| ~ CREATURES ~ | ||||
| Fluffy | A monstrous dog that filled the whole space between ceiling and floor with: three heads; three pairs of rolling, mad eyes; three noses, twitching and quivering; and, three drooling mouths with saliva hanging in slippery ropes from yellowish fangs. All six eyes were staring at them and it was growling. | 1 | 160 | |
| Aragog | A vast, low-slung, hairy body and a tangle of black legs; a gleam of many eyes and a pair of razor-sharp pincers. It scuttled away down the corridor. | 2 | 247 | |
| Bane | Harry recognized the black-bodied and bearded Bane whom he had met four years ago. | 5 | 698 | |
| Firenze | This one looked younger. He had white-blond hair and a palomino body. He had astonishingly blue eyes. | 1 | 256 | |
| white-blond hair and astonishingly blue eyes. The head and torso of a man joined to the palomino body of a horse. | 5 | 599 | ||
| Magorian | A man's naked torso seemed for an instant to be floating toward them thorugh the dappled green half-light. They saw that his waist joined smoothly with a horse's chestnut body. This Centaur had a high-cheekboned face and long black hair. He was armed with a quiverful of arrows and a long bow slung over his shoulders. | 5 | 697 | |
| Ronan | To the waist, a man, with red hair and a beard, but below that was a horse's gleaming chestnut body with a long, reddich tail. | 1 | 252 | |
| Chinese Fireball | A red dragon with an odd fringe of fine gold spikes around its face, which was shooting mushroom-shaped fire clouds into the air. | 4 | 326 | |
| Common Welsh Green | A smooth-scaled green dragon which was writhing and stamping with all its might. | 4 | 326 | |
| Hungarian Horntail | Four enormous, fully grown, vicious-looking dragons were rearing onto their hind legs roaring and snorting torrents of fire into the sky from their open, fanged mouths, fifty feet above the ground on their outstretched necks. It was a giagantic black one, more lizard-like than the others. It can shoot fire 40 feet. Stupefied, it teetered dangerously on its back legs, then fell slowly hitting with a thud that made the trees quake. Nesting mothers are vicious. Its back end is as dangerous as its front with bronze-colored spikes protruding along it every few inches. It had vertical pupils, like a cat, bulging with either fear or rage… making a horrible noise, a yowling, screeching scream… A strip of gleaming yellow beneath its wrinkled black eyelids. | 4 | 326 | |
| It was crouched at the other end of the enclosure, crouched low over her cement-colored clutch of eggs, her wings half-furled, her evil, yellow eyes upon him, a monstrous, scaly black lizard, thrashing her spiked tail, leaving yard-long gouge marks in the hard ground. | 4 | 353 | ||
| Norbert | A huge black egg of a Norwegian Ridgeback- a very rare dragon. A funny clicking noise was coming from it. An ugly baby dragon hatched from it looking like a crumpled, black umbrella. Its spiny wings were huge compared to its skinny jet body, it had a long snout with wide nostrils, the stubs of horns and bulging, orange eyes. When it sneezed sparks flew out of its snout. It snapped at Hagrid's fingers showing pointed fangs. | 1 | 233 | |
| Sweedish Short-Snout | A silvery-blue dragon with long, pointed horns, snapping and snarling at the wizards on the ground. | 4 | 326 | |
| Fridwulfa | It was my mother, Hagrid said, She was one o' the las' ones in Britain. 'Course, I can' remember her too well… she left, see. When I was abou' three. She wasn' really the maternal sort. Well… it's not in their natures, is it? Dunno what happened to her… might be dead fer all I know… | 4 | 427 | |
| Golgamath | He wore Karkus's helmit and leered at us. He was massive with black hair and matchin' teeth an' a necklace o' bones. Human-lookin' bones, some of em. | 5 | 431 | |
| Grawp | Asleep on the ground in front of them, the giant didn't look just like a big man, as did Hagrid; but, was strangely misshapen. His head had been mistaken for a giant mossy boulder, larger than a human's in proportion. It was almost perfectly round and covered with tightly curling, close-growing hair the color of bracken. The rim of a single large, fleshy ear was visible on top of the head, which seemed to sit, rather like Uncle Vernon's, directly upon the shoulders with little or no neck in between. The back, under what looked like a dirty brownish smock comprised of animal skins sewn roughly together, was very broad, and as Grawp slept, it seemed to strain a little at the rough seams of the skins. The legs were curled up under the body; Harry could bee the soles of enormous, filthy, bare feet, large as sledges, resting on top of the other on the earthy forest floor. | 5 | 693 | |
| The clearing was now a forest of bows and arrows waiting to be fired, all pointing upward a the enormous grayish face now looming over them from just beneath the thick canopy of branches. Grawp's lopsided mouth was gaping stupidly,. They could see his bricklike yellow teeth glimmering in the half-light, his dull sludge-colored eyes narrowed as he squinted down at the creatures at his feet. Broken ropes trailed from both ankles. He said "Hagger"… but Harry was watching his feet which were almost as long as Harry's whole body. His huge round head moved from side to side as he peered at them as though looking for something that he had dropped. | 5 | 757 | ||
| Karkus | overload them with information and they'll kill you just to simplify things. | 5 | 0 | |
| He was the "gurg" (the chief). The biggest, ugliest, an' the laziest. Sittin' there waitin' ter be brought food by the others. He was twenty-two feed an' the weight of a couple o' bull elephants. Skin like rhino hide an' all. | 5 | 427 | ||
| Gringotts Guards | The goblin was about a head shorter than 11 year old Harry. He had a swarthy, clever face, a pointed beard and very long fingers and feet. | 1 | 72 | |
| Dobby | His enormous, green, tennis-ball-shaped eyes were briming with tears of happiness. He had a pencil-shaped nose, batlike ears, and long fingers and feet. His clothes, however, were very different. Instead of a dirty old pillowcase he now wore a tea cozy for a hat with a number of bright badges pinned on it; a tie patterned with horseshoes over a bare chest, a pair of what looked like children's soccer shorts, and odd socks. One of these was the black one Harry had removed from his own foot and tricked Mr Malfoy into giving Dobby to free him. | 4 | 375 | |
| Dobby appeared, in the middle of a fight with Kreachur, wearing a shrunken maroon jumper and several wooly hats. | 6 | 419 | ||
| Hogwarts House Elves | At least a hundred little elves were standing around the kitchen, beaming, bowing, and curtsying as Dobby led Harry past them. They were all wearing the same uniform: a tea towel stamped with the Hogwarts crest, and tied, as Winky's had been, like a toga. | 4 | 376 | |
| Hokey | In the memory Harry saw the tiniest house elf he had ever seen. The top of her head barely reached the seat of Hepzibah's chair and her papery skin hung off her frame just like the crisp linen sheet she wore draped like a toga. | 6 | 433 | |
| Kreacher | Except for a filthy rag tied like a loincloth around its middle, it was completely naked. I looked very old. Its skin seemed to be several times too big for it and though it was bald like all house-elves, there was a quantity of white hair growing out of its large, bat like ears. Its eyes were a bloodshot and watery gray, and its fleshy nose was large and rather snout like. Acting like it couldn't see them, it shuffled hunchbacked, slowly and doggedly, toward the far end of the room, muttering under its breath all the while in a hoarse, deep voice like a bullfrog's. | 5 | 107 | |
| After being missing for some time Kreacher was in a better mood, his bitter mutterings had subsided, submitted to orders more dociley, but stared @ HP which made HP suspicious. | 5 | 516 | ||
| A house-elf with a snout for a nose, giant bat's ears and enormous bloodshot eyes, crouching on the Dursleys' shag carpet and covered in grimy rags. He repeatedly said "Kreacher won't, Kreacher won't, Kreacher won't" stamping his long gnarled feet and pulling his ears. | 6 | 51 | ||
| When Harry called him he was in the middle of a fight with Dobby over his having maligned Harry. He was wearing a filthy old rag strung over his hips like a loincloth. | 6 | 419 | ||
| Winky | She had obviously not foraged for clothes like Dobby. She was wearing a neat little skirt and blouse with a matching blue hat, which had holes in it for her ears. However she was plainly not taking care of her clothes at all. There were soup stains all down her blouse and a burn in her skirt. She burst into tears, which spilled out of her great brown eyes and splashed down her front. | 4 | 376 | |
| Blast-ended Scroots | They were now over 3 feet long, and extremely powerful. No longer shell-less and colorless, they had developed a kind of thick, grayish, shiny armor. They looked like a cross between giant scorpions and elongated crabs-- but still without recognizable heads or eyes. They had become immensely strong and very hard to control. Now and then with an alarming bang, one of the skrewts' ends would explode, causing it to shoot forward several yards. | 4 | 295 | |
| Their desire to kill one another had not been exercised out of them. Each of them was now approaching six feet in length. Their thick gray armor; their powerful, scuttling legs; their fire-blasting ends; their stings and their suckers, combined to make the skrewts the most repulsive things Harry had ever seen. But they did not hibernate and did not appreciate being forced into pillow-lined boxes and nailed in. | 4 | 368 | ||
| Bowtruckles | The professor indicated the heap of twigs in front of her as the they leapt into the air and revealed themselves to be what looked like tiny pixyish creatures made of wood, each with knobbly brown arms and legs, two twiglike fingers at the end of each hand, and a funny, flat, barklike face in which a pair of beetle-brown eyes glittered… They eat wood lice or fairy eggs… Whenever you need leaves or wood from a tree in which a bowtruckle lodges, it is wise to have a gift of wood lice ready to distract or placate it. They may not look dangerous but when angered can gouge out human eyes with their fingers, which, as you can see, are very sharp and not at all desirable near the eyeballs. | 5 | 258 | |
| Dementors | The star-strewn indigo sky was suddenly pitch-black, and lightless-- the stars, the moon, the misty streetlamps at either end of the alley had vanished. The distant grumble of cars and whisper of trees had gone. The balmy evening was suddenly piercingly, bitingly cold. They were surrounded by total, impenetrable silent darkness, as though some giant hand had dropped a thick, icy mantle over the entire alleyway, blinding them. | 5 | 17 | |
| A towering, hooded figure was fliding smoothly toward him, hovering over the ground, no feet or face visible beneath its robes, sucking on the night as it came… a pair of gray, slimy, scabbed hands slid from inside the dementor's robes, reaching for him. A rushing noise of high pitched laughter filled Harry's ears. He could smell the Dementor's putrid, death-cold breath, filling his own lungs, drowning him… The enormous silver stag's antlers caught it in the place where its heart should have been, throwing it backward, weightless as darkness until it swooped away, batlike and defeated. A second dementor was crouching low over Dudley, gripping his wrists in its slimy hands, prizing tghem slowly, almost lovingly apart, lowering its hooded head toward Dudley's face as though about to kiss him… | 5 | 17 | ||
