The Hospital wing at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is ran by Madam Poppy Pomfrey, the school's matron. Students (and presumably the staff) who suffer mishaps and injuries during the school year are sent or brought to the hospital wing for treatment. The hospital wing is well equipped to deal with all kinds of magical and mundane injuries, from broken limbs to regrowing lost bones. Only in the most severe cases are the patients sent to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for further treatment, such as when Katie Bell touched a cursed Opal necklace in 1996.

Behind The Scenes
- In the film and Video Game (Exceptions: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, both for the Game Boy Color) adaptions of the Harry Potter series, the Hospital Wing does not have a Nurse Office as it does in the books.
- When Minerva McGonagall taught the students to dance in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the room used was the one used to portray the hospital wing in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
- In the Game Boy version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Katie Bell is in the hospital due to having the mumblemumps .
- In the Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince games the Hospital wing is found on the fourth floor, not the fifth.
