Room of Hidden Things[]

Should we have a seperate article for this? I think it deserves one, being the location of several major events, but I wanted to check what other users thought. QuidditchLover^{(My talk)(contribs)} 03:23, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think a separate article is necessary, but the "History of Use" section could probably by retitled, expanded, and divided into each of the room's known forms:

Room of Hidden Things
Dumbledore's Army room (1995-1996 school year)
Dumbledore's Army room (1997-1998 school year)
Chamberpot room (mentioned by Dumbledore in GoF)
House-elf sobriety room (used by Dobby for Winky)
Cleaning supplies closet (Dobby mentions Filch finding it like this once)
Broom cupboard (Fred and George mention hiding from Filch in here)

The "Items Hidden Inside" section could also be relocated under the Room of Hidden Things, with a similar section added for each version of the D.A. room at least. - Nick O'Demus 09:36, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

That sounds okay... although it sounds like a massive re-write.. Hmm.. Maybe I'll try it out. QuidditchLover

Destruction[]

Was it destroyed by the Fiendfyre? What happened to the room, did the room never work anymore, or was everything in it destroyed, or was it on fire if you entered, or did the fire burn out, or did it get stinguished, or did everything go back to normal once everyone got out? 75.27.36.231 16:52, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Summoning Charm[]

I was under the impression that the diadem wouldn't come because it was horcrux, not specifically because it was in the room of hidden things. --BachLynn^(Accio!) 00:22, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

HP3 movie appearing?[]

I can't give a screenshot, but when Harry Potter is searching for Peter Pettigrew in the castle, you can briefly see room down their names. Could this being this room? It's also not far from the portraits. --Station7 22:30, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Doesn't seem likely - the books indicate that the Room doesn't show up on the map. Is there a particular reason you think it would be this room? ProfessorTofty 22:49, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

First of all, I see "Room" briefly in the movie. There's nothing down there. It's possible, but yes it's unlikely that that's room. It's just a theory, but I saw it, and I did want to share it with everyone here. --Station7 09:31, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Why did The Room of Requirement open for Draco ?[]

In Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Room of Requirement opened itself for Draco, Crabble and Goyle so they can stop Harry in destroying Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem (a Horcrux). But before it was explained how TRR would only open itself (as not-a-broom-cupboard) if the person really needs it.
So why did it open to Draco, and didn't open to (E.G.) Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix. D. Umbridge did need it - to stop Dumbledore's Army. But it didn't open for her and she had to breach throught.
Draco also needed to stop Harry in destroying a Horcrux - and it did open for him.
Both of these needs are very negative - but TRR opened itself only to Draco.
So does TRR open itself only if a person really needs it, regardless of his intentions, whether good or bad ?
Or does it only open if the person's intentions are good ?
Or something else, perhaps ?
Please send me an owl and note that I havent got to the 5th (or 8th, obviously) book yet. --Dinex04 (talk) 09:51, August 24, 2015 (UTC)

The room is always equipped for the seeker's needs. If Draco doesn't want anyone else to be able to get in — it'll do it. --RogueOwner (talk) 00:53, April 22, 2019 (UTC)

Updating The Image[]

Hi, just wondering, can I change the current image of The Room of Requirement to this image?

The current image is from Order of the Pheonix, So I would like to change it to the more recent one, which is from the Half-Blood Prince movie. AbhirajV (talk). 09:18, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Oppose. This image is low quality, and its pixels are visible. The current one provides a clearer view of the room. - Peregino (talk)

Hey Peregino, thanks for the feedback about the image, i am now using a higher quality image of just Harry in which we can see most of the stuffs present there from the movie Half-Blood Prince AbhirajV (talk). 09:42, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

There are still hundreds of higher-quality images than this one. To clarify, I oppose any image change because the current one is fine as it is. If you insist on continuing, please wait for other inputs first. - Peregino (talk)