| Move in eirie way hovering inches above the ground. Rotting smell, terrible rattling noise as they suck on the surrounding air. Feel as everything went cold and happiness had gone from the world, remembering dreadful things. | 5 | 140 | ||
| Inferi | Corpses that have been bewitched to do a dark wizard's bidding. Inferi have not been seen since Voldemort was last powerful. He killed enough people to make an army of them. | 6 | 62 | |
| Belittling Harry's answer that Ghosts were transparent and Inferei weren't- Snape said "the Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spells. It is not alive, it is merely used like a puppet to do the wizard's bidding. A ghost is the imprint of a departed soul left upon the earth… and is transparent." | 6 | 460 | ||
| The Inferius is a corpse that has been reanimated by a Dark wizard's spell's. It is not alive, it is merely used like a puppet to do the wizard's bidding. A ghost is the imprint of a departed soul left upon the earth and is transparent | 6 | 460 | ||
| A dead man lying faceup inches beneath the surface of the lake, his open eyes misted as though with cobwebs, his hair and his robes swirling around him like smoke… like many creatures that dwell in cold and darkness, they fear light and warmth (fire), which will come to our aid. | 6 | 566 | ||
| A slimy white hand gripped his wrist pulling him into the lake; men, women and children with sunken sightless eyes were moving toward the rock - an army of the dead. Petrificus Totalus, Impedimenta, Incarcerous and Sectumsempra all worked but large numbers kept coming… distracted by the flames they seemed unaware of Harry and Dumbledore until they could slip gratefully back into their water. | 6 | 575 | ||
| Thestrals | The "horseless carriages" were no longer horseless. There were creatures standing between the carriage shafts; if he had to give them a name, he supposed he would have called them horses, though there was something reptilian about them too. They were completely fleshless, their black coats clinging to their skeletons, of which every bone was visible. Their heads were dragonish, and their pupil-less eyes white and staring. Wings sprouted from each wither-- vast, black leathery wings that looked as though they ought to belong to giant bats. Standing still they looked eerie and sinister. | 5 | 196 | |
| A great, reptilian winged horse, just like the ones pulling the Hogwarts carriages, with leathery black wings spread wide like a pterodactyl's, rose up out of the trees like a grotesque, giant bird. It soared in a great circle and then plunged once more into the trees. | 5 | 282 | ||
| A pair of blank, white, shining eyes grew larger through the gloom of the forest. A dragonish face, neck and then skeletal body of a great, black, winged horse emerged from the darkness. It looked at the class for a moment swishing its long black tail, then bowed its head and began to tear flesh from the dead cow with its pointed fangs. A second black horse appeared folding its leathery wings closer to its body and dipping its head to gorge on the meat. We have a herd, Hagrid said, starting from Tenebrus and five females. They are used for pulling the carriages and long rides by Dumbledore because they have a great sense of direction. Just tell them where you want to go. They can only be seen by people who have seen death. | 5 | 445 | ||
| Harry wound his hand around its silken mane and scrambled onto its silken back. It twisted its head around, fangs bared, to lick the blood on Harry's robes. He lodged his knees behind the wing joints to feel more secure. He looked at its glossy black head and told it where he wanted to go. With a sweeping movement that nearly unseated him, the wings on either side extended, the horse crouched slowly and then rocketed upward so fast and so steeply that Harry had to clench his arms and legs tightly around the horse to avoid sliding backward over its bony rump. He closed his eyes and put his face down into the horse's silky mane as they burst through the topmost branches of the trees and soared out into a blood red sunset. | 5 | 764 | ||
| Hedwig | In a large cage was a beautiful snowy owl, fast asleep with her head under her wing. | 1 | 81 | |
| A soft shooshing sound and something white soared from the top of a dark wardrobe and landing gently on Harry's shoulder. The snowy owl clicked her beak and nibbled his ear affectionaltely as Harry stroked her feathers. | 5 | 63 | ||
| Inside the cage was a magnificent snowy owl. Her amber eyes surveyed the room imperiously, her head swiveling occasionally to gaze at her snoring master. | 6 | 41 | ||
| Fawkes | Standing on a golden perch behind the door was a decrepit-looking bird that resembled a half-plucked turkey. The bird looked balefully back, making its gagging noise again looking very ill. Its eyes were dull and a couple more feathers fell out of its tail before it burst into flames becoming a fireball. It gave a loud shriek and next second there was nothing but a smouldering pile of ash on the floor. A tiny, wrinkled, newborn bird poked its head out of the ashes. It was guite as ugley as the old one. "He's really very handsome most of the time, wonderful red and gold plumage. They can carry immensely heavy loads, their tears have healing powers and they make highly faithful pets." | 2 | 207 | |
| As the music reached a pitch that vibrated his ribs flames erupted at the top of the nearest pillar. A crimson bird the size of a swan had appeared, piping its weird music to the vaulted ceiling. It had a glittering golden tail as long as a peacock's and gleaming golden talons, which were gripping a ragged bundle. It landed heavily on his shoulder and as it folded its great wings he could see its long, sharp golden beak and beady black eye. When he asked if it was Fawkes it squeezed his shoulder gently with its golden claws. | 2 | 314 | ||
| He felt the bird lay its beautiful head on the spot where the serpent's fang had pierced him and begin crying. Thick pearly tears were trickling down the glossy feathers. He felt better, a thick pearly patch of tears was shining all around where the wound used to be. It had healed. | 2 | 320 | ||
| He took hold of Fawkes' strangely hot tail feathers. The extraordinary lightness seemed to spread through his whole body and the next second, in a rush of wings, they were flying upward. Dumbledore said that Harry must have shown him great loyalty "as nothing but that could have called Fawkes to you." | 2 | 325 | ||
| Flash of flame in the very middle of ADs office leaving behing a single golden feather as a warning. | 5 | 474 | ||
| A burst of fire in midair, a scroll of parchment fell w/ a thud accompanied by a single golden phoenix tail feather. | 5 | 478 | ||
| Somewhere out in the darkness, a phoenix was singing in a way Harry had never head before: a stricken lament of terrible beauty. And Harry felt, as before, that the music was inside him, not without: It was his own grief turned magically to song that echoed across the grounds and through the castle windows. | 6 | 614 | ||
| Peeves | A little man in a bell-covered hat and orange bow tie, his wide, malicious face contorted with concentration as he took aim. | 4 | 172 | |
| Basilisk | Something heavy hit him. The enormous serpent, bright, poisonous green, thick as an oak trunk, had raised itself high in the air and its great blunt head as weaving drunkenly between the pillars. It was snapping at Fawkes with fangs long and thin as sabers. Both its great, bulbous yellow eyes, had been punctured by the phoenix; blood was streaming to the floor and the snake was spitting in agony. | 2 | 318 | |
| Mountain Troll | Smell with a foul stench like a mixture of old socks and the kind of public toilet no one seems to clean. There was a low grunt and shuffling footfalls of gigantic feet. Twelve feet tall with dull, granite gray skin and a great lumpy body like a boulder with its small bald head perched on top like a coconut. It had short legs thick as tree trunks with flat, horny feet. It held a large wooden club which dragged along the floor because its arms were so long. | 1 | 174 | |
| Unicorn | See that stuff shinin' on the ground? Silvery stuff? That's unicorn blood... A werewolf isn't fast enough to catch a unicorn… every no and then there was a spot of silver-blue blood on the fallen leaves… Unicorn's are powerful magic creatures. I never knew one ter be hurt before… the blood was getting thicker with splashes on the roots of a tree, as the poor creature had been thrashing around… something bright white was gleaming on the ground. It was the unicorn. Its long, slender legs were stuck out at odd angles where it had fallen and its mane was spread pearly-white on the dark leaves… it is a monstrous thing to slay a unicorn. Only one who has nothing to loose, and everything to gain, would commit such a crime. The blood of a unicorn will keep you alive, even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. You have slain something pure and defenseless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips. | 1 | 250 | |
| It was so brilliantly white that it made the snow all around look gray. It was pawing the ground nervously with its golden hooves and throwing back its horned head. Boys had to keep back because they preferred girls. | 4 | 436 | ||
| Veela | A hundred Veela glided onto the field. They were women… the most beautiful women he had ever seen… except that they weren't -- they couldn't be -- human. Their skin shone moon-bright and their white-gold hair fanned out behind them without wind. When they started to dance Harry and Ron's mind's went completely and blissfully blank. He wanted to do something impressive. | 4 | 103 | |
| They launched themselves onto the field and began throwing what seemed to be handfuls of fire at the leprechauns. They didn't look remotely beautiful now, their faces were elongating into sharp, cruel-beaked bird heads, and long scaly wings were bursting from their shoulders. | 4 | 111 | ||
| ~ LOCATIONS ~ | ||||
| 4 Privet Drive Cupboard under the stairs | Behind the door to his small bedroom- the cupboard under the stairs- Harry sat on his bed. He had to move a spider off his socks when he found them. | 1 | 19 | |
| 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey | tidy front gardens with a brass number 4 on the front door. The living room was same as nearly ten years previously. Many photos of their large son Dudley were on the mantle but none of Harry. | 1 | 18 | |
| The house had four bedrooms: one for Uncle Vernon & Aunt Petunia, one for visitors (usually Uncle Vernon's sister, Marge), one where Dudley slept, and one where Dudley kept all the toys and things that wouldn’t fit in to his first bedroom. Harry sat down on the bed in his new bedroom (Dudley's old storage). Nearly everything in here was broken. The month old video camera, a tank which had been driven over the neighbors dog, a foot punched TV set, an empty birdcage, a bent air rifle from sitting on it. Books on the book shelves had never been touched. | 1 | 37 | ||
| In the bedroom now used by Harry, a large wooden trunk stood open at the foot of his bed, reavealing a cauldron, broomstick, black robes, and assorted spellbooks. Rolls of parchment littered that part of his desk that was not taken up by the large, empty cage in which his snowy owl, Hedwig, usually perched. On the floor beside his bed a book lay open which had moving Quidditch players on it's cover. | 4 | 18 | ||
