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.
The tower has a "semi-circular" shape and is where DADA lessons are held and where the DADA professor's office is. Minerva McGonagall's office is located on the first floor of this tower. The Defence Against the Dark Arts staircase runs through the centre of this tower.
Behind the Scenes
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.
