— Notice outside the classroom[src]

Classroom 1B,[1] also known as the Transfiguration Classroom,[2] was a classroom on the ground-floor of Hogwarts Castle, accessible from the Middle Courtyard.[3][4]

Description[]

Transfiguration class 1992

McGonagall teaching in her classroom

The classroom was big, surrounded by high windows, had four rows of three desks, and still had enough room for several cages and bookshelves, two golden cat statues, two chalkboards, and a desk for the professor. Several candlesticks stood lit behind the desk.[3][4]

History[]

Assembly Hall

The classroom in 1994

Professor Minerva McGonagall and Professor Matilda Weasley both taught their Transfiguration classes in this classroom during their tenures as the Transfiguration professor.[1][5]

During the 1890–1891 school year, Professor Weasley kept the product of a failed Vera Verto attempt in her classroom as a warning to her students who did not take the subject of Transfiguration seriously.

During the 1986–1987 school year, Jacob's sibling and Bill Weasley approached Tulip Karasu in this clasroom, who was busy writing with her pet toad Dennis.[6]

In 1994, she used her classroom to teach her Gryffindor students dancing lessons, in preparation for the upcoming Yule Ball on 25 December.[7]