| A drowsey silence drew over the large, square houses of Privet Drive on the hotest night of the summer. Cars that were usually gleaming stood dusty in their drives and lawns that were once emerald green lay parched and yellowing; the use of hosepipes had been banned due to drought. Inhabitants had retreated into their houses, windows wide open tempting non-existant breezes. | 5 | 1 | ||
| Azkaban | It's located in the middle of the North Sea, nasty flight. | 6 | 8 | |
| Beauxbatons | at ze Palace of Beauxbatons, we 'ave ice sculptures all around ze dining chamber at Chreestmas. Zey do not melt, of course… zey are like 'uge statues of diamond, glittering around ze place. And ze food is seemply superb. And we 'ave choirs of wood nymphs, 'oo serenade us as we eat. We 'ave noe of zis ugly armor in ze 'alls, and eef a polterfeist ever entaired into Beauzbatons, 'e would be expelled like zat. | 4 | 419 | |
| Budleigh Babberton | A village square with a war memorial in the center. They walked past an empty inn and a few houses. A church clock said almost midnight. | 6 | 58 | |
| Fred and George's Bedroom | On 2nd floor. The large vase of flowers on the desk in front of the small window didn't disguise the lingering smell of gunpowder. Vast number of unmarked, sealed cardboard boxes looked like a temporary warehouse. Harry found a puking pastile in a pillow on one of the beds. | 6 | 88 | |
| Diagon Alley | It had changed. Instead of being colorful, all windows were covered with ministry security and wanted posters of Death Eaters. Windows were boarded up. Several shabby-looking stalls selling questionable security devices. | 6 | 110 | |
| Borgin and Burkes | In the stone fireplace of a large, dimly lit wizard's shop. A glass nearby held a withered hand on a cushion, a bloodstained pack of cards and a staring glass eye. Evil looking masks on the wall, an assortment of human bones on the counter and rusty spiked instruments hung from the ceiling. On a dark narrow street. A large black cabinet on the left | 2 | 49 | |
| Gringotts Bank | It's safer than anywhere except Hogwarts with spells - enchantments and they say there's dragons guardin' the high security vaults. And then yeh gotta find yer way -- it's hundred's of miles under London, see. Deep under the Underground. Yeh'd die of hunger tryin' ter get out, even if yeh did manage ter get yer hands on summat. | 1 | 64 | |
| A second pair of doors inside the first, silver this time with a poem of warning to thieves engraved on them. Inside the doors was a marble hall with about a hundred more goblins sitting on high stools behind a long counter, scribbling in large ledgers, weighing coins in brass scales, examining precious stones through eyeglasses. There were too many doors to count leading off the hall, and yet more goblins were showing people in and out of these. Past one of the doors was a narrow stone passageway lit with flaming torches sloping steeply downward with little railway tracks on the floor. A small cart hurtling toward them stopped and they got in to ride through a maze of twisting passages. Even deeper they past an underground lake with stalagmites and tite's grew. They stopped at a door in the wall to Harry's vault then across a ravine to Hogwarts vault without a keyhole. | 1 | 72 | ||
| A snowy white building that towered over the other little shops. Standing beside it's burnished bronze doors, wearing a uniform of scarlet and gold was a goblin. | 1 | 72 | ||
| Knockturn Alley | Emerged into a dingy alley that seemed to be made up entirely of shops devoted to the Dark Arts. Borgin and Burkes, looked like the largest, but opposite was a nasty window display of shrunken heads and, two doors down, a large cage was alive with gigantic black spiders. Two shabby-looking wizards were watching from the the shadow of a doorway. An old wooden street sign hung over a shop selling poisonous candles saying "Knockturn Alley" which opens across the street from Gringott's bank. | 2 | 53 | |
| Ollivanders | The last shop was narrow and shabby. Peeling gold letters over the door read Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 B.C. A single wand lay on a faded purple cushion in the dusty window. A tinkling bell rand somewhere in the depths of the shop as they stepped inside. It was a tiny place, empty except for a single, spindly chair. There were thousancs of narrow boxes piled neatly right up to the ceiling. The very dust and silence in here seemed to tingle with some secret magic. | 1 | 82 | |
| Durmstrang | Ve have a castle also, not as big as this, nor as comfortable, I am thinking. Ve have just four floors, and the fires are lit only for magical purposes. But ve have grounds larger even than these- though in vinter, ve have very little daylight, so ve are not enjoying them. But in summer ve are flying every day, over the lakes an the mountains | 4 | 417 | |
| Grimmauld Place | No house was between number 11 and 13 on Grimmauld Place until Harry thought about that Dumbledore had written on the note. A battered door emerged out of nowhere between numbers eleven and thirteen, followed swiftly by dirty walls and grimy windows. It was as though an extra house had inflated, pushing those on either side out of its way without the muggles noticing anything. | 5 | 59 | |
| Kreacher's Nest | He sleeps under the boiler in the cupboard off the kitchen. Most of the cupboard was taken up with a very large and old-fashioned boiler, but in the foot's space underneath the pipes Kreachur had made himself something that looked like a nest. A jumble of assorted rags and smelly old blankets were piled on the floor and the small dent in the middle of it showed where Kreacher curled up to sleep every night. Here and there among the material were stale bread crusts and moldy old bits of cheese. In a far corner glinted small objects and coins that Harry guessed Kreacher had saved from Sirius' purge of the house. Silver framed family photographs including that of Bellatrix Lestrange | 5 | 503 | |
| Number 12 | they dismounted on a patch of unkempt grass in the middle of a small square. The grimy fronts of the surrounding houses were not welcoming; some of them had broken windows, glimmering dully in the light from the street-lamps, paint was peeling from many of the doors, and heaps of rubbish lay outside several sets of front steps. The muffled sound of a stereo was coming from an upper window in the nearest house. A pungent smell of rotting rubbish came from the pile of bulging bin-bags just inside the broken gate. | 5 | 57 | |
| Entry Hallway: gas lamps on walls, black shabby scratched door, silver door knocker in shape of serpent, chandilier & candelabra shaped like serpents, shrunken heas on wall plaques of house elves. | 5 | 60 | ||
| There were worn steps and the newly materialized door had black, shabby, scratched paint. The silver door knocker was in the form of a twisted serpent. There was no keyhole or letterbox. With a tap of the wand there was a clatter of a chain, metallic clicks and creaking door. Hall was total darkness with a damp, dusty, sweetish, rotting smell like a derelect building. Hissing noise came from old-fashioned gas lamps which sputtered into life all along the walls of peeling wallpaper and threadbare carpet of a long gloomy hallway. A cobwebby chandelier glimmered over age-blackened portraits hung crooked. The chandelier and candelabra on a rickety table were shaped like serpents. | 5 | 60 | ||
| To the bottom of the stairs leading into the basement kitchen. It was scarcely less gloomy than the hall above, a cavernous room with rough stone walls. Most of the light came from a large fire at the far end. A haze of pipe smoke hung in the air like battle fumes, through which loomed the menacing shapes of heavy iron pots and pans hanging from the dark ceiling. Many chairs had been crammed into the room for the meeting and a long wooden table stood in the middle of the room, littered with rolls of parchement, goblets, empty wine bottles, and a heap of what appeared to be rags. | 5 | 79 | ||
| Basement kitchen - cavernous room with rough stone walls, large fire at end of room. Iron pots and pans hanging from dark ceiling. Long wooden table with many chairs. | 5 | 100 | ||
| The drawing room was a long, high-ceilinged room on the first floor with olive-green walls covered in dirty tapestries. The carpet exhaled little clouds of dust every time someone put their foot on it and the long, moss-green velvet curtains were buzzing as though swarming with invisible bees. | 5 | 101 | ||
| Drawing room: long high ceiling'd on 1st floor w/ olive green walls covered in dirty tapestries, dusty carpet. Moss green velvet curtains (buzzing) | 5 | 101 | ||
| There were dusty glass-fronted cabinets standing on either side of the mantelpiece. They were crammed with an odd assortment of objects: a selection of rusty daggers, claws, a coiled snakeskin, a number of tarnished silver boxes inscribed with an unknown language and an ornate crystal bottle with a large opal set into the stopper, full of what looked like blood. | 5 | 105 | ||
| The tarnished chandeliers no longer hung with cobwebs but with garlands of holly and gold and silver streamers; Magical snow glittered in heaps over the threadbare carpets; a great Christmas tree, obtained by Mundungus and decorated with live faires blocked Sirius's family tree from view; and even the stuffed elf heads on the wall wore father Christmas hats and beards. | 5 | 501 | ||
| Heavily chained and bolted (magically bewitched) front door. | 5 | 523 | ||
| Hepzibah Smith's house | In the memory, the sitting room was so crammed with objects that it was difficult to see how anybody could navigate their way across it without knocking over at least a dozen things: there were cabinets full of little lacquered boxes, cases full of gold-embossed books, shelves of orbs and celestial globes, and many flourishing potted plants in brass containers. In fact the room looked like a cross between a magical antique shop and a conservatory. | 6 | 434 | |
| Hosghead Tavern | Small inn at the top of the street. A creaky battered wooden sign hanging from a rusty bracket over the door w/ a picture of a wild boar's severed head leaking blood onto the white cloth around it. | 5 | 335 | |
| Small dingy very dirty room that smelled strongly of some thing tht might have been goats. Bay windows so encrusted with grime very little daylight could permeate the room lit w/ the stubs of candles sitting on rough wooden tables. Stone floor covered w/ accumulated filth of centuries. "a lot o' funny folk." keeping your face hidden was some thing of a fashion. | 5 | 335 | ||
| An ancient wooden till drawer automatically opens to receive money. | 5 | 337 | ||
| Three Broomsticks | Large bar giving an impression of gleaming warmth and cleanliness | 5 | 335 | |
| Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry | Perched atop a high mountain on the other side of a great black lake was a vast castle with many turrets and towers. It stood on a cliff covered by a curtain of ivy which the boats went through into a hidden underground harbor. A passageway in the rock led up to a lawn with smooth damp grass. A flight of stone steps led to a huge, oak front door. Inside the door was an entrance hall so big you could have fit a whole house inside. It had stone walls lit with flaming torches like in Gringott's bank. The ceiling was too high to make out and a magnificent marble staircase led to the upper floors. A door led to a small, empty chamber A pair of double doors on the other side of the hall led to the Great Hall. | 1 | 111 | |
