"The passageway leading to Nearly Headless Nick's party had been lined with candles, too, though the effect was far from cheerful: These were long, thin, jet-black tapers, all burning bright blue, casting a dim, ghostly light even over their own living faces. The temperature dropped with every step they took. As Harry shivered and drew his robes tightly around him, he heard what sounded like a thousand fingernails scraping an enormous blackboard."

— Description

The Deathday Party Hall (also known as the Deathday Party Room) was one of the roomier dungeons at Hogwarts Castle. The room was accessible via the Dungeon Staircase.

Description

During the late 19th century, a tapestry featuring the Coat of Arms of the Headless Hunt was hung in the hall, possibly as an attempt by Sir Nicholas to curry favour with the Headless Hunt.

History

On 31 October 1992, this dungeon was where Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington's five-hundredth Deathday Party was held. Decorations for the event included several black velvet draperies, and a chandelier covered with jet black candles with bright blue flames.

Behind the scenes

• It is possible that this was the same room as the Deathday Ballroom, which was located in the dungeons too.
