"It was not the same room in which [Harry] had once been interrogated for improper use of magic. This one was much smaller, though the ceiling was quite as high it gave the claustrophobic sense of being stuck at the bottom of a deep well."
— Description.[src]

This courtroom is one of the Ministry of Magic courtrooms on Level Ten. It was smaller than Courtroom Ten, but it had a very high ceiling, that gave the impression of being stuck at the bottom of a well. There was a high, raised platform in which Interrogators sat behind a balaustrade. In 1997, the Muggle-Born Registration Commission used this courtroom during the hearings of Muggle-born wizards.[1]

In the films

The set for the Muggle-Born Registration Commission courtroom is the same set that served as Courtroom Ten in the fourth and fifth films, albeit with a major overhaul. The set was reverted back to its original, smaller size (after being expanded for the fifth film) and was covered in black tile, replacing the flaky plaster seen in the previous films and matching the rest of the Ministry sets. The fire bowls behind the stands have been removed, giving the set a much colder, darker feel. There are now four doors on each side of the room, as opposed to the one in the corner.