| There were 142 staircases: wide, sweeping; narrow, rickety; some leading somewhere different on a Friday; some with a vanishing step halfway up. Doors that wouldn't open unless you asked politely or tickled them in the right place; or that were just walls "pretending" to be doors. Wverything seemed to move around a lot and people in portraits kept going to visit each other. | 1 | 131 | ||
| Through the gates, flanked with statues of winged boars, and up the sweeping drive the carriages trundled… Harry could see Hogwarts coming nearer, its many lighted windows blurred and shimmering behind the thick curtain of rain. Lightening flashed across the sky as their carriage came to a halt before the great oak front doors, which stood at the top of a flight of stone steps.. They stopped only when they were inside the cavernous, torch-lit entrance hall, with its magnificent marble staircase. | 4 | 171 | ||
| Christmas decorations consisted of: everlasting icicles on the banisters of the marble staircase; the usual twelve Christmas trees in the Great Hall were bedecked with everything from luminous holly berries to real, hooting, golden owls, and the suits of armor had all been bewitched to sing carols whenever anyone passed them. One helmit only knew half the words to "O Come All Ye Faithfull' and Peeves filled in the rest with insultingly rude words. | 4 | 395 | ||
| Snow was falling thickly upon the castle and its grounds now. The pale blue Beauxbatons carriage looked like a large, chilly, frosted pumpkin next to the iced gingerbread house that was Hagrid's cabin, while the Durmstrang ship's portholes were glazed with ice, the rigging white with frost. The house-elves were outdoing themselves with a series of rich, warming stews and savory puddings that only Fleur Delacour seemed to be able to find fault with. | 4 | 404 | ||
| an area of lawn right in front of the castle had been transformed into a sort of grotto full of fairy lights -- meaning hundreds of actual living fairies were sitting in the rosebushes that had been conjured there, and fluttering over the statues of what seemed to be Father Christmas and his reindeer. | 4 | 413 | ||
| Hoqwarts guarded by many ancient spells and charms to ensure the bodily and mental safety of those who dwell within. | 5 | 529 | ||
| 1st floor DADA Classroom | Snape had imposed his personality upon the room already; it was gloomier than usual, as curtains had been drawn over the windows, and was lit by candlelight. New pictures adorned the walls, many of them showing people who appeared to be in pain, sporting grisly injuries or strangely contorted body parts. Nobody spoke as they settled down, looking around at the gruesome pictures. | 6 | 177 | |
| 1st floor DADA Office | Plastered with beaming pictures of GL | 2 | 0 | |
| Cages and tanks of fascinating dark creatures | 3 | 0 | ||
| Packed with various instruments and artifacts for the detectioin of wrong doing and concealment. | 4 | 0 | ||
| Surfaces draped in lacey covers and cloths. Vases full of dried flowers each on own doily. One wall had collection of large technicolor kitten wearing a different bow around it's neck. Small table draped in lace. | 5 | 264 | ||
| It looked totally unrecognizable. The surfaces had all been draped in lacy covers and cloths. There were several vases full of dried flowers, each residing on its own doily, and on one of the walls was a collection of ornamental plates, 4each decorated with a large technicolor kitten wearing a different bow around its neck… a small table draped in lace beside which Umbridge had drawn up a straight-backed chair… she touched Harry's hand with her thick, stubbly fingers on which she wore a number or ugly old rings. | 5 | 265 | ||
| Chamber of Secrets | At the end of the tunnel, on a solid wall were carved two entwined serpents with eyes set with great, glinting emeralds. Saying "open" in parseltongue the wall cracked open sliding smoothly out of sight revealing a very long dimly lit chamber. Towering stone pillars entwined with more carved serpents rose to support a ceiling lost in darkness, casting long black shadows through the odd, greenish gloom that filled the place. After the last pillar a statue high as the Chamber itself loomed into view, standing against the back wall. It was ancient and monkey-ish, with a long, thin beard that fell almost to the bottom of the wizard's sweeping stone robes, where two enormous gray feet stood on the smooth Chamber floor. Lying on the floor was the black diary. | 2 | 304 | |
| Chessboard Chamber | As they stepped into the room light suddenly flooded on revealing a huge chessboard with chessmen carved from stone and taller than they were. Facing them across the chamber were the white pieces, none of them had faces. | 1 | 281 | |
| Entrance Hall | Ablaze with torches, flagstone floor and double doors on the right into the great hall. | 5 | 202 | |
| Filtch's Office | Dingy and windowless, lit by a single oil lamp dangling from the low ceiling. A faint smell of fried fish lingered about the place. Wooden filing cabinets stood around the walls containing details of every pupil Filch had ever punished. Fred and George Weasley had an entire drawer to themselves. A highly polished collection of chains and manacles hung on the wall behind the desk. | 2 | 125 | |
| Great Hall | It was a strange and splendid place lit by thousands and thousands of candles that were floating in midair over four long table. The tables were laid with glittering golden plates and goblets. The teachers sat at the head table. The ceiling was bewitched to mimic the sky above the castle and was velvety black and dotted with stars. | 1 | 116 | |
| The hall looked spectacular at Christmastime. Festoons of holly and mistletoe hung all around the walls, and no less than twelve towering Christmas trees stood around the room, some sparkling with tiny icicles, some glittering with hundreds of candles. | 1 | 197 | ||
| It was already full and decked out in the Slytherin colors of green and silver to celebrate Slytyherin's winning the house cup for the seventh year in a row. A hugh banner showing the Slytherin serpent covered the wall behind the High Table… with a hand clap the hangings became scarlet and the silver became gold; the hugh Slytherin serpent vanished and a towering Gryffindor lion took its place. | 1 | 304 | ||
| Innumerable candles were hovering in midair over four long crowded tables, making the golden plates and goblets sparkle. Overhead, the bewitched ceiling, which always mirrored the sky outside, sparkled with stars. Through the forest of pointed black Hogwarts hats they saw a long line of scared-looking first yeas filing into the Hall. | 2 | 76 | ||
| As it was halloween a cloud of live bats was fluttering around the enchanted ceiling, while hundreds of carved pumpkins leered from every corner. | 4 | 260 | ||
| The walls had all been covered in sparkling silver frost, with hundreds of garlands of mistletoe and ivy crossing the starry black ceiling. The House tables had vanished; instead, there were about a hundred smaller, lantern-lit ones, each seating about a dozen people. | 4 | 415 | ||
| 4 long tables for each of 4 houses, ceiling reflected black sky outside, high windows, candles floated in mid air all along tables. AD sitting in high backed golden chair at center of long staff table. | 5 | 202 | ||
| Crossing the flagged stone floor and through the double doors to the right the students entered the great hall. The four long House table were filling up under the starless black ceiling, which was just like the sky they could glimpse through the high windows. Candles floated in midair all along the tables, illuminating the silvery ghosts who were dotted about the Hall and the faces of the students talking eagerly to one another. | 5 | 202 | ||
| ground floor Divination Classroom 11 (Firenze) | classroom 11: ground floor leading off the entrance hall on the opposite side to the great hall. Never used regularly - neglected feeling of a cupbaord or storeroom. Middle of a forest clearing. Floor springily mossy and trees were growing out of it. Leafy branches fanned across the ceiling and windows so room was full of slanting shapes of shafts of soft, dappled, green light. | 5 | 600 | |
| Gryffindor Common Room | Cozy circular tower room full of dilapidated squashy armchairs and rickety old tables, fire grates and doors to boys and girls dormatory's. | 5 | 204 | |
| Hagrids Cabin | Across the grounds to a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest. A crossbow and a pair of galoshes were outside the front door. Only one room was inside with Hams and pheasants hanging from the ceiling. A copper kettle was boiling on the open fire and a massive bed with a patchwork quilt stood in the corner. | 1 | 141 | |
| Looking up at the ceiling there hung a number of brass pots and also a long, silky skein of bright white hair- unicorn hair. | 6 | 486 | ||
| Headmasters Office | A large and beautiful circular room, full of funny little noises. A number of curious silver instruments stood on spingle-legged tables, whirring and emitting little puffs of smoke. The walls were covered with portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses, all of whom were snoozin g gently in their frames. There was also an enormous, claw-footed desk, and sitting on a shelf behind it, a shabby, tattered wizard's hat- the sorting hat. | 2 | 205 | |
| Strange silver instruments standing on table were silent rather than whirring and puffing smoke. Portraits of old head masters and headmistresses on wall. Red and Gold bird size of a swan on perch. | 5 | 467 | ||
| Heads office has sealed itself against DU | 5 | 625 | ||
| The spot in the 7th floor corridor where a single gargoyle stood against the wall. Speaking the password "acid-pops" the gargoyle leapt aside, the wall slid apart and a moving spiral stone staircase took Harry in smooth circles up to the door with the brass knocker leading to Dumbledore's office. | 6 | 196 | ||
| The circular office looked just as it always did; the delicate silver instruments stood on spindle-legged tables, puffing smoke and shirring; portraits of previous headmasters and headmistresses dozed in their frames, and Dumbledore's magnificent phoenix, Fawkes, stood on his perch behind the door, watching Harry with bright interest. | 6 | 197 | ||
| Kitchens | Down the same staircase that the Huffelpuff common room is in. They found themselves in a broad stone corridor, brightly lit with torches, and decorated with cheerful paintings that were mainly of food. One painting showed a gigantic silver fruit bowl. Hermione tickled the huge green pear with her finger and it began to squirm, chuckling, and suddenly turned into a large green door handle. Inside there was an enormous, high-ceilinged room with mounds of glittering brass pots and pans heaped around the stone wa..s, and a great breick fireplace at the other end. There were four long wooden tables positioned exactly beneath the four House tables above in the Great Hall. Food is sent up through the ceiling to their counterparts above. | 4 | 374 | |
| Lake | Harry could smell the pine trees that lined the path down to the lake (from the Hogsmead train station). | 5 | 195 | |
