The Defence Against the Dark Arts Tower is one of the many towers of Hogwarts Castle. It stands next to the Viaduct Entrance and overlooks the Suspension Bridge.

Behind the Scenes

Dada tower — McGonagall's office in the tower

This tower had stayed the same throughout the first five films, but in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the DADA Tower and Dark Tower were replaced by the Astronomy Tower. The contents of this tower were moved to the inside of the Astronomy Tower. This tower was going to appear at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but was replaced by the Astronomy Tower instead.
Although the books do not state where McGonagall's office is, it can be seen in the films.
