Dungeons (Harry Potter)

The dungeons of Hogwarts Castle were located under Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was colder there than in the main castle. The Potions classroom was located in the dungeons, as was the entrance to the Slytherin common room. The dungeons were also once used as places of detention according to Argus Filch, where misbehaving students would be hung from their thumbs in the dungeons. - Chapter 25 (The Forbidden Forest)

==Portraits==
Elizabeth Burke's portrait was hung here in the 1995–1996 school year, connecting it with the Entrance Dungeon. She gave special passage to the main dungeons to Slytherins who said the password "Slytherins are supreme".Professor Basil Fronsac's portrait was hung here in the 1996–1997 school year, connecting it with the Grand Staircase.
==Behind the scenes==
*In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, all of the Slytherins were sent to the Dungeons until they escaped at the start of the Battle of Hogwarts. However, this is not canon, as Minerva McGonagall does not send Slytherins into the dungeons in the book, as she instead orders those unwilling to fight to leave the school.