| Owlry | Glassless windows, thick silvery beams of sunlight crisscrossing the circular room in which 100s of owls nest on rafters; straw covered floor crunches with tiny animal bones. | 5 | 275 | |
| The glassless windows dazzled his eyes; thick and silvery beams of sunlight crisscrossed the circular room in which hundreds of owls nestled on rafters, a little restless in the early morning light, some clearly just returned from hunting. The straw-covered floor crunched a little as he stepped across tiny animal bones, craning his neck for a sight of Hedwig. | 5 | 282 | ||
| Potion Chamber | Nothing very frightening, just a table with seven differently shaped bottles standing on it in a line. They stepped over the threshold, and immediately a fire sprang up behind them in the doorway. It wasn't ordinary fire either; it was purple. At the same instant, black flames shot up in the doorway leading onward. They were trapped. | 1 | 284 | |
| Room of Requirement | A highly polished door appeared on the wall with a brass handle. A spacious room was lit with flickering torches like those that illuminated the dungeons eight floors below. Walls were lined with wooden bookcases and instead of chaird large silk cusions were on the floor. Shelves at the far end had range of instruments such as sneakoscopes, secrecy sensors, and large cracked foe-glass that Harry was sure had hung in the fake-Moody's office. There were hundreds of leather bound books about the dark arts. | 5 | 390 | |
| Was a room full of chamber pots when AD needed it. | 5 | 390 | ||
| Used by dobby to hide Winkey when she is drunk. Has a small bed and antidotes for butter beer. | 5 | 390 | ||
| was a broom closet when Fred and George Weasley were hiding from Filtch | 5 | 390 | ||
| Was a supply closet when Filtch needed more cleaning supplies. | 5 | 390 | ||
| Shaft under Trap Door | We must be miles under the school. They landed on some sort of soft plant which started to twist snakelike tendrils around their ankles and limbs. | 1 | 277 | |
| Slughorn's office | Possibly by magic his office was larger than the usual teacher's study. The ceiling and walls had been draped with emerald, crimson and gold hangings, so that it looked as though they were all inside a vast tent. The room was crowded and stuffy and bathed in the red light cast by an ornate golden lamp dangling from the center of the ceiling in which real fairies were fluttering, each a brilliant speck of light. Loud singing accompanied by what sounded like mandolins issued from a distant corner; a haze of pipe smoke hung over several elderly warlocks deep in conversation , and number of house-elves were negotiating their way squeakily through the forest of knees, obscured by the heavy platters of food they were bearing, so that they looked like little roving tables. | 6 | 315 | |
| Snapes Office | Down a narrow stone stiarcase leading to the dungeons. Shadowy walls were lined with shelves of large glass jars, in which floated all manner of revolting things. The fireplace was dark and empty. | 2 | 79 | |
| It was a shadowy room lined with shelves bearing hundreds of glass jars in which floated slimy bits of animals and plants, suspended in variously colored potions. In a corner stood the cupboard full of ingredients that Snape had once accused Harry- not without reason- of robbing. On the desk laid a shallow stone basin engraved with runes and symbols- Dumbledore's Pensieve. | 5 | 529 | ||
| Winged Key Chamber | At the end of the passageway was a brilliantly lit chamber, its ceiling arching high above. It was full of small, jewel-bright birds, fluttering and tumbling all around the room. On the opposite side of the chamber was a heavy wooden door that was locked. | 1 | 279 | |
| Madame Puddifoots | Decorated for valentines. Number of golden cherubs hovering over each of the small circular tables, occasionally throwing pink confetti over occupants. | 5 | 557 | |
| Marvolo Gaunt's house | It was now more indescribably filthy than anywhere Harry had ever seen. The ceiling ws thick with cobwebs, the floor coated in grime; moldy and rotting food lay upon the table amidst a mass of crusted pots. The only light came from a single guttering candle placed at the feet of a man slumped in an armchair. When he stood up many empty bottles at his feet clattered and tinkled across the floor. | 6 | 363 | |
| 10th floor | At the bottom of the stairs was another corridor bearing a great resemblance to that which led to Snape's dungeon at Hogwarts, with rough stone walls and torches in brackets. The doors they passed here were heavy wooden ones with iron bolts and keyholes. | 5 | 135 | |
| 10th floor # 10 | They stopped outside a drimy dark door with an immense iron lock. He turned the heavy iron door handle into a familiar room which he had seen in Dumbledore's pensieve. | 5 | 136 | |
| Walls were made of dark stone, dimly lit by torches, and footsteps echo on the stone floor. Empty benches rose on either side of Fudge but ahead, in the highest benches of all, were many shadowy figures. The arms of the chair in the center of the room were covered in chains and clinked threateningly when Harry sat down. | 5 | 137 | ||
| 2nd floor | There were enchanted windows which showed what the Magical Maintenance department wanted them to show. They went down a corridor and through Oak doors into the Auror Headquarters. Then through more oak doors into another passage, turned right into a shabby corridor to a dead end at a broom cupboard and Mr. Weasley's office. | 5 | 131 | |
| Mr Weasley's office seemed smaller than the broom closet and was crammed with two desks and filling cabinets. Posters of muggle objects lined the walls. On the overflowing in-tray was a hiccuping toaster and a pair of gloves twiddling their thumbs. A photograph of the Weasley family was on the desk and Percy had seemed to have walked out of it. | 5 | 132 | ||
| 8th floor- Atrium | A very long and splendid hall with a highly polished, dark wood floor. The peacock-blue ceiling was inlaid with gleaming golden symbols that were continually moving and changing like a heavenly notice board. The walls were paneled in shiny dark wood and had many gilded fireplaces for Floo network use. Left-hand side arrivals and Right-hand side departures. Halfway down a fountain, with life size statues spouting water, of a Wizard and Witch surrounded by adoring Centaur, Goblin and House Elf. A set of golden gates were at the far end. | 5 | 127 | |
| Just past the golden gates another corridor was lined with at least twenty lifts behind wrought golden grilles. The grilles slid shut with a crash and the same female voice as in the telephone box automatically announced the floors. | 5 | 129 | ||
| 9th floor | The walls were bare; there were no windows and no doors apart from a plain black one set at the very end of the corridor. To the left of the door was an opening leading to a flight of steps down to the court rooms. | 5 | 135 | |
| 9th floor DOM - Prophecy Room | Door opened from clock room into a dimly lit room as high and wide as a church, full of nothing but rows and rows of towering shelves, each laden w/ small dusty spunglass spheres. | 5 | 635 | |
| 9th floor DOM - Time Room | Plain Black door opening into circular room lined with doors. Across from entry an identical door swings inward into long rectangular room full of an odd mechanical clicking and dancing flecks of light on walls. Door at far end opened at his touch. | 5 | 635 | |
| Visitors entrance | A street with a bar, shabby buildings, dumpster; and, a decrepit red phone box, missing panes of glass, next to a graffittied wall. The telephone hung crookedly. Dialing "magic" cause a womans voice to greet them then dispense badges from the change slot. The floor shuttered, sinking slowly eight floors into the ground. | 5 | 125 | |
| Platform 9.75 | It was very delayed by a wizened old guard at the ticket barrier, letting them go through the gate in twos and threes so they didn't attract attention by all bursting out of a solid wall at once and alarming the Muggles. | 1 | 308 | |
| Prefects bathroom | Large room with candle-filled chandelier. Everything was white marble including a rectangular swimming pool sized tub in the middle of the room. About 100 golden taps were all around the tub, each with a different colored jewel set in its handle. A diving board on one end and long white linen curtains over the windows. A single golden-framed painting on the wall featuring a blonde mermaid with long hair. Each tap carried different sorts of bubble bath mixed with water. One gushed football sized pink and blue bubbles, another ice-white thick foam, another perfumed purple clouds. One's jet bounced off the surface of the water in large arcs. | 4 | 460 | |
| Prime Ministers Office | It was a handsome room, with a fine marble fireplace facing long sash windows. A small dirty oil painting of a frog-like little man wearing a silver wig in the far corner of the room. Marble mantlepiece, an empty grate behind a fine antique rug. Hard chairs in front of the desk. | 6 | 2 | |
| Riddle House | The back door was almost completely covered with Ivy. A cavernous kitchen smelled of decay and the stairway from the hall was covered with dust so thick it muffled footsteps. Down the hall to the right a door was open and light from the fire in the grate flickered… 200 miles from Little Whinging, Surrey. | 4 | 6 | |
| Stood on a hill overlooking the village, some windows boarded, tiles missing from its roof and ivy spreading unchecked over its face. Once a fine looking manor and the largest and grandest building for miles around it was now damp, derelict and unoccupied. | 4 | 10 | ||
| St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries | Large old-fashioned, red brick department store called Purge and Dowse Ltd. It had a Shabby, miserable air; the window displays consisted of a few chipped dummies with their wigs askew, standing at random and modeling fashions at least 10 years out of date. Large signs on all the dusty doors read "closed for refurbishment." To enter they spoke to an ugly female dummy whose false eye-lashes were hanging off and who was modeling a green nylon pinafore dress. | 5 | 483 | |
| 1st Floor - Creature-Induced injuries | Through the double doors and along the narrow corridor bey9ond, which was lined with more portraits of famous healers and lit by crystal bubbles full of candles that floated up on the ceiling, looking like giant soapsuds. More witches and wizards in lime-green robes walked in and out of the doors; a foul-smelling yellow gas wafted into the passageway as they passed one door, and every now and then they heard distant wailing. They climbed a flight of stairs and entered the "creature-Induced Injuries" corridor, where the second door on the right bore the words "Dangerous" Dai Llewellyn Ward: Serious Bites. Underneath was a card in a brass holder on which had been handwritten Healer-In-Charge: Hippocrates Smethwyck, Trainee Healer: Augustus Pye. | 5 | 487 | |
| 1st Floor Dai Llewellyn Ward for Serious Bites | The ward was small and rather dingy as the only window was narrow and set high in wall facing the door. Most of the light came from more shining crystal bubbles clustered in the middle of the ceiling. The walls were of panelled oak and there was a portrait of a viscious looking wizard on the wall captioned "Urquhart Rackharrow, 1612-1697, inventor of the entrail-expelling curse." | 5 | 487 | |
