Changes: Boathouse

Revision as of 20:51, 29 October 2015

"The little boats carried them through a curtain of ivy which hid a wide opening in the cliff face. They were carried along a dark tunnel, which seemed to be taking them right underneath the castle, until they reached a kind of under-ground harbour, where they clambered out onto the rocks."

— The First year students' boat journey to Hogwarts.^[src]

The Boathouse is an underground harbour at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where the boats are stored and where they dock when the first years arrive at Hogwarts Castle every 1 September. Until 1995 a portrait of Percival Pratt hung on one of the walls, concealing a shortcut to the Grand Staircase. There are some rafters in the ceiling, that are used to store the small wooden boats. Seagulls can be seen around the area of the boathouse.

DH2 Boat House — Interior look of the Boathouse.

After Pratt's portrait was taken away from the Boathouse, there were only three entrances to this building: The path outside The Quad, the stairs going down from the Entrance Courtyard and the Lake. Harry Potter met Luna Lovegood here to go to the Slug Club Christmas party in 1996. Also, fireworks were set from the Boathouse exterior, to signal the start of said party.

Behind the scenes

Dhsnape — Snape about to die in the Boathouse.

While the Boathouse is described as an "underground harbour" in the novels, both the film and video game adaptations depict it as an exterior building.
The Boathouse was redesigned for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 for Severus Snape's death to take place in it, instead of the Shrieking Shack, taking the shape of a crystal house. ^[1]
