Porticus Periculum

The Porticus Periculum was a hall at Hogwarts Castle.^[1]^[2]

Behind the scenes[]

This hall can only be seen on the Marauder's Map replica on display at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
A "Porticus" is an entrance-porch of a church. "Periculum" is a Latin noun meaning "danger" and is also the name of a spell to conjure red sparks.
This may be a variant of the Siege Perilous of Arthurian legend, or the comic book "reinterpretation" of that concept.