| 4th Floor - Janis Thickey Ward (secure closed ward) | Gilderoy Larkhart, Broderick Bode, a barking witch and Alice and Frank Longbottom were in the secure closed ward at Xmas time (year 5) | 5 | 512 | |
| Ground Floor - Reception Room | They walked through what felt like a sheet of cold water into a crowded reception area where rows of witches and wizards sat upon rickety wooden charis, come looking perfectly normal and perusing out-of-date copies of Witch Weekley, others sporting gruesome disfigurements such as elephant trunks or extra hands out of their chests and making peculiar noises. The room was scarcely less quiet than the street outside. Healers in lime-green robes with emblems embroidered on their chests (a crossed wand and bone), were going between the rows asking questions. | 5 | 484 | |
| The crystal orbs that illuminated St Mungo's had been turned to red and gold so that they became gigantic Christmas baubles; holly hung around every doorway, and shining white Christmas trees covered in magical snow and icicles glittered in every corner, each topped with a gleaming gold star. | 5 | 505 | ||
| Long corridors through double doors and rickety staircase lined w/ more portraits of brutal looking healers who called out to them as they passed w/ horrible remedies for odd complaints | 5 | 508 | ||
| Snapes Town | A dirty river wound between overgrown, rubbish-strewn banks. An immense chimney of an unused mill. A line of old railings separates the river from a narrow cobbled street with rows of dilapidated brick houses, their windows dull and blind in the darkness. Down an alley into an almost identical street with broken streetlamps leading to another street named Spinners End. | 6 | 19 | |
| Severous Snapes House | The very last house on Spinners End in a muggle town. Two story home, entry way is directly into a tiny sitting room, which had the feeling of a dark, padded cell. The walls were completely lined with books. Most bound in old black or brown leather; a threadbare sofa, an old carmchair, and a rickety table were grouped together. A candle-filled lamp hung from the ceiling. Had an air of neglect as though it were not usually inhabited. A hidden door in the books led to a narrow staircase. Another hidden door into the kitchen. | 6 | 21 | |
| Spinners End | Cobble stone street lined with houses boarded with broken windows. The very last house is where Severous Snape lives. | 6 | 21 | |
| Tom Riddles Cave | A towering cliff was behind them, a sheer drop, black and faceless. A few large chunks of rock, like where they were standing, had broken away from the cliff. A bleak harsh view unrelieved by any tree or sweep of grass or sand. | 6 | 555 | |
| No muggle could reach this rock unless they were uncoommonly good mountaineers and boats cannot approach the cliffs, the waters are too dangerous. A series of small niches made footholds down the cliff to submerged boulders slippery with seawater. They swam into a fissure in the rock face, through several turns. The walls glimmered like wet tar until reaching reaching steps that led to a large cave. | 6 | 556 | ||
| The blazing silver outline of an arch appeared in the cave wall; the rock splattered with blood payment simply vanished, leaving an opening into total darkness. | 6 | 560 | ||
| Inside there was a vast black lake in a cavern so high that the ceiling wsa out of sight. A misty greenish light shone far away in what looked like the middle of the lake reflected into the perfectly still water. | 6 | 560 | ||
| A thick coppery green chain appeared into Dumbledores clenched hand and coiled itself on the ground pulling a boat from the depths. They entered and it moved on it's own into the middle of the lake | 6 | 561 | ||
| The island, no larger than Dumbledores office contained a pedestal with a basin, like a Pensieve, on top emitting a greenish light and filled with liquid magically protected except for being drunk. | 6 | 567 | ||
| Weasley's Wizard Wheezes | The window's hit the eye like a firework display. The left window was full of things that revolved, popped, flashed, bounced and shrieked. The right hand window covered with gigantic purple poster for "U-No-Poo" the "constipation sensaton." | 6 | 116 | |
| ~ OBJECTS ~ | ||||
| Barnabus the Barmey Tapestry | A stretch of blank wall opposite an enoumous tapestry depicting Barnabas the Barmy's foolish attempt to train trolls for the ballet… a moth eaten troll paused in his relentless clubbing of the would-be ballet teacher. | 5 | 389 | |
| Fat Lady Painting | The fat lady was sitting in her frame with her friend Violet from downstairs, both of them extremely tipsy, empty boxes of chocolate liqueurs littering the bottom of her picture. | 4 | 410 | |
| The Fat Lady said "precisely" and allowed them to enter. She had overindulged over Christmas. She and her friend Violet drank their way through all the wine in that picture of drunk monks down by the Charms corridor. They drank a vat of 500 year old wine. | 6 | 351 | ||
| Gargoyles - ADs office | Gargoyle leapt aside, wall split, moving trone staircase spiraling upward. High polished oak door w/ a gryffin brass knocker entrance to ADs office. | 5 | 466 | |
| Mrs. Black Portrait | A horrible, earsplitting, bloodcurdling screech came from behind the moth-eaten velvet curtains which flew apart. An old woman in a black cap was screaming and screaming as though she was being tortured. It was a life-size realistic portrait. The woman was drooling, her eyes were rolling, the yellowing skin of her face stretched taut as she screamed, and all along the hall behind them, the other portraits awoke and began to yell too. She brandished clawed hands as though to tear at your face. | 5 | 77 | |
| pmo Painting | The cough came from the frog-like little man wearing a long silver wig who was depicted in a small, dirty oil painting in the far corner of the room. | 6 | 3 | |
| A dirty oil painting of a froglike little man wearing a long silver wig in the far corner of the room. It is magically attached to the wall and and cannot be removed, although the prime minister has tried. The man yawns, scratches his nose and occasionally walks out of his frame. | 6 | 7 | ||
| Death Eaters | Tom gathered about him a motley collection of dedicated dark "friends" (who he felt no affection for). The weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty. They were the fore-runners of the Death Eaters and some actually became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts. They were rigidly controlled by Riddle, never detected in open wrongdoing, although their seven years at Hogwarts were marked by a number of nasty incidents to which they were never satisfactorily linked.

| Weird Sisters Band | A set of drums, several guitars, a lute, a cello, and some bagpipes. They were all extremly hairy and dressed in black robes that had been artfully ripped and torn. They picked up their instruments and played a slow, mournful tune. | 4 | 419 | |

| HPs Invisibility Cloak | Harry picked up the shining, slivery cloth off the floor. It was strange to the touch, like water woven into material. Harry looked down at his feet and they were gone, completely invisible. | 1 | 201 | |

| Engram- Buying Slytherin's locket | Merope Gaunt-Riddle came to Caractacus Burke, founder of Borgin and Burke's Dark Arts shop, destitute in every way except for her family heirloom heavy gold locket that once was Salazar Slytherin's and was therefore priceless. She was alone, covered in rags and ill and needed money to deliver her baby which was due any day. Burke proved it's authenticity by performing magical tests and seeing an easy mark who didn't know it's true value only gave her 10 galleons for it, thus condemning her to continued destitution and eventual death. | 6 | 262 | |
| Engram- Catching Hagrid | Tom was in Headmaster Dippet's office. The wizened, frail-looking wizard told him that he couldn't let him stay over the summer and he must go back to the orphanage because it was too dangerous now that the Chamber of Secret's had been opened. Tom asked if he could stay if the Heir of Slytherin was caught but was dismissed. The sky showed a ruby-red sunset and he then went down to the dungeons where he waited for Hagrid to come by. They followed him into a room where he was trying to put a giant spider into a box. Tom accosted Hagrid and the spider with spells but the spider ran off. Tom lied that Hagrid was involved with the monster of the chamber (Aragog the spider). | 2 | 244 | |
| Engram- Collecting Tom Riddle | A young Transfiguration teacher, Albus Dumbledore, spoke with Mrs. Cole the matron of Tom Marvolo Riddle's orphanage. Dumbledore needed to magic a letter and a bottle of Gin in order to get her to trust him. He didn't address that Hogwarts was a magical school but merely said Tom had a scholarship. Mrs. Cole related that she had just started working at the orphanage and was the same age as Merope when she came on New Years Eve. Merope delivered her baby within the hour and died within another hour. Before she died she said that the baby's surname was Riddle and Tom for HIS father and Marvolo for HER father. Tom was an "odd" baby hardly ever crying. After AD assured Mrs. Cole that Tom definitely had a place at school, she confided that no one would be sorry to see Tom gone because he "scared the other kids." He was hard to catch at being a bully. Billy Stubbs' rabbit was found dead hanging from the rafters after arguing with Tom and two children had "never been quite right" after going into a seaside cave with him. Tom was suspicious and Dumbledore had to cause Tom's wardrobe to burst into flames then extinguish in order to "prove" he was a wizard. Then Tom admitted that he could: make things move, make animals obey, make bad things happen to people who annoy me and "make them hurt if I want to." Dumbledore found that Tom had stolen things from other children who he had intimidated and made Tom take the things back with apologies. He advised Tom of ministry laws, calling adults professor or sir, thieving and other cruelty not being tolerated at school etc. Tom refused any companionship or help in obtaining his things from Diagon Alley. He said he "did things for himself." Tom discounted his mother as being magic because she died. He thought his father was the wizard. Dumbledore gave him a pouch of money without receiving a thanks. Tom added that he could converse with snakes as an afterthought. | 6 | 262 | |
| Engram- Gaunt arrest | Bob Ogden, the Head of Department of Magical Law Enforcement went to the hillside home of Marvolo Gaunt overlooking Little Hangleton to serve a warrant on his son, Morfin, for hexing a Muggle, Tom Riddle, with hives. The house was run down and dirty with a snake nailed to the door. He was accosted by the mentally dull, in-bred, Morfin until Marvolo backed him down by speaking parseltongue (which all the family could speak being pure-blood descendants of Slytherin). Marvolo tried to impress Ogden by showing the black-stoned ring and heavy golden locket owned by Slytherin which were their family's heirlooms. Morfin said he hexed Riddle because Merope, his near-Squibb sister, was "making eyes" at him as he rode by with his girlfriend Cecilia. Marvolo became physically abusive of her for being a blood-traitor. When Ogden rescued her from Marvolo's attack he turned on Ogden causing him to flee. However, Ogden returned with reinforcement within 15 minutes and arrested Marvolo (who got 6 months in Azkaban) and Morfin (who got 3 years because of his history of previous Muggle attacks). When fleeing, Ogden, dressed in his muggle impersonating- frock coat, spats and bathing suit- stumbled into Tom Riddle (Sr) and Cecelia who laughed at him. | 6 | 199 | |
