Classroom 5B (also referred to as Card Trading Club room) is a small, disused classroom located on the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle.[1] As long as it was unused as a teaching facility, this classroom served as headquarters of the Wizard Card Collectors' Club.[2]

The space is usually messy and has a laid-back atmosphere, with posters and announcement boards on the walls.[3][4][2] There is also old classroom furniture, such as bookshelves, writing desks, a planisphere and a blackboard.[1] The room contains a large main area for meetings, trading cards and playing card games. There is also a backroom containing locked chests with prizes that can only be acquired by collecting specific Chocolate Frog Card sets.[4][2]
