Changes: Gryffindor Boys' Dormitory

Revision as of 05:58, 29 September 2012

The Gryffindor Boys' Dormitory is located inside the Gryffindor Tower, and is where the male Gryffindor students go to sleep at night. Every dorm room is equipped with a centrally-located stove, and each student gets their own four poster bed, flanked by a set of windows and space for storing personal belongings. On the window sill, a water jug is placed, in case any of the students should feel the need for a drink in the middle of the night.^[1]

Background

In Albus Dumbledore's fourth year at Hogwarts, he set fire to the curtains in the Gryffindor Boys' Dormitory. Whether this was accidental or intentional is uncertain. He claimed it was an accident, though he also stated that he never liked them, so this statement is questionable.^[2] Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and Neville Longbottom shared this dormitory from 1991 until 1996^[3], and it is possible the latter spent part of 1997 here^[4]. Sirius Black once entered here in 1994, looking for Peter Pettigrew^[1]. Hermione Granger also entered once to wake up Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. Even though Hermione was a girl, she was allowed to enter the boys' dormitory, unlike the girls' dormitory which does not allow boys to enter. Peeves also had access to the dormitory, as he blew in Harry Potter's ear to wake the latter up before a Quidditch practice.