| Engram- Morphin and Riddle | Morfin startled awake to a loud knock on his cabin door with a wand in one hand and a knife in the other. He initially attacked, thinking that the tall teenaged boy who entered was Tom Riddle Sr whom his sister had "run off with." When the visitor spoke in Parseltongue Morfin stopped his attack and divulged who he was and that his father, Marvolo, had died. He also said that he thought the visitor looked like that "muggle what my sister took a fancy to who lives in the big house over the way." Morfin said that the man "had run off from Merope, which served her right for marrying filth." But that she had "robbed us before she ran off" taking Slytherin's locket. When he moved forward to attack again the engram went dark extinguising the lamp, candle and everything. |
6 | 363 | |
| Dumbledore explained that when Morfin awoke he could remember nothing from that point onward. The ministry recognized the Avada Kedavra curse and visited Morfin. They didn't use Legilimency or Veritaserum he confessed, giving details implanted by Riddle. His wand was shown to have done the curse. The only thing that disturbed him was that his fathers ring had disappeared! Dumbledore visited him in Azkaban, used Legilimancy and tried to get him released. He died before that could happen. | 6 | 366 | ||
| Engram- the Cup and Locket | Working for Borgin and Burkes as his first job after Hogwarts (he was turned down for the DADA position as being too young) he met with a wealthy spinster Hepzibah Smith to try and purchase some goblin-made armor from her collection. She was so enamored with the attention he was showing her that she gussied herself up for his visits and showed him some "special" objects she owned. One she had never showed to anyone, even Burke, as her family couldn't wait to get their hands on it: Helga Hufflepuff's small golden cup with two finely wrought handles. It was engraved with a badger. It was supposed to have powers but she hadn't tested them thoroughly. Riddles eyes were filled with greed. He reluctantly gave the cup back to her. She also showed him a heavy golden locket that she had purchased from Burke several years before. It was marked with Slytherin's mark. She said Burke had bought it from a ragged girl who he thought had stolen it because she didn't know it's worth. Riddle's eyes turned scarlet with greed and only with difficulty did she get it back from him. Hepzibah died two days after the visit. Her old house elf Hokey "confessed" to accidentally putting something in the coffee that turned out to be poison. By the time they knew the cup and locket were missing Riddle had resigned his job and disappeared. | 6 | 430 | |
| AD explained that 2 days after Riddles visit Hepzibah was poisoned by a little known poison which Hokey confesses she had put in her cocoa and the ministry concluded was done by accident. Harry & Dumbledore agreed it was so similar to Morfin's story that Riddle must have done it with the imperious curse and memory modification. After Hokey was convicted the family realized that the Cup and Locket were missing and Riddle had resigned and disappeared. Dumbledore thinks it was Riddles first murder after his family and was not for revenge but for greed. He wanted trophies like he did in the orphanage. He could not resist an object so steeped in Hogwarts history and the locket was his mothers. | 6 | 439 | ||
| Engram- Tom Riddles questions (altered) | A much younger Horace Slughorn with thick, shiny, straw-colored hair, was surrounded in a nighttime meeting with a half-dozen mid-teen boys including Avery, Lestrange and Riddle who was already wearing Morfin's ring. Riddle asked if Professor Merrythought was retiring this year. The memory fogged and Slughorn's voice boomed loudly "You'll go wrong boy." The fog cleared and Slughorn dismissed them. Riddle hung back and asked about Horcruxes. The memory fogged again and Slughorn's voice said he "didn't know anything about them, wouldn't tell him if he did, and to never mention it again." | 6 | 369 | |
| Engram- Tom Riddles questions (true) | A much younger Slughorn with his thick, shiny, straw-colored hair and his gingery-blond mustache sat on his comfortable winged armchair with his feet on a velvety pouffe drinking wine and eating crystallized pineapple and surrounded by 6 teenage boys including Tom Riddle. Riddle wore Marvolo Gaunt's gold-and-black ring and asked if professor Merrythought was retiring. Slughorn said he didn't know and wondered how Riddle was so knowledgeable. He suggested that Riddle would "rise to Minister of Magic within twenty years" or earlier if he kept giving Slughorn pineapple. Slughorn dismissed the boys at 11pm and all left except Riddle. Riddle very smoothly and practiced asked Slughorn about Horcruxes, for academic sake. At first Slughorn said he shouldn't talk about it, being very Dark stuff and forbidden by Dumbledore; but, with careful flattery, he said it "couldn't hurt to give him an overview." A Horcrux is an object in which a person had concealed part of their soul so that even if one's body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains. "Few would want it and death would be preferable," he told Riddle, whose hunger became apparent and asked how it was done. Slughorn explained it was an act "against nature" accomplished by a supreme act of evil- committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart and then with a magic spell (which he didn't know) the torn part is encased in the Horcrux. Riddle asked if "seven wasn't the most powerful magical number" and "wouldn't it be better to make seven parts?" Slughorn reeled at that, astonished, and needed reassurance from Riddle that the conversation was purely academic and he would keep it secret with a wildly happy expression on his face like that of the day he found out that he was a wizard. |

| Engram- Trelawney's job interview | A shawl draped figure arose from the Pensieve and spoke in harsh tones. The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives… The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies. | 5 | 841 | |
| Engram- Voldemort's request | Dumbledore believed that Riddle wanted to stay at Hogwarts for several reasons that he didn't reveal to anyone. First, he was more attached to the school than he had ever been to a person. Second, as the castle was a stronghold of magic he wanted to explore and use it more (i.e. Slytherin's secrets). And, Third, like Slughorn had been to him, he wanted to be influential to students and possibly use it as a recruiting ground to build himself an army. | 6 | 431 | |
| On a snowy day - 10 years after Hokey's memory - Voldemort had an appointment with Dumbledore to request the DADA position which was open. He reminded Dumbledore that Dippet had told him to reapply when he was turned down before. Voldemort's appearance already was dramatically changed, his features were burned and blurred, waxy and oddly distorted and the whites of his eyes were permanently bloody with a snowy white pale face. Dumbledore was gracious throughout although refused to call him Lord Voldemort claiming an "old professors" prerogative. Riddle wondered why Dumbledore was still at Hogwarts having been offered the minister of magic position three times. Riddle said he could "show and tell your students things they can gain from no other wizard." Dumbledore said he would be "sorry to believe half of the rumors" about Riddle. Riddle replied "greatness inspires envy, envy engenders spite, spite spawns lies" to which Dumbledore replied "you call it 'greatness,' what you have been doing, do you?" Riddle said he had "pushed the boundaries of magic further perhaps than they have ever been pushed." Riddle ridiculed Dumbledore's "old argument that Love is more powerful than my kind of magic." Dumbledore asked what would happen to the Death Eaters if he was hired which startled Riddle. When he replied that "his friends" would get along without him, Dumbledore said he was surprised that he considered them "friends" as he had thought they were "more like servants." He challenged him with why he had brought Nott, Rosier, Mulciber, and Dolohov who were awaiting his return at the Hogs Head - according to information from the local barmen. Dumbledore asked him point blank WHY he was really asking for the position but Riddle avoided the question. Saying that they had no more to discuss he got up to leave. A great sadness filled Dumbledore's face "The time is long gone when I could frighten you with a burning wardrobe and force you to make repayment for your crimes. But I wish I could, Tom… I wish I could…" Dumbledore has never been able to keep a DADA teacher for longer than a year since I refused the post to Lord Voldemort. | 6 | 440 | ||
| Heavy Locket - Slytherin's | Around Merope's neck on a gold chain. Her father Marvolo shook a heavy gold locket which used to belong to Slytherin himself. | 6 | 206 | |
| There on the smooth crimson velvet lay a heavy golden locket. Voldemort held it up to the light and saw Slytherin's mark, an ornate serpentine S. Hepzibah said she had to pay Borgin "an arm and a leg for that" in her collection. | 6 | 437 | ||
| Hufflepuff's Cup | A small golden cup with two finely wrought handles. Riddle stretched his long-fingered hand and lifted the cup by one handle our of its snug silken wrappings. A badger was engraved upon it as the emblem of Helga Hufflepuff, Hephzibah's distant ancestor. It's supposed to posses all sorts of powers, but Hephzibah hasn't tested them thoroughly. | 6 | 436 | |
| Slytherin's Ring | A rather large, rather clumsily made of what looked like gold, and was set with a heavy black stone that had cracked down the middle. | 6 | 68 | |
| Tom Riddles Diary | A small, thin book with a shabby black cover. It was a diary, soggy wet, and on the first page marked "T. M. Riddle" in smudged ink. Completely blank pages. On the back cover was printed the name of the variety store on Vauxhall Road, London where it was purchased 50 years prior. | 2 | 230 | |
| The ink was sucked into the blank page. Writing was also sucked in but to be replaced with new words from a person calling himself Tom Riddle. Riddle said that he had recorded his memories in the diary because he "knew there would always be people who would not want this diary read because it contained mamories of terrible things that had been covered up." Riddle said he knew of the Chamber of Secrets and had caught the person who had opened it the last time but he wasn't imprisoned. Riddle offered to show the memory and a small television screen appeared on a page halfway through June. Looking through it he was sucked into the page into a whirl of color and shadow. | 2 | 240 | ||
| Tom Riddle communicated with Ginny and "became stronger." She "poured her soul" into the diary about her brothers and poor misunderstood situation. She said Tom was "her best friend" then he "made her" do things that she didn't remember doing. He made her strangle the chickens, write messages on walls, and open the chamber and call out the Basilisk. Tom admitted that it had taken him 5 years to find and open the chamber. He also admitted to framing Hagrid then showed that his name was an anagram for "I am Lord Voldemort." He called the Basilisk to kill Harry. Riddle's outline was becoming clearer and more solid. | 2 | 310 | ||
