Slytherin Entire Dungeon

The Slytherin Dungeon, also known as the Slytherin Common Room, served as the common room for students in Slytherin house at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In general, it sported several shades of green and the mantle was adorned with a portrait of a serpent (all associated with the house).
==History==
In Harry Potter's second year, he and Ron Weasley went into the Slytherin common room disguised as Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle with the aid of Polyjuice Potion to attempt to discover the identity of the Heir of Slytherin. The entry password was "Pure-blood" when Draco Malfoy let them in. The Polyjuice Potion's wearing off prompted Harry and Ron to leave after staying nearly an hour, still not finding out the identity of the Heir of Slytherin, but they did learn that Malfoy was not the heir, as they originally thought.
==Entrance==
There was a door on the right side of the Entrance Hall (if coming down the marble staircase facing the front doors of the castle) that was most frequently used by Slytherin students to get to their common room. Behind the door was a set of stone steps which descended deep into the dungeons.Note that this door was different from the entrance to the narrow staircase that lead down to Snape's office.The entrance to the common room was located behind a bare stretch of stone wall in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle. A password was required to enter it; once spoken, the body of a stone serpent would rise from the floor right before the wall and form an arch, only under that arch was the passage leading to the common room made visible. - Information revealed if the player is Slytherin.
==Common room==
The common room was a dungeon-like room with greenish lamps and chairs. This dungeon extended partway under the lake, giving the light in the room a green tinge. The common room had lots of low backed black and dark green button-tufted, leather sofas; skulls; and dark wood cupboards. It was decorated with tapestries featuring the adventures of famous Medieval Slytherins. It had quite a grand atmosphere, but also quite a cold one. It is close to boys and girls' dormitories.The password to the common room changed every fortnight, and was posted on the noticeboard. Slytherin students were warned never to bring students from other houses into the common room, or to reveal the password. Supposedly, no outsider had entered the common room for more than seven centuries until Harry and Ron entered it, disguised as Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle with the use of Polyjuice Potion.

==Behind the scenes==
*Revealed in : It was revealed that often the Giant Squid appears at the windows, and sometimes more interesting creatures, and that the sound of swishing water is relaxing at night.
*The Slytherin common room as seen in the film differs from its description in the book. In the book it is described as low, but in the film it appears to have a high ceiling.
*In its entry for the Bloody Baron, the glossary on the Scholastic official website mistakenly refers to the Slytherin common room as Slytherin Tower. A similar error is made with the Hufflepuff Basement.
*If no non-Slytherins have entered the Common Room for seven centuries as of 1991, this means that the last time a non-Slytherin entered it was in the late 13th century.
*In Hogwarts Mystery, if the player character is a Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, they sneak into the Slytherin Common Room and get caught by Severus Snape and Felix Rosier. As the game is set in the 1980s, this seems to contradict Gemma Farley's statement that no non-Slytherin had entered the room for centuries.
