Entrance Hall The Entrance Hall is entered up a flight of stone steps and through huge double oak front doors that face west. The Hall is lit by torches and is quite imposing, with a ceiling so high it is barely visible and a paved flagstone floor. A wide marble staircase opposite the front doors leads to the first floor. On either side of this staircase, there are two doors. One leads to the Hufflepuff common room and the kitchens, while the other leads to the dungeons. There is also a door on the left side of the Hall that leads to an antechamber where the first year students wait before the Sorting, as well as a broom cupboard off the Hall. The Hall is also home to the four House hourglasses where the House points are displayed for all to see	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
Great Hall The Great Hall is entered by double doors to the right of the Entrance Hall. The Great Hall is a vast chamber that contains four long tables for each of the four Houses. Closest to the doors is the Slytherin table, followed by Ravenclaw, then Hufflepuff, and finally the Gryffindor table next to the far wall. On a raised platform at the front of the room is the High Table where the staffs dine. The ceiling is enchanted so that it mirrors the sky as it currently appears outside. There are also high mullioned windows around the room that show the grounds outside. Behind the High Table, there is a smaller antechamber with a fireplace and many portraits, where the champions of the Triwizard Tournament gather	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

Library The library contains tens of thousands of books on thousands of shelves. The different sections include an Invisibility Section, a section on dragons, and the Restricted Section at the very back, barred by a rope. Students need a signed note of permission from a teacher to peruse the Restricted Section, as it holds books about powerful Dark subject matter that is never taught at Hogwarts, and is only used by older students studying advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts. Books in the Hogwarts library may be put on hold and the student's name added to a waiting list. Chocolate and presumably, all other food and drinks are forbidden in the library, which closes at 8:00 p.m.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
