
will unlock the door to the next section. However, in the film adaptation, the keys attack the seeker of the Stone.
* A large chessboard with an army of large chessmen, transfigured by McGonagall. To proceed to the door on the
opposite side, the person in question must beat the chessmen at a game of wizards’ chess where the player must risk his
life if he loses. Ron and Professor Quirrell are the only wizards to win the game of wizards’ chess.
* A room with a large troll inside. This is Quirrell's challenge.
* A series of potions, brewed by Snape. A logical riddle, not magic, has to be solved. There are two doors, blocked by
fire. One potion will allow the person to exit the way he/she arrived, another will allow him/her to proceed to the next
chamber, two are nettle wine, and the other three are poison.
* The Mirror of Erised can be found in the final chamber, further enchanted by Dumbledore to bestow the Philosopher's
Stone upon a seeker only hoping to acquire the stone but not use it for selfish means.
----------------------------------------------------
Chamber of Secrets:
The Chamber of Secrets, which is deep under the school, was home to an ancient Basilisk, intended to be used to
purge the school of Muggle-born students. Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, built the Chamber before he
left the school.
The Chamber is well hidden and the entrance is in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom on the second floor, which leads down into a
dark, slimy stone tunnel. There are many skeletons of small animals littering the floor and even a gigantic skin shed by
the Basilisk. The tunnel leads to a solid wall, carved with two entwined serpents with emeralds for eyes. When Parseltongue is spoken they open into a very long, dim corridor, lined with monumental statues of snakes, including two
towering stone pillars with more carved serpents that brace the ceiling. A colossal statue of Salazar Slytherin, looking
ancient and monkey-like, is at the center.
Moaning Myrtle's bathroom contains the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. The entrance is a sink with a snake scratched
onto the tap, opened by speaking Parseltongue. This causes the sink to open into a pipe large enough for a person to slide
down it. At the bottom of this chute is a tunnel leading to the Chamber of Secrets. When Tom Riddle opened the Chamber,
Myrtle was sulking in a stall. When she heard him, she opened the door, saw the Basilisk, and died immediately, becoming a
ghost. Her bathroom remains operational, but is rarely used by students because of Myrtle's disagreeable
presence and her habit of flooding it when she is distraught.
----------------------------------------------------
Passages
There are nine known secret passages in and out of the school. Filch knows just four of these while the Marauders (Remus
Lupin, Peter Pettrigrew, Sirius Black and James Potter) and the Weasley twins know of seven (the latter discovering the
Hog's Head passage just before the Battle of Hogwarts), though where some lead is unknown. The other five are:
A passage beneath the Whomping Willow, leading to the Shrieking Shack.
A passage behind a mirror on the fourth floor, which is caved in. It leads to Hogsmeade, but where in Hogsmeade it
leads to is unknown.
A passage beneath a one-eyed witch statue by the stairs to the Defence Against the Dark Arts, leading to the cellar
of Honeydukes. Speaking aloud the word ‘Dissendium’ to the witch allows access this passage; the hump on the statue then
opens and reveals the hidden passageway.
A link between two vanishing cabinets, one in the school and the other in Borgin and Burkes in Knockturn Alley. This passage is not shown on the Marauder's Map as it's not part of the castle itself.
passage in the Room of Requirement, leading to the Hog's Head bar, however due to the nature of the Room of
Requirement, it is possible that several passages to different locations could be accessed from it.
----------------------------------------------------
Room of Requirement:
Located on the seventh floor opposite an enormous tapestry depicting Barnabas the Barmy attempting to train trolls for the
ballet, the Room of Requirement appears only when someone is in need of it. To make it appear, one must walk past its
hidden entrance three times while concentrating on what is needed. The room will then appear, outfitted with whatever is
required. To the Hogwarts house-elves, it is also known as the Come and Go Room.
Dumbledore was first to mention the room, noting that he discovered it at five-thirty in the morning, filled with chamber
pots when he was trying to find a toilet. However, Dumbledore did not appear to know the Room's specific secrets." The Room can also answer to the desire of the wizard within the room.
Forbidden Forest
The Forbidden Forest is a large, dark forest in the boundaries of the school grounds. It is usually referred to simply as
"the Forest" and in the film series as the "Dark Forest". It is strictly forbidden to all students, except during Care of
Magical Creatures lessons and, on rare occasions, detentions.
Among the plant species within the Forest are trees such as beech, oak, pine, sycamore, and yew, as well as undergrowth
including knotgrass and thorns. Though the Forest is vastly dense and wild, there are a few paths and clearings. Hagrid,
who frequently travels into the Forest for various reasons, mostly makes these trails. The Forest is also home to an
assortment of creatures.
Hogwarts Express:
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 railway station. Prefects ride in the front of the bus.
