The Enchanted Ceiling is the high ceiling that covers the huge Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Enchanted Ceiling is bewitched to look like the sky outside, and to mirror the weather, without any of the negative effects (Rain, Snow, and such). It is said that the mimicry of the sky outside is so exacting that, at first glance, one would believe that there is no ceiling at all, and that the hall simply opens upon the heavens.
In her first year, Hermione mentions to her fellow classmate Susan Bones that the ceiling is, in fact, bewitched and that she read about it in Hogwarts, A History.[1]
There is also an Enchanted Ceiling in Classroom Eleven, but unlike the Great Hall, it is only enchanted to show the night sky, rather than the current weather.
