The Great Hall

The Great Hall is the main gathering area in the school located off the Entrance Hall. Students eat their meals, receive daily owl post, and have certain special events here. It is a large hall that can easily hold all of the school's students, staff, and guests. It has tall walls that reach up to the ceiling, which is covered with candles and enchanted to look like the sky above. At the front of the Hall is the staff table, which is designed to house the entire Hogwarts staff.

There are four long tables, each seating a different house. From the Entrance Hall to the back they are: Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Gryffindor.

The hour glasses that tally the House Points are located inside.

The highlight of the staff table is the throne-like chair in the centre of the table where the current Headmaster or Headmistress sits. The Great Hall, as well as serving the students and staff their meals is also the place in which many important events occur. These include, but are not limited to: the traditional Sorting Ceremony each year, exams, and Dueling Club. To the left of the staff table is a door which leads to a chamber with portraits.

During holidays or special occasions, the Hall is decorated to match the festivities.

The Professor will make any important announcements concerning the entire school here.
