Ravenclaw Tower

The Ravenclaw Tower is located on the west side of Hogwarts, the staircase leading up to the common room is presumably located 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, a person must answer a question asked by the eagle knocker; if they answer incorrectly, they must wait for someone else who gets it right.

Ravenclaw Common Room
The Ravenclaw common room is one of the most airy rooms at Hogwarts. It is a wide, circular room with a midnight blue carpet, arched windows hung with blue and soft, 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.

Behind the scenes

 * As the entrance to Ravenclaw Tower requires an answer to a riddle rather than a password, it seems to be relatively easy for members of other Houses to enter the common room if they are intelligent enough. For example, Minerva McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor House, entered the tower on 2 May, 1998, when Amycus Carrow was looking for Harry Potter.
 * It is thought that the Ravenclaw Tower could possibly be the Central Tower as it is one of the tallest Hogwarts Towers.
