"Are you a wizard, or what?"

The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is a conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.

The Central tower is one of the many towers of Hogwarts Castle. It sits atop the Long Gallery and overlooks the Viaduct Entrance. It is also near the Herbology greenhouses.

History

On 2 May, 1998, during the Battle of Hogwarts, this tower was almost completely blown up.

Behind the scenes

In the first two films, the tower had a square base and rounded top with a round spire. It had a balcony on each side and a smaller tower on each corner. From the Prisoner of Azkaban film to the Order of the Phoenix film, it changed to being completely square without any balconies. In the Half-Blood Prince film onwards, the tower is shorter.
This tower may be the Ravenclaw Tower, since it is one of the main towers in the castle.

+*This tower may be the [[Ravenclaw Tower]], since it is one of the main towers in the castle.
-*In the first two films, the tower was quite short and had small "balcony-like areas" below the turrets at the top. From the [[Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)|''Prisoner of Azkaban'' film]] onwards, it changed to being taller, thinner, having taller spires and no "balcony-like area".
-*This tower may be the [[Ravenclaw Tower]], since it is one of the three main towers in the castle (the others being [[Grand Staircase Tower]] and [[Astronomy Tower]]).
-*This tower may also house the [[Hogwarts Library]]. This would make sense as [[Ravenclaw]] prizes intelligence.
-*There is a [[Central Tower Courtyard|courtyard]] by this tower. The [[First Floor Corridor]] passes around it.
