## Description

Four-poster beds were covered in red eiderdowns with red curtains, a nightstand next to it and their school trunks at the foot of their bed. A yellow banner that said Gryffindor with their house mascot was hung on top of their bed. A wooden chair and dresser were near the bed. A lamp was placed on their dresser and on their wooden board. A wooden board was situated on either side of their bed for students to decorate. The dorm had stone walls and wooden floors. The windows had red curtains. There was also a white pillow on the floor, a perch on their dresser, and a snuffbox on top of their trunk for their pets. The dorm had a red and yellow carpet with the house crest in the centre of it.
The four-poster beds were covered in the house colours with the house crest on them. The four poster beds had two shelves at the back of the bed, an owl perch on one side, a small carpet next to the bed and a wooden nightstand at the end of the bed on one side. There was a wooden table in the centre of the dormitory with a stack of books with an hourglass on top of them, an open book with a ***Self-Writing Quill***, parchments and a plant in a flower pot on it. The dorm had a centrally located stove in the centre of the dormitory next to the table.
The staircase to the girl's dormitory was enchanted so that if a boy attempted to enter the dormitory, a wailing klaxon went off and the staircase turned into a stone slide, sending them back to the Common Room. According to *Hogwarts: A History*, the founders believed that girls were more trustworthy than boys, so while the girls' staircase was enchanted to prevent boys from getting in, the boys' staircase did not carry a reciprocal enchantment.

## Behind the scenes

* Despite the Girl's Dormitory's exterior being shown in films and books, the interior was only seen in the console versions of the *Prisoner of Azkaban* video game, except for a very brief appearance in the *Philosopher's Stone* film.
* In Deathly HHallows, Hermione Granger mentions that she summoned the library books about Horcruxes from the Headmaster's Office using the Summoning Charm, and that she was able to watch them fly out of the windows of the Headmaster's Office and into the window of the Gryffindor Girls' Dormitory where she stood. This suggests that at least one window of the dormitory had a clear view of the ***Headmaster's Tower***, which is attached to the ***Marble Staircase Tower***.
