Classroom 1A is a classroom located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 1B (also known as the Transfiguration Classroom) is where Transfiguration class is taught. The classroom is located on the ground floor around the Middle Courtyard. The classroom itself is big, surrounded by high windows, has four rows of three desks, and still has enough room for several cages and bookshelves, two chalkboards, and a desk for Professor McGonagall. Several candlesticks stand lit behind McGonagall's desk.

Classroom 1C is a classroom located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 1D is a classroom located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 1E is a classroom located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 2E is where Charms classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it is located on the third floor. The classroom has four long, large desks that are built like stairs, and are located on both sides of the classroom. There is also a large fireplace in the room, as well as several stacks of books, where Professor Flitwick lectured his pupils.

Classroom 3C is where Defence Against the Dark Arts class is taught. It is located on the third floor. In 1991, Professor Quirinus Quirrell taught in a different classroom because the Third Floor Corridor was out of bounds. An iron chandeleir hung from the ceiling, as well as a dragon's skeleton. On one end of the classroom stands a projector that is activated by magic. Several desks and tables can be found in the classroom as well as some sets of large windows. The classroom decoration had several changes over the years, spanning from lots of pictures of Gilderoy Lockhart to tons of skeletons and Shrunken Heads.

Classroom 3D is a classroom located on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, near the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Classroom 4F is where History of Magic classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 5B is a classroom located on the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 6A is where Study of Ancient Runes and Ancient Studies classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is located on the sixth floor of Hogwarts Castle, next-door to Classroom 6B, and includes some desks, a bookcase and a lectern for the teacher. Bathsheda Babbling taught Study of Ancient Runes in this room, and possibly Ancient Studies too, just like Septima Vector may teach both Advanced Arithmancy Studies and Arithmancy.

Classroom 6B is a classroom located on the sixth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 7A is a classroom where Arithmancy classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's located on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle, near Classroom 7B, Classroom 7C and the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. It includes number charts, a blackboard and rows of tables for students to sit in. Professor Septima Vector has presumably been teaching in this classroom since her employment as Arithmancy Professor. This may also be where Advanced Arithmancy is taught and by the same teacher.

Classroom 7B is a classroom located on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Classroom 7C is a classroom located on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle, off of the Fat Lady's Corridor.

This classroom is where Advanced Arithmancy Studies is taught, possibly by Professor Septima Vector. It is located in the Turris Magnus of Hogwarts Castle, apparently on the first floor. It has got three windows and a cupboard on a corner.

The Art Classroom is where both Art and Muggle Art classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is located on the fifth floor, where the classrooms for Muggle Studies, Muggle Music and Magic Music also are, and has six easels, three paintings on the walls, a cabinet, a table, and the teacher's desk. The classroom may have been the property of the former Muggle Studies professors; Quirinus Quirrell, his successor, Charity Burbage and Alecto Carrow, though it is unlikely that Carrow would teach wizards how to paint.

The Astronomy classroom is a circular room located on the top-most level of the Astronomy Tower. Accessed via a steep spiral stairway, this room is where Astronomy classes and practical examinations are held in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, taught by Aurora Sinistra. On the center of the room, there is a large armillary sphere and replica of the Earth. Crenellated ramparts and iron security railings are placed on the edge of the Tower, where students gaze the skies with their telescopes. Small decorative stone cherubs carrying celestial bodies and peering through telescopes are perched on the walls. Some glass cabinets located by the door are filled with astronomical devices and celestial models. A short flight of stairs leads to a smaller observatory where a fixed telescope is in place.

The Care of Magical Creatures classroom is where Silvanus Kettleburn taught Care of Magical Creatures until 1993. Some poisonous snails were kept there, which escaped in 1991. When Kettleburn retired and Rubeus Hagrid took over, the lessons took place by his hut.

The Divination Classroom is where Divination classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is located in the North Tower. It is accessible through a circular trapdoor and is described as looking like a cross between somebody's attic and an old-fashioned teashop. The Divination Staircase leads to this classroom.

Dungeon Five is a Potions classroom at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In 1993, some students created a mess in the dungeon, covering the ceiling with frog brains.

This classroom is located on the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle. Only Hermione Granger can access this classroom through a hidden entrance. There is another entrance which is accessed through the Muggle Studies Classroom. This room is inhabited by some rubber ducks attacking anyone who approaches them. There is a teacher's desk, possibly used by Charity Burbage, located in this classroom. It is not known which branch of Muggle Studies is studied in this classroom.

This classroom was used for the theoretical First Year Exams during the 1991–1992 school year. It was noted to be large and sweltering hot during the summer months.

