Long since abandoned for any real school business, these dungeons were sealed off long before anyone cane remember. They will only open for authorized people, however, there are rumors that some students have managed to sneak past the barrier...

Situated just below the Great Hall, the Kitchens may be reached by tickling the pear in a painting of fruit. There are over a hundred House Elves scurrying to make food for the students and professors.

The grand entrance hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The hub of the school, so to speak, since everyone walks through here to get to the Great Hall, to eat or attend events.

The biggest room in Hogwarts Castle, except maybe for the Room of Requirement at certain times, this place hosts all the house tables, and the hourglasses that keep track of all house points. All feasts and dances are held here, and random exhibitions and special lectures, if needed.

If students get caught out after hours by Filch, they might find themselves being dragged here to his office.

The place where Firenze used to teach Divination, this classroom remains transformed into a forest like habitat. However, the centaur has since returned to the forest, his herd finally allowing him back after an attack on the herd over the summer.

Where the History of Magic classrooms can be found, as well as the current professor's office.

The classroom and office for Magical Creatures.

This is the place where students learn the darker aspects of magic, and creatures.

With the appropriate password, this gargoyle leaps aside to reveal the staircase that leads to the Headmasters' office.

Myrtle, the tragic first victim of Tom Riddle, has long resided here as a ghost. She hates company, preferring to wail and wallow in self-pity and depression. The loo is abandoned, mostly. Also, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets resides here.

Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go. And this is where the females that reside at Hogwarts can go to go.

A great place to hide if you're being chased after. Holds brooms, and cleaning supplies.

The place where Fluffy used to reside, this is now just another abandoned room in the castle. Full of dust, and probably a few spiders, students may come here if they should so wish.

Where the Charms classrooms can be found, as well as the current professor's office.

This is Madam Pomfrey's domain. Are you sick? Have you been injured? Are there any parts of your body that are missing bones? Come here for help!

The Arithmancy Classroom and Office

Books and Books and Books...enough said, right? The librarian is god here. Beware, he or she may turn you into a newt if you mistreat the books.

Another empty classroom for students to snog shamelessly in. Not that we condone that sort of thing here at Hogwarts.

A place for the prefects in the school to bathe, this place features a huge swimming pool type tub, as well as several taps with different soaps that come out of them.

Located just off the seventh floor corridor, this room will pretty much give you everything you require. It should be noted, as according to Hermione Granger, it is not the Room of Vague Interest, and should only be used when absolutely needed.

Class abolished in accordance to the new Headmasters changes.

The Astronomy Tower is the highest point in Hogwarts castle. From the tower, you can see out over the forest and the lake, and for several miles beyond that. It is the perfect place for romance, and many students may be found snogging here. Also, Astronomy class is held here.

This tower contains the Owlery, a place that reeks of Owl droppings and parchment from letters that students send.

The top of the school, many students can be found up here at different times of the day, or night.

.......

...

Herbology is held here, and magical plants are grown here.

The Lake with the giant squid in it

Where Quidditch games and practices and all quidditch related activities are held.

It's a forest and it's forbidden... evil stuff's here...

The perfect day out for the students. There are shops, activities and a nice high street. Also some great sites such as the "Shrieking Shack" which is the most haunted house in Britain. Trips will be organised here and students will be allowed to enter.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

This is the place where criminals are kept. Since the loss of the dementors, this place is now tightly secured by wizards. There is no escape from this island.

Tapping just the right brick in the wall behind the Leaky Cauldron pub in London ("Three up...two across...") will reveal an archway which is a portal into Diagon Alley - what used to be a popular wizarding shopping area. Since the Death Eater attack on December 28, 1997, however, Diagon Alley is now nothing but ruins.

Knockturn Alley is a dingy alleyway where the shops are devoted to Dark Arts items. The alley is connected to Diagon Alley near Gringotts. There are stores selling shrunken heads, live gigantic black spiders, and poisonous candles. Street vendors include an old witch with a tray full of whole human fingernails. And somewhere in the alley, according to Hagrid, someone sells Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent.

Other locations in the world.
--Ministry of Magic
--St. Mungo's Hospital

Where YOU live.
Students are not allowed to create their own residences at this time.

A hidden garden in which, according to a muggle religion was the birthplace of humanity. Know one knows its exact location.

The seal exsists on an island in the middle of the bermuda triangle. However the spells protecting this have become corrupt and as a result some things that go into the triangle vanish.

Just of the coast of the Isle of Jura, the UKs only whirlpool, is the entrance to a seal. It is only entrancable when the whirlpool is active.

The lost city of Atlantis, the birth place of Dessan. Was long ago covered up to prevent mugggles finding it.

An anceint city,lost like Atlantis to hide it from the muggles but which has move decended into local legend as deeply evil place.