| Fawkes brought the diary to him. He seized the basilisk fang on the floor and plunged it into the heart of the book. There was a long and dreadful, piercing scream. Ink spurted out of the diary in torrents. Riddle was writhing and twisting, screaming and flailing and then vanished. | 2 | 322 | ||
| Fanged Frisbee | The thing zoomed around the common room, snarling and attempting to take bites of the tapestry. Crookshanks hissed when it came too close. | 6 | 176 | |
| Decree for Restriction of Underage Wizards | Paragraph C prohibits use of magic by under aged wizards outside of school and in site of muggles. | 5 | 138 | |
| Clause 7 allows use of magic by underaged wizards in exceptional cases such as danger or death. | 5 | 138 | ||
| International Statute of Secrecy | Section 13 prohibits use of magic where Muggles can see | 5 | 138 | |
| ADs Pensieve | A shallow stone basin engraved w/ runes and symbols. | 5 | 529 | |
| Raised wand to his temple and place tip into greasy roots. When w/drew some silvery substance came away stretching from temple to wand like thick gossamer strand which broke as he pulled the wand away and fell gracefully into the penseive where it swirled silvery white, neither gas nor liguid. | 5 | 533 | ||
| Shallow stone basin etched with odd markings around its rim… that stored and revealed thoughts and memories. He opened a crystal bottle containing a swirling silvery-white substance and poured it into the pensieve where they swirled and shimmered, neither liquid nor gas. | 6 | 198 | ||
| Light coming from the pensieve. Silver white contents were ebbing and swirling within. Prodded with end of wand and it turned transparent. | 6 | 639 | ||
| Goblet of Fire | Dumbledore reached inside the chest and pulled out a large, roughly hewn wooden cup which was full to the brim with dancing blue-white flames. | 4 | 255 | |
| As each name enterd the fire, it turned beirfly red and emitted sparks. | 4 | 262 | ||
| The flames inside the goblet turned suddenly red again. Sparks began to fly from it. Next moment, a tongue of flame shot into the air, a charred piece of parchement fluttered out of it-- the whole room gasped. | 4 | 268 | ||
| They hoodwinked a very powerful magical object… It would have taken an exceptionally strong Confundus Charm to bamboozle that goblet into forgetting that only three schools compete in the tournament… I'm guessing they submitted Potter's name under a fourth school, to make sure he was the only one in his category. | 4 | 278 | ||
| Gubraithian Fire | AD bewitched a tree branch to burn ever more. Not something that just any wizard can do | 5 | 0 | |
| Hand of Glory | Withered hand on a cushon. Insert a candle and it gives light only to the holder! Best friend of thieves and plunderers! | 2 | 53 | |
| Heavy Locket - Black's house | There was a heavy locket that none of them could open that Harry threw into the "Garbage" sack along with several other od and undefined magical objects. | 5 | 116 | |
| Mirror of Erised | It was a magnificent mirror, as high as the ceiling, with an ornate gold frame, standing on two clawed feet. There was an inscription carved around the top: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi." In the mirror he saw two people standing behind him, his parents and other family members! | 1 | 207 | |
| in the mirror Ron saw himself older and as head boy just like Bill used to be, and "I'm holding the Quidditch cup, I'm Quidditch captain too." | 1 | 210 | ||
| Harry saw his parents again smiling at him and one of his grandfathers nodding happily. | 1 | 212 | ||
| The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible. | 1 | 213 | ||
| Quick Quotes Quill | A long acid-green quill. She sucked on it with relish then put it on the parchment. As she thought it started to scribble, skidding across the parchment with the words she was thinking. She held out one of her mannish hands to Dumbledore. | 4 | 304 | |
| Sorting Hat | On top of the stool was placed a pointed wizards hat which was patched, frayed and extremely dirty. The hat twitched and a rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth and it began to sing an original song about the origins of Hogwarts. It explained that students who are brave at heart with daring, nerve and chivalry are put in Gryffindor; those just, loyal, hardworking and patient in Hufflepuff; wise, witty and intelligent in Ravenclaw; and, those cunning, who use any means to achieve their goals into Slytherin. | 1 | 117 | |
| This aged old hat, patched, frayed and dirty, sorted new students into the four Hogwarts houses. | 2 | 77 | ||
| Harry slammed the hat onto his head and though "help me-- help me-- please help me--" The hat contracted as though an invisible hand was squeezing and a long, hard sword hit him on the head. | 2 | 319 | ||
| St Mungos greeting dummy | Tonks said "wotcher - were here to see Arthur Weasley" and the dummy nodded, beckoned its jointed finger, activated glass so they could walk through. No muggles noticed. | 5 | 483 | |
| Strange Silver Instrument | Fragile silver instrument. Tapped w/ wand gently & rhythmic clinking noises, tiny puffs of pale green smoke came from miniscule silver tube @ top. After few seconds smoke became steady stream of smoke that thickened & coiled in air, serpent head grew out of end of it opening mouth wide. Serpent divided itself into two snakes. Another tap of wand stopped it. | 5 | 470 | |
| Strangling Opal Necklace | Magnificent necklace of Opals with the sign "Caution: Do Not Touch, Cursed-- Has claimed the lives of Nineteen Muggle Owners to Date. | 2 | 53 | |
| Sword of Godric Gryffindor | A gleaming silver sword had appeared inside the hat, its handle glittering with rubies the size of eggs. Engraved, just below the hilt, was Godric Gryffindor. "Only a true Gryffindor could have pulled that out of the hat," Dumbledore told him. | 2 | 320 | |
| Tri-Wizard Casket | Mr Filtch came up the isle carrying a great wooden chest encrusted with jewels. Dumbledore tapped the chest three times and the lid creaked slowly open. He reached inside and pulled out the Goblet of Fire. | 4 | 254 | |
| Vanishing Cabinet | The wreckage of a large black-and-gold, extremely valuable, vanishing cabinet broken by Peeves right over Filtch's office. | 2 | 128 | |
| Weasleys Grandfather Clock | It was in the corner and was completely useless if you wanted to know the time, but otherwise very information. It had nine golden hands, and each of them was engraved with one of the Weasley family's names. There were no numerals around the face, but descriptions of where each family member might be. "Home," "School," and "work" were there, but there was also "traveling," "lost," "hospital," "Prison," and, in the position where the number twelve would be on a normal clock, "mortal peril." | 4 | 151 | |
| Brain in a tank | It burst from the tank of greed-liquid like a leaping fish. As it came, what looked like ribbons of moving images flew from it, unraveling like rolls of film. When it made contact with Ron's skin the tentacles began wrapping themselves around Ron's arms like ropes. The thin ribbons were spinning around Ron's chest. He tugged and tore at them as the brain was pulled tight against him like an octopus's body. Diffindo spell didn't remove it. | 5 | 798 | |
| Fountain of Magical Fountain of Magical Brethern | A group of golden statues, larger than life-size, stood in the middle of a circular pool. Tallest of them all was a noble-looking wizard with his wand pointing straight up in the air. Grouped around him were a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin, and a house elf. The last three were all looking adoringly up at the witch and wizard. Glittering jets of water were flying from the ends of the two wands, the point of the centaur's arrow, the tip of the goblin's hat and each of the house-elf's ears, producing the tinkling hiss of falling water. | 5 | 127 | |
| The wizard had a handsome face but up close Harry though he looked weak and foolish. The witch was wearing a vapid smile like a beauty contestant and the Goblin and Centaur were most unlikely to be caught staring this soppily at humans of any description. Only the House Elf's attitude of creeping servility looked convincing. | 5 | 136 | ||
| pmo Fireplace | Bright green flames burst into life in the empty grate beneath his marble mantlepiece… rather fine antique rug in front. | 6 | 3 | |
| Devils Snare | Soft plant which twists snakelike tendrils around a persons body until it strangles them. The more they strained against it, the tighter and faster the plant wound around them. It likes the dark and damp and is put off by flames. | 1 | 277 | |
| Mimbulus Mimbletonia | It appeared to be a small gray cactus in a pot, except that it was covered with what looked like boils rather than spines. When poked with a wand liquid squirted from every boil on the plant, thick, stinking, dark green jets of it; they hit the ceiling, the windows, and spattered Luna's magazine with green slime smelling like rancid manure. | 5 | 186 | |
| Beauxbaton's' Flying Carriage | The gigantic black shape skimmed over the treetops. They saw that it was an enormous, powder-blue, horse-drawn carriage, the size of a large house, soaring toward them, pulled through the air by a dozen winged horses, all palominos, and each the size of an elephant… the door bore a coat of arms (two crossed, golden wands, each emitting three stars). | 4 | 243 | |
| Durmstrang's Boat | In the middle of the lake a whirlpool appeared… a long, black pole rose out of it followed by rigging and a magnificent ship, gleaming in the moonlight. It had a strange skeletal look as though it were a resurrected wreck, and the dim, misty lights shimmering at its portholes looked like ghostly eyes. It bobbed out of the turbulent water and glided toward the bank splashing an anchor and lowering a plank to the bank. | 4 | 246 | |
| Knight Bus | In the day it's filled w/ chairs which fall over when bus bangs to a stop. Soomeones shopping bag had slid the length of the bus; an unpleasant mixture of frog spawn, cockraaches and custard creams was scattered on floor. | 5 | 525 | |
| outside birmingham motorway … jumped to a quiet country lane full of hairpin turns w/ hedge rows leaping out the way..to a main st in a busy town.. Then to a viaduct surrounded by tall hills.. Then to wind swept road bwtween high rise flats each time w/ a loud Bang. | 5 | 526 | ||
| Port Key | Using an old boot they all stood in a tight circle touching it with at least one finger. Immediately, at the appointed time, Harry felt as though a hook behind his navel had been suddenly jerked irresistibly forward. His feet left the ground; he could feel Ron and Hermione on either side of him, their shoulders banging into his; they were all speeding forward in a howl of wind and swirling color; his forefinger was stuck to the boot as though it was pulling him magnetically onward and then- his feet slammed into the ground; Ron staggered into him and he fell over; the Portkey hit the ground with a thud. Most were on the ground the others were still standing but looked very windswept. | 4 | 72 | |

| 1 | 215 | |||
| Harry did the best he could, trying to ignore the stabbing pains in his forehead, which had been bothering him ever since his trip into the forest. He couldn't sleep… his old nightmares had returned except that it was now worse than ever because there was a hooded figure dripping blood in it. | 1 | 263 | ||