There is an unused classroom on the first-floor corridor of Hogwarts Castle. It now seems to be used as a storage facility containing books, chairs, desks and several boxes.

There was a unused classroom in the First Floor Corridor of Hogwarts Castle. It contained a board with a map of Great Britain and a map of the Atlantic Ocean.

The Ghoul Studies Classroom was a classroom at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where Ghoul Studies classes were taught. It was located in the Hogwarts Turris Magnus just off the Serpentine Corridor, near Classroom 3C, the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, and Classroom 7A, Arithmancy.

Greenhouse One is where the first year Herbology classes are taught. The room has no dangerous species as it is for the first-year students. Second and subsequent year students take the class in Greenhouse Three, which has more advanced material.

Greenhouse Two is a greenhouse in which Herbology classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Greenhouse Three is where Herbology classes are taught to every student, except first-years because in Greenhouse Three there are several plants that they would not be able to cope with. The room has more dangerous species, such as the Venomous Tentacula, as it is for the advanced students. First year students take the class in Greenhouse One, which has no dangerous material.

Sub-board: Herbology Classroom

The Muggle Studies Classroom is where Muggle Studies classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is located on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle. Professors Quirinus Quirrell, a Male Professor, Charity Burbage and Alecto Carrow have all used this office.

The Music Classroom is a classroom located on the fifth-floor corridor of Hogwarts Castle. It is in this classroom that both the Music and Muggle Music classes are taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, by a male professor and possibly Charity Burbage or Filius Flitwick, respectively. This classroom features rows of music stands and stools, a drum kit, a piano and a conductor's stand as well as a blackboard on the wall.

The Potion-Mixing Room is a potions laboratory located in the Dungeons of Hogwarts Castle. It is used by advanced Potions students.

The Potions Classroom is where Potions classes are taught. The classroom used to be squared-sized, very large, with large tables and windows. From 1995-1996, the classroom was of an oval shape and relatively smaller, with small work tables. In 1996, the classroom was extended, adding space for more work tables.

This is an empty classroom located in the Sixth Floor Corridor of Hogwarts Castle.

The Study Hall is a room in Hogwarts Castle where students usually do their homework or study for the exams. It is overlooked by Madam Pince. This room may have been part of the library or in close proximity to it, because books were available for study in this room and because Madam Pince oversaw the study hall.

The Temporary Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom was used by Professor Quirrell between the years 1991-1992 while the third floor corridor was out of bounds. It has four pillars and in the middle a pedestal for the teacher. The classroom entrance is on the ground floor level around the Middle Courtyard.

The office of Filius Flitwick is a room in Hogwarts Castle, located near the West Tower on the Seventh Floor (thirteenth window from the right). The office contains portraits, a desk, and sleeping quarters.

Located in the Headmaster's Tower, the Headmaster's office is where all the headmasters stay while at Hogwarts.

Like the Hogwarts Houses, the Headmaster's tower requires a Password from anyone who wishes to gain entry to the room. The tower is guarded by a large and ugly stone gargoyle which rarely talks but is capable of doing so. The headmaster's office itself is a large circular room with many windows and many portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses. The portrait of the immediate predecessor of the current headmaster or headmistress hangs behind the head's desk. It is suggested that this is the largest of the paintings in the room, which, in turn, suggests that the paintings shrink by some degree once it is no longer the portrait of the immediate predecessor of the current headmaster or headmistress.

A office that was used by Horace Slughorn during his first job as Potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a particularly cramped room in which he held some Slug Club dinner parties in.

This office is located on Hogwarts Castle's Sixth floor. Once used by then-Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Galatea Merrythought, it is now used by Horace Slughorn, Potions Master. Its use after Professor Merrythought's retirement in 1945 in not known, although it can be assumed that it was left unnoccupied, as when Albus Dumbledore negotiated with Horace Slughorn that the latter resume his post of Potions master at Hogwarts in 1996, Slughorn demanded that he receive this particularly large office, implying that no other teacher had been using it. Fairly roomy, this office included a fireplace with two large sofas surrounding it, a round dinner table big enough to sit ten people and access to a private balcony. It had enough space to hold a Christmas party.

Minerva McGonagall's office was the place where Minerva McGonagall, the Transfiguration professor, worked and slept during her stay at Hogwarts. It is located on the first floor of the Defence Against the Dark Arts tower.

