Places In Harry Potter Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour     In Diagon Alley, you can find this ice cream parlor. Any kind of ice cream is sold here, ranging from sundaes to double-scoops. All are sold by the magical and knowledgeable Florean Fortescue. Flourish And Blotts     In Diagon Alley lies Flourish and Blotts, the wizard bookshop. They carry every kind of wizard book, autobiographies, and history books, spell books, etc. Hogwarts students come here to buy their books before the start of term. Often, famous authors can be found here amidst the endless number of fans vying for their autograph. Honeydukes' Sweet Shop     Under the magnificent sweet shop of the all wizarding city of Hogsmeade runs a secret passageway. When you go through it, you will be extremely relieved to find yourself at the trapdoor that leads into the cellar of Honeydukes. Eager as your stomach may be to consume all the delicious sweets inside Honeydukes, you need to be careful because a rather rotund man often comes up to get more crates of various candies. Or, you can be like a normal witch or wizard and come through the front door. Lord Voldemort's Rebirth Graveyard     Lord Voldemort, the most feared Dark wizard of all time, reborns in June 1994, with the aid of Peter Pettigrew and Bartemius Crouch Junior. After he reborns, he calls his Death Eaters. They arrive, and form a circle. Below is a diagram of the circle.     In the center of the circle stood Lord Voldemort, and during his rebirth "party", Harry Potter was tied to the tombstone of Lord Voldemort's father, which also happened to be in the center of the circle. Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions     Another shop in Diagon Alley, Madam Malkin's Robes For All Occasions makes good business come start of Hogwarts term. Sometime Madam Malkin herself will assist you. In any case, she and her employees make beautiful robes for all occasions, and for nice prices too. Moaning Myrtle's Washroom     Moaning Myrtle's bathroom is deserted, and gloomy. There is one large, cracked mirror above a row of chipped sinks. The floor is usually wet, due to the fact that Myrtle likes to flood her toilet, of which she rarely comes out of. There are stubby candles which burn faintly; probably the only source of light. The doors to the stalls are torn and flaky, and Myrtle's constant moping keeps almost everybody away from this haunted, depressing bathroom. Number 4 Privet Drive     Outside of Number four Privet Drive, the lawn is green and tidy. Inside, it's even tidier. The once extravagant fireplace is now boarded up, and the once numerous fine china have been reduced in numbers. There is a cupboard under the stairs, where you might find a lonely, ugly, small sock. The kitchen is clean and spotless, and everything is put away neatly. Upstairs you will find four rooms, the smallest being bizarrely messy and inhabited by a snowy owl, a growing wizard, and the bodies of a few deceased mice. In one room, are many broken toys, and what looks like the bed of a severely obese teenager. In another room, are unknown items, though it would probably contain a bed and a bedside table. In the master bedroom sleep the master and mistress of the house, Mr. and Mrs. Dursley. Undoubtedly, the room is unbearably clean. Ollivander's Wand Shop     Every wizard or witch needs a wand. And no one sells finer wands in Diagon Alley then Ollivanders, in business since 382 B.C. The place is dusty and quiet, but that shouldn't ruin its reputation. Ollivander's has sold wands to famous and powerful wizards, such as Lily and James Potter, Harry Potter and even He-who-must-not-be-named. The wands comes in a narrow box, and there are seemingly thousands of wands, piled high to the ceiling. A very lovely selection of wands indeed, but you must remember: The wand chooses the wizard. Platform 9¾     Many young wizards, such as the famous Harry Potter, eagerly await the trip to Hogwarts from Platform 9¾. In order to do that though, they must go to King's Cross Station in London, by way of muggle transportation since it is a muggle train station. Between Platforms 9 and 10, there is a barrier. To any muggle this wall seems perfectly solid. But to Hogwarts students; however, it is the gateway to getting away from home and getting to Hogwarts. Through the barrier one goes, and then they find themselves among a horde of students, all saying goodbye to parents. Such is the bitter sweetness of platform 9¾. Professor Dumbledore's Office     The Headmaster's office is truly a safe and marvelous place to be. There you can find portraits of the former headmasters and headmistresses of Hogwarts, all probably snoozing away as soon as your muggle feet step inside the large, circular room. A number of amazing silver wizard instruments stand on long, narrow tables, and all work to perfection. Fawkes, the Headmaster's pet Phoenix should be there staring at you curiously, and the Sorting Hat might even say, Hello?! If you really want to be daring, you might want to find the Pensieve in a drawer, but it would suit you