Ravenclaw Tower

Ravenclaw Tower is located on the west side of Hogwarts, presumably on the fifth floor, and is the location of the Ravenclaw common room and dormitories. The entrance to the room is at the top of a spiral staircase, and is a door without doorknob or keyhole but a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. In order to enter the room, you must answer a question asked by the eagle knocker; if you answer wrong, you must wait for someone who gets it right.

Ravenclaw Common Room
The Ravenclaw common room is one of the more airy rooms at Hogwarts. It is a wide, circular room with a midnight blue carpet, arched windows hung with blue and bronze silks, and a domed ceiling painted with stars. During the day, the Ravenclaw students have an excellent view of the surrounding mountains. The room is furnished with tables, chairs, and bookcases; and by the door leading up to the dormitories, there is a tall statue of Rowena Ravenclaw made of white marble. It is the highest tower excluding the Astronomy Tower.

Behind the Scenes
As the entrance to Ravenclaw Tower require an answer to a riddle rather than a password, logical thinkers such as Hermione Granger would probably find it easy to enter the tower.
