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 common room is at the top of a spiral staircase, and is a door without a doorknob or keyhole but a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. In order to enter the room, a person must answer a riddle asked by the eagle knocker; if they answer incorrectly, they must wait for someone else who gets it right.

Ravenclaw Common Room
&nbsp 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 soft blue 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 1 May, 1998, when Amycus Carrow was looking for Harry Potter.HarryLunaFinalBattle.jpg
 * It is thought that the Ravenclaw Tower could possibly be the Central Tower as it is one of the tallest Hogwarts Towers. It could also be the Stone Bridge Tower, since that was one of the only towers to change in Deathly Hallows.
 * However, due to the Common Room not appearing in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, we still get to view the stairwell inside the Tower and briefly you can see the Common Room's door.
 * In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 it is strange that Harry knows where the common room is despite not going there in previous films. In the novel Luna Lovegood takes him to the Tower, although he could have found where the common room was by examining the Marauder's Map.