During their fifth year, the Gryffindor students went to this office to talk to Professor McGonagall about their academic future as she was their Head of House. There is a fireplace in this office, connected to the Floo Network, which was used by students during the 1996–1997 school year when they returned to Hogwarts, following the Christmas holidays. It is unknown whether she occupied this office due to her position as Transfiguration professor, Head of Gryffindor House, or Deputy Headmistress.

Pomona Sprout's office was the place where Pomona Sprout, the former Herbology teacher, worked and presumably slept during her stay at Hogwarts. It occupies one of the Herbology greenhouses. It is assumed Herbert Beery and Neville Longbottom also used this office during their tenures as Herbology Professors.

This office is a large room adjacent to the Hospital wing at Hogwarts Castle owned by Poppy Pomfrey, the matron. It contains a bookcase, a desk, two closets, two beds for patients, and another bed closed off from the room by a curtain.

During the 1996–1997 school year, after the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch match, Harry Potter cast the Muffliato spell on Pomfrey's office so that she would not hear Kreacher and Dobby fighting.

Rolanda Hooch's office is a room, located somewhere inside Hogwarts Castle. This is the office and house of Rolanda Hooch during the school year. It is said that the official Quidditch balls of Hogwarts are stored in her office between games, but Dobby was able to get in and jinx them, and Marcus Flint and Peregrine Derrick later managed to switch the crate with one with jinxed balls.

Room 234-00 is the room where Argus Filch lived in Hogwarts Castle. It is connected to the Entrance Hall, on the Ground Floor of Hogwarts Castle. It's a small, simple room with a single oil lamp hanging from the ceiling. It smells vaguely of fried fish. There are filing cabinets in it with details of the misdeeds of Hogwarts Students. Fred and George Weasley have an entire drawer for their own misdeeds. One of those cabinets are full of confiscated magic items marked "Confiscated and Highly Dangerous", in which Fred and George found the Marauder's Map. Filch kept his chains and manacles in this office (it's common knowledge that he always begged Dumbledore to allow him to hang students by their ankles as punishment), and kept them well polished.

Due to the office being owned by Filch, who is disliked by every student in Hogwarts, the students tended to avoid it at all costs. Harry, during his second year, was called in for punishment after tracking mud into the castle, and found a Kwikspell letter in this office, which eventually lead to him finding out Filch was a Squib.

This office is currently not occupied, but all that is known of this office is learned from it’s previous occupant, Severus Snape:

The office used by Severus Snape during his long tenure as Potions master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was a gloomy and dimly-lit room found in the school dungeons. The shadowy walls were lined with shelves of large glass jars filled with slimy, revolting things, such as bits of animals and plants, floating in potions of varying colours. Snape's collection grew over time - in 1994 Harry Potter noted there were more jars than in 1992, and by 1996, there were hundreds of them, even though Snape was no longer teaching the subject of potions. The office had a fireplace. In a corner, there was a cupboard containing Snape's private stock of Potions ingredients. In 1997, the office also contained a table, but it is unknown if it had been there before.

The office is sealed with a spell only wizards can break.

Hufflepuff is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its founder was the medieval witch Helga Hufflepuff. The Head of Hufflepuff is Pomona Sprout. The Fat Friar is the House's patron ghost. Hufflepuff is the most inclusive among the four houses, valuing hard work, patience, friendship and fair play rather than a particular aptitude in its members. Its emblematic animal is the badger, and yellow and black are its colours.

Hufflepuff corresponds roughly to the element of earth.

Ravenclaw is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, founded by Rowena Ravenclaw. Members of this house are characterised by their wit, intelligence, creativity, and wisdom. Its house colours are blue and bronze, and its symbol is the eagle. The house ghost, who in life was the daughter of the house's founder Rowena Ravenclaw, is the Grey Lady. Many great wizards and witches have come from this house, including Filius Flitwick and Luna Lovegood.

Ravenclaw roughly corresponds with the element of air.

Zonko's Joke Shop was a favorite place for Hogwarts students to shop on Hogsmeade trips as it carried "jokes and tricks to fulfill even Fred and George Weasley's wildest dreams." Such products were Dungbombs, Hiccough Sweets, Frog Spawn Soap, Sugar Quills and Nose-Biting Teacups.

During the events surrounding Lord Voldemort's second rise to power, Zonko's was closed and boarded up. Fred and George visited Hogsmeade with an eye towards the possibility of buying the premises and turning it into a Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes outlet.

