Stained glass windows are windows assembled with glass panels that have been coloured, either by painting or by fusing pigments into its structure.
Hogwarts Castle was built in c. 993, corresponding to the Romanesque and Early Gothic period, when stained glass, as an art form, reached its height. As such, there are various examples of stained glass windows in the main halls of Hogwarts.
Examples
A tall, elaborate stained-glass window at the Lumos Challenge.
A stained glass window depicting a sad man, at the Defence Against the Dark Arts staircase.
A window rose at the Entrance Hall, depicting the Hogwarts Crest.
A window rose at the Lumos Challenge.
A window with red and gold stained glass borders at Gryffindor Tower.
Three red-and-gold stained glass windows overlooking the Entrance Hall.
A colourful stained glass window in the Great Hall.
A stained glass window depicting the four Hogwarts mascots at the Entrance Hall.
A detailed stained glass window depicting the Hogwarts Crest in the Upper Castle.
Two stained glass windows on a corridor.
A stained glass window panel on the First Floor Corridor, near the girls' lavatory.
More stained glass window panels on the First Floor Corridor, near the girls' lavatory.
A stained glass window behind the altar of the Parish Church of St. Clementine, at Godric's Hollow, depicting Christ flanked by the four Evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).
Behind the scenes
The mermaid stained glass window.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the Portrait of a mermaid at the Prefects' bathroom, is depicted instead as a large stained glass window overlooking the room.
- The stained glass windows depicted in the films show, multi-coloured flashed, opalised and streaky glasses that are not contemporaneous to the establishment of Hogwarts. In fact, detailed polychrome glass painting was only developed in the 19th century.
