There was an amount of bathing and showering areas available for students at Hogwarts Castle. While the exact number of Hogwarts bathing areas was uncertain, a few were known to exist.

Known areas[]

Prefects' Bathroom[]

Main article: Prefects' Bathroom

The Prefects' Bathroom was a luxurious facility reserved for school Prefects, Head Boys, Head Girls and Quidditch Captains. It featured a deep pool with taps dispensing various bubble baths, a calming atmosphere enhanced by a stained-glass window, and a portrait of a mermaid.[1]

1993 shower area[]

""Where is Wood?" said Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn't there. "Still in the showers," said Fred. "We think he's trying to drown himself.""
— Oliver Wood using the shower area[src]

In 1993, after defeating in a Quidditch match, Oliver Wood went showering there. Meanwhile, Fred Weasley jokingly claimed to Harry Potter that they thought Oliver, who was still in the showers, was trying to drown himself.[2]

1995 bath area[]

"Ron and Ginny went off for baths after dinner; Harry and Hermione returned to the busy Gryffindor common room and their usual pile of homework."
— Ron and Ginny Weasley going off for baths[src]

At some point in 1996, after having Quidditch practice and dinner, Ron and Ginny Weasley went off for baths.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

  • The Prefects' Bathroom is the only Hogwarts shower area that is actually shown rather than just mentioned. It is also the only shower area with a known exact location.
  • In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry could be seen exiting an unexplored room in the Gryffindor Boys' Dormitory with a toothbrush in his hand during his and Ron's preparation for the Yule Ball, implying that there was a washroom in the dormitory. However, it is unknown whether the room can be used for bathing or only for basic cleansing, such as toothbrushing.
