Changes: Griffin Stairwell

'Engorgio!'

It is requested that this article, or a section of this article, should be expanded. Please help the Harry Potter Wiki by expanding this article to give more complete coverage of its subject.

This staircase is guarded by a large, ugly stone gargoyle. When one gives the gargoyle the correct password, it moves aside to reveal "a spiral staircase that was moving smoothly upward, like an escalator" that leads to the Headmaster's office.

Behind the scenes

The entrance to this staircase has changed locations quite often:
- In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it was located off the Second Floor Corridor.
- In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film), it was located in one of the halls around the Middle Courtyard.
  - The griffin appears to move upwards along with the stairs.
- In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game) it appears on the Third Floor Corridor, next to Classroom 3C in the PC version.
- In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film), it was located atop the Grand Staircase Tower. (assumed because the griffin and the stairwells location isn't seen)
- In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, it was located off the Seventh Floor Corridor.
- In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (video game), it was located in one of the halls around the Viaduct Courtyard.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, it is located directly on the Grand Staircase on the Sixth Floor.
Despite the change of location, the Headmaster's Tower always seems to be located on the top of the Grand Staircase Tower. This may be some yet not understood magic.
