- — The stairs.
These enchanted stairs are staircases (or spiral staircases) in Hogwarts that remove a step halfway up, so you had to remember to jump. They were most likely developed by Rowena Ravenclaw, as she knows most about magic.
Neville Longbottom regularly forgot to jump the step in one of these staircases. In 1995, Harry Potter made the same mistake after becoming distracted after observing Bartemius Crouch Jr. (whom he believed to be Bartemius Crouch Sr.) on the Marauder's Map. He became trapped in the staircase and lost hold of his Golden egg clue, which attracted the attention of Argus Filch. The commotion also drew the attention of Severus Snape, who came to investigate, but was supposedly headed off by Alastor Moody, who was the only one could see Harry in his invisibility cloak via his magical eye. Though Harry did not know it at the time, the man who rescued him was actually the man he had earlier observed on the map.[1]
