The Bell Towers were two square towers that rose over the main entrance to the greenhouses of Hogwarts Castle.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Between the two towers were a set of double wooden doors which led to the Bell Tower Entrance Hall.[8]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the first two films, the towers were quite short and had small, balcony-like areas below the turrets at the top.
- From the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban onwards, they changed to being taller, with taller spires and no balcony-like areas.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Training Grounds Tower changed into another Bell Tower, but this one was slightly shorter.
- In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, there is a bell in the Viaduct Courtyard during the Battle of Hogwarts. This bell is shot loose by the Death Eaters.
- The Bell Towers from the third film onwards have a very similar appearance to the west towers of Durham Cathedral, though the Hogwarts towers have spires on top, and are probably CGI creations.
- In Hogwarts Legacy, the northernmost Bell Tower contained a hall for the Frog Choir to practice on the sixth floor, but this cannot be considered canonical, as the Wizarding World article about Celestina Warbeck says a choir had not been founded when she enrolled in 1928.[9]
