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]
In the 1992–1993 school year, a new game was held at the Club: there were prizes available for all who were able to collect specific Card sets. The prizes were kept in locked chests in a smaller backroom.[4]
During this school year, the Club still occupied Classroom 5B. The Wizard Card Collectors' Club boy kept the game he had started the previous year, and refilled the chests with other prizes for completing one's collection.[2]