well to stay put, and wait for the headmaster to return from his duties, and to sit in his high chair as the supreme learned one of Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall's Classroom     Known to be one of Hogwarts' strictest teachers, Professor McGonagall is not someone to cross. She can change her furniture into farm animals. And if that doesn't shock you, you should see what she gives to students when they are in trouble. You shouldn't be late to her class, or else she might turn you into a pocket watch. So I suggest you take a seat in one of the many tables and pay rapt attention to her teachings of Transfiguration, sometimes shown on the drawing board. Professor Snape's Classroom     Almost every Hogwarts student dreads the dank, smelly classroom of Professor Severus Snape, but potions are required of every Hogwarts student below sixth year. So it is obviously very important to try and ignore the pickled animals floating in glass jars around you. It is very cold, and all around the classroom, in the various cabinets and jars are stored precious ingredients to make the most difficult potions, and various magical substances are also found here. The floor, which is made of stone, often falls victim to a cauldron spilling, and occasionally, a student can even escape the watchful eyes of the professor when this happens. Perhaps even long enough to make a quick dash to the cabinet to grab some shredded skin of boomslang. Rubeus Hagrid's Hut     The jolly half-giant, gamekeeper and Care Of Magical Creatures Teacher, lives in a small hut at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Inside is only one room, with a large bed in the corner. Game and fowl hang from the ceiling, and there is no stove, just an open fire. Undoubtedly, there are many cabinets that contain kettles, cooking pots and large tea mugs, some of which have held a rat in the past. St. Mungo's Hospital For Magical Maladies And Injuries     the magical hospital. The visitor's entrance is located on a Muggle street, through a department store called Purge & Dowse Ltd., which has a sign saying "Closed For Refurbishement", and you speak to a dummy named Wotcher. Tell her what you are here for, and she will nod and point with her finger. Enter the store through the glass, and you're in! Below is the hospital's layout: Ground Floor: Artefact Accidents First floor: Creature-Induced Injuries Second floor: Magical Bugs Third floor: Potions And Plant Poisoning Fourth floor: Spell Damage Fifth floor: Visitor's Tearoom/Hospital Shop IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHERE TO GO, UNCAPABLE OF NORMAL SPEECH, OR UNABLE TO REMEMBER WHY YOU ARE HERE, OUR WELCOMEWITCH WILL BE PLEASED TO HELP. The Burrow     Home to the wonderful red-headed Weasleys, the burrow apparently isn't very much to wizard standards. But to muggles it's fascinating and filled with magical creatures and accessories. It is several stories high, and rather cramped, but that makes it all the more cozy. Outside are chickens and gnomes, and various remnants of magical equipment and clothing. The kitchen is where you will most often find Mrs. Weasley, cooking for the many members of her family. There is a ghoul in the attic, and creaking stairs, and loud noises come from Fred and George's room. Here, Harry feels at home, and so do Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Ginny, Bill, Charlie, Arthur and Molly Weasley. The Defence Against The Dark Arts Classroom     Here, is Hogwarts most renowned class. The job, rumored to be jinxed, has head a new teacher every school year. The first year, when Professor Quirrel taught this class, you might have come out smelling strongly of garlic. When Gilderoy Lockhart took up the job, you would have learned about how he banished a banshee, or some equally heroic feat. The walls were covered with his pictures. When Professor Lupin taught, the classroom was filled with excitement, possibly about the fact that they were actually going to learn something, or because there was a terrifying monster at the front of the room. And Alastor Moody also taught, and then, the room was filled with dark arts detectors. But, the room got the biggest makeover when Dolores Jane Umbdrige came to Hogwarts. The room was astonishingly pretty in pink. The Forbidden Forest     All Hogwarts students are never allowed access to the Forbidden Forest, though some rule-breaking ones always find their way in. The Forbidden Forest takes up a good part of the Hogwarts' grounds, and it's filled with all sorts of horribly shaped trees that are large in size. Among the numerous magical creatures in the forest are centaurs, giant spiders, and even werewolves! Occasionally, you might come across something that resembles an oversized troll, but it's only a runty giant. However, there are also gentle and pure creatures such as the unicorn. As tempted as you might be to go and see the wonderfully white unicorns, it's best to stay out of the Forbidden Forest. The Great Hall     The Great Hall of Hogwarts is where all the meals, parties, and feasts are