British Ministry of Magic floor directory

This is a **floor directory** for the Ministry of Magic.

## Levels

***Important note:** As the entire Ministry is underground, the higher the floor number, the deeper the floor is. (Although the texts do not normally use the prefix "B-" on floor numbers to denote underground floors, they are used in this article to comply with standard usage and for purposes of clarity.)*

### Vertical transportation directory

The main lift (in reality a disguised telephone booth) transports visitors from ground level to the Atrium on Basement Level 8. To activate the main lift, visitors had to dial *62442* (spelling "*magic*"). At least twenty[*citation needed*] service lifts stopped at every floor between Basement Level 1 and Basement Level 9. Stairways must be used to access the courtrooms at Basement Level 10.
