The Map Chamber was a chamber that was located deep below Hogwarts Castle that held the portraits of the Keepers, the four guardians of ancient magic.[2][1]
Description[]
The Map Chamber was a large, light-filled cavern. architecture of the Map Chamber reflected the era of the Keepers, the Tudor era with its Tudor-style trefoil arches. The Map Chamber featured a water wall and a tower of flame with a statue of an elemental being standing watch. A Pensieve was set on a podium and at its base was a silhouette of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry carved in wood.[1]
There were fours portraits for each of the Keepers. If book was put the podium, it would release ancient magic to reveal a spectral map of the area. It would signal the location of four trials for a student who could perceive ancient magic.[3]
Finding the chamber[]
In order to lead a student to it, the Keepers created a trail. They opened a vault at Gringotts for which the key was put in a special casing. It could only be opened by someone who could perceive ancient magic.[4]
Once they entered the vault, they would find a pensieve with a locket levitating above it. The locket had a memory inside of two Keepers creating the vault. If the inscription on the locket was read, it opened to reveal a map. The map led to the Restricted Section where there was a hidden entrance to the Athenaeum. Its Antechamber had a pensieve with a book levitating above it. The book contained a map to the Map Chamber.
History[]
The chamber was built in the Tudor period by the Keepers.
During the 1890–1891 school year, a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with the ability to find ancient magic found the Map Chamber with the help of Professor Eleazar Fig.