held. Normally, there are four long tables laid vertically, for the four houses of Hogwarts. A staff table lies horizontally at the head of the hall. Almost any kind of food is served, and the food is never terrible tasting, for it is made by excellent and obedient house elves. The food appears magically, and the candles hang in mid-air. The ceiling is enchanted to look like the sky outside and it is often filled with the loud hubbub of students stuffing themselves silly. The Gryffindor Common Room     Outside the haven of Gryffindor students is the portrait of the beloved Fat Lady. Give her the password and she will allow you entrance. Inside the Gryffindor Common Room are many comfy, cozy, squishy and squashy armchairs. Scattered are some tables that hold the spell books of tired and stressed students. Two staircases go separate ways, one to the girls' dormitory, and one to the boys'. But they all unite every once in a while for a good party hosted with snacks from Fred and George Weasley. The Hogwarts Express     The brilliant red train is one of the many treasured ways of transportation for Harry Potter. He can fly on his broomstick, travel by Floo Powder, get hurled by a portkey or nearly fall out of a flying Ford Anglia. In any which way, young Harry enjoys traveling on the steam engine the most. Mainly Hogwarts students ride it, as the only three adults ever to be reported on board are the food lady, the Hogwarts Express conductor and former Professor Remus J. Lupin. There have also been reports of missing toads, biting rats, and scary dementors on the wonderfully huge train. The Hogwarts Quidditch Pitch     This is where every student at Hogwarts wants to be. Some are just happy to be sitting in the raised seats, but some dream of flying around on the field, playing the glorious game of Quidditch. On either edge of the field are three fifty feet high hoops. The Hut-On-The-Rock     In a freezing cold sea, there lies a rather small rock (in comparison to the sea). On the rock, there is a dilapidated hut. Inside the hut, there are two rooms, and always, the incredibly wet smell of seaweed. The hut isn't very warm, although there is a fireplace, albeit of not much use since there is no wood and it's already wet. Just like the sea. The Leaky Cauldron     The Leaky Cauldron is a dark but cheery wizard pub and inn. Wizards can find refuge from curious muggle eyes in this comfy place. The Leaky Cauldron's owner and innkeeper, known as Tom, will be happy to assist you. In the back area, if a wizard takes out his or her wand, and taps the third brick from the left above the trash bin the wall turns into an archway that leads into Diagon Alley. So, the Leaky Cauldron is the haven for wizards and witches. Muggles can walk right by without even noticing. The Shrieking Shack     The Shrieking Shack scares the creeps out of little children who hear about it. It is the most haunted location in Britain, and adolescents enjoy teasing each other about the violent spirits who allegedly reside there. But, the Shrieking Shack no longer shrieks or shakes with horrifying noises. In fact, it has remained silent for years. Under the Whomping Willow, there is a secret passage that leads to the inside of the Shrieking Shack. The interior of this foreboding little shack is perhaps like any other house inhabited by a werewolf. The curtains are torn, it's awfully dust, and the bed is a mother's worst nightmare. Back in the day, a werewolf (young Remus Lupin) used to come in there and destruct the place after he transformed from a person to a werewolf. After that, three other rowdy boys would come in after him and they would have the time of their life. They were known as the Marauders: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs. The Slytherin Common Room     The Slytherin Common Room is underground, quite different from Gryffindor Tower. Lamps hang by chains from the rough ceiling, and add a greenish tinge to the room. Though the place is undoubtedly dark and rather gloomy, an elaborately carved mantelpiece hangs above a noisy but splendidly warm fire. And don't forget the stylish chairs that have oversized backs, to hide the Slytherin's cunning head. The Three Broomsticks     The Three Broomsticks is a magical saloon where almost any kind of drink is served. Students and Professors of Howgarts love to come in on chilly days for a wonderfully warm drink. It's usually quite crowded, and is generally not a good place to hold secret meetings (for students, that is). But the professors can get a nice private chat what with all the hubbub between students over chocolate frog cards. Zonko's Joke Shop     Here is where students go to fill their pockets with little toys to cause havoc. Dungbombs, Hiccup Sweets, Frog-spawn Soap, Nose biting teacups, and other hoodlum accessories are sold here. Fred and George Weasley, along with Lee Jordan, practically pick the store clean. Though I'm sure they aren't the first. The Marauders were the first of their kind. Search The Web Copyright Information © Copyright 2004-2008 Lord Voldemort. All rights reserved.
