Behind the Scenes

Classroom1c — The building in the first two films

In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the classroom is shown to be in the south side of the Middle Courtyard. In Chamber of Secrets, the classroom remains there, but in Prisoner of Azkaban and the subquent film adaptations, it is moved to the east side of the courtyard, since the former buiding is replaced by the Dark and Astronomy Towers.
In film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a different set was used to portray this classroom. But in the video game adaption it resumes its layout from the the first and second film and the fifth video game.
When Minerva McGonagall taught the students to dance in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the room used to portray the classroom was the one used to portray the hospital wing in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
