Classrooms & Common Rooms

## Common Rooms

Once you get sorted into your Hogwarts house, one of the first steps you can take is going to your common room and interacting with the Head of House NPC to get started. On this page, you can find the route to every common room from the Great Hall.

### **Getting In**

Although getting into a common room might seem frustrating and hard at first, it is easy to do once learned.
Every house has its own entrance that has a door. The doors are locked using passwords. The passwords change every once in a while, which is why you should check your house's password frequently. To do so, you can use the /password command. This will give you your house's password. **Do not share this, as this could get you into trouble.** Once near the entrance of your house, right click the door once. After this you'll want to run the /cunlock (password) command, replace (password) with your house's password you got via /password (without the parentheses!) and the door should be unlocked. You can open it, don't forget to close it. **Being in another house's common room is a punishable offense**

#### **Gryffindor**

The route to the Gryffindor Common Room is the easiest out of all of them. The Gryffindor Common Room is at the very top of the Grand Staircase, just one stair above the seventh floor corridor.

#### **Hufflepuff**

From the great hall, take a right and head to the grand staircase. From here, head down and to the left where you will see a door with the sign "Basement Corridor" above it. Enter here and head down the spiral staircase. Once you reach the bottom, you'll be hit with 3 corridors - go down the one to your right. Next, walk through the corridor until you reach a staircase. Head up until you see a gap in the wall on the left - go through that gap! Head down the stairs from that gap and you will see the entrance to the Hufflepuff Commons! On the right wall you will see a button - click that and another staircase will open allowing you to get to the door to the common room!

#### **Slytherin**

First, walk all the way to the bottom of the Grand Staircase. Once you get there, you’ll see a door labeled “The Dungeons.”  Walk all the way down the corridor and across the bridge and past the first room you see until you get to a small corridor. Then, walk straight down the stairs and the common room will be to your right.

#### **Ravenclaw**

Start walking up the grand staircase and then go right when you see the first floor corridor. Keep walking up until you see the third floor corridor, then take a right and keep going up until you see the fourth floor corridor. Then, go all the way down the corridor and go to your right once you walk all the way down.

## Classrooms

Hogwarts is a big place, it's surprising that the students don't carry a map with them all the time! However, we know how daunting such a large castle can be, so here are the directions to each classroom from the Great Hall!

Look for a darker section of the wall on the stairs, and then head through a banner in the center of it. You’ll find yourself in a small corridor so be sure to keep walking down until you walk out of the painting. Keep walking down the corridor until you see a smaller corridor with a sign labelled “Alchemy” over it. Now, just walk in and you’re there! One can also search through the Divination Tower staircase to maybe find a shortcut...

#### **Flying**

In order to make it to the Flying Area/Classroom, one must locate the second floor corridor off the Grand Staircase. And then from there one must walk past the hallway until they reach the "arch" nearest to the end of the hallway. Follow the little pathway down until you get into this room with a bunch of ad's on it. There should be a large wooden bridge at the end of that room. Follow that bridge to the end and then go into the little red and orange hallway and take the first left down. Pass the Ghoul Studies classroom and then take a left near the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. Follow that hallway all the way down until you reach a door, open that door and you should see an npc named Tilly. For future references this is where you can buy tags. Now take the door down and walk the small concrete path until the path gets bigger. Once you reach the part where the path widens largely stop and go northeast (f3) until you see a bunch of rocks in a sort of circle shape. And you should be in the Flying Area!

Happy Flying!