Hogsmeade Station, also known as Hogwarts Station, is the railway station that serves both the village of Hogsmeade and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Hog's Head is an inn and pub in the all wizarding village of Hogsmeade. The bar at the Hog's Head comprises one small , very dirty, and dingy room that has bay windows that are so encrusted with filth that you can barely see through them. The place is filled with rough wooden tables that generally have nothing except the stubs of candles sitting upon their surfaces. The concrete floor of the place is so dirty that it looks as though there is not a floor at all, but instead that the building is simply built on open ground. The Hog's Head is owned and operated by Aberforth Dumbledore.

Dervish & Banges is a shop in Hogsmeade that sells and repairs magical instruments, including Sneakoscopes. It is located at the end of High Street.

Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop is a writing supplies store in Hogsmeade. It sells various quills, parchment and stationery needed for students at Hogwarts. The shop stock includes stationery such as rainbow ink and extra-large quills. However, students usually prefer to visit Zonko's Joke Shop or Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes when it comes to buying special quills such as joke quills and sugar quills. Scrivenshaft's is visited by Hermione Granger on at least one occasion when she wants to purchase a new quill.

Gladrags Wizardwear is a clothing store founded in 1750 ran by Gladrags Wizardwear Group Ltd., with branches in London, Paris and Hogsmeade. It is full of quirky merchandise and appears to specialize in strange and unusual socks.

Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop is located on a side street off the main road in Hogsmeade. It is a small tea shop owned by Madam Puddifoot, and was where Harry Potter and Cho Chang went to on Valentine's Day in 1996. It was also visited by Roger Davies and his girlfriend. It is very hot and steamy there, and also very cramped.

Honeydukes Sweetshop is one of the most famous wizarding confectioneries in the world. It sells wizarding sweets of all descriptions, including Chocolate Frogs, Liquorice Wands, Pepper Imps, Chocoballs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Fizzing Whizzbees, Drooble’s Best Blowing Gum, Toothflossing Stringmints, Ice Mice, Cockroach Clusters, Jelly Slugs, Blood Lollipops, Acid Pops and Sugar Quills, among others. They also sell creamy chunks of nougat, shimmering pink squares of coconut ice, fat, honey-coloured toffees, and hundreds of different kinds of chocolate.

The owners, Ambrosius Flume and his wife, live in a flat above the shop. There is a trapdoor in the cellar of Honeydukes, which connects to a secret passage which leads to a statue of a one-eyed witch on the third floor of Hogwarts. Fred and George Weasley give Harry the Marauder's Map which he uses to enter Hogsmeade through the passage into Honeydukes.

The Hogsmeade Post Office is a building in the village of Hogsmeade that houses at least two–to–three–hundred owls, ranging from Great Grey Owls to tiny Scops (the latter for "local deliveries only"), hooting down from colour-coded shelves. The shelves are colour-coded based on how quickly they will arrive at their destination.

Ron and Hermione visit it on the first time they go to Hogsmeade, and later tell Harry about it. When Harry uses the Marauder's Map and his Cloak of Invisibility to get to Hogsmeade, they point it out to him, as well as several other shops of interest, including Zonko's Joke Shop.

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is a wizarding hospital in London, England. It was founded by famous Healer Mungo Bonham in the 1600s. The emblem of St. Mungo's is a wand crossed with a bone.

To enter the premises, one may step through the window of what appears to be a red-bricked, condemned department store called Purge and Dowse, Ltd. This acts as a magical gateway to the main building, much like the barrier at King's Cross Station to Platform 9¾. The interior, on the other hand, looks exactly as a hospital should.

Azkaban is a wizard's prison located on an island in the middle of the North Sea. Presumably, it only serves the magical community of Great Britain, as there are other wizarding prisons elsewhere such as Nurmengard. Using certain Charms, the prison is hidden from the muggle world, and is unplottable. It gained a reputation as a horrible place, given that its former guards, Dementors, cause great suffering to those in their proximity; most prisoners eventually went insane and slowly died under their influence. Since 1717, using any of the three Unforgivable Curses on another human being has carried a punishment of a life sentence in Azkaban (unless there is sufficient evidence that the caster did so under the influence of the Imperius Curse).

King's Cross Station is considered one of the main train stations to serve London, England. Students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry take the scarlet steam engine named the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts from Platform 9¾ on 1 September at 11 AM sharp. It also serves as a major intercity and commuter rail hub for Muggles going to North London or Yorkshire and the North East and Scotland.

Surbiton Station is a railway station located in the Kingston borough in South London. There is a small café on one of the platforms. Surbiton is served by London commuter trains to London Waterloo, Woking, Guildford and Hampton Court as well as outer suburban trains to Alton and Basingstoke. From February 1996, all these rail services were operated by South West Trains.
