I was just wondering which tower the one referenced to here is relating to (right). [[File:Myrtletower.jpg|thumb|200px|]] However, isn't it clear from the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game)|fifth video game]] that this bathroom isn't located in a tower, but rather on the First Floor Coridor to the right to the [[Viaduct Entrance]]?

Look at the reference image (left). When you pass the [[Stone Bridge]] you get into the little turret (which are being made bigger for Deathly Hallows) on the left of the Viaduct Entrance. If you go straight and at the end of the corridor you turn left, you will find Myrtle's bathroom. --[[User:El Profeta Vespertino|El Profeta Vespertino]] 19:48, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Would anyone oppose moving this to '''Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom''' (or perhaps just '''Myrtle's Bathroom''')? It's officially referred to as one or the other in quite a few of the video games, and we've used odder official names before. Unless it's been called "second-floor girls' lavatory" somewhere and its not just a descriptive name, that is. -- [[User:1337star|1337star]] <sup>([[User_talk:1337star|Drop me a line!]])</sup> 16:32, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

What became of the article which, until a few minutes ago as I type, bore this name? It was an article about the lavatory in which Hermione got trapped with the troll, and may have been misnamed as my copy of the first book is vague as to that room's location (indicating only that it's above the ground floor).

What went on here? We went from using an official [[canon]] name to using a conjectural nickname after about sixteen renames. I think it should go back to "Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom" as that is the official, canonical name for the place, fresh from ''[[Pottermore]]'' itself. --[[User:Hunnie Bunn|Hunnie Bunn]] ([[User talk:Hunnie Bunn|talk]]) 12:08, May 3, 2014 (UTC)

The Tower?

I was just wondering which tower the one referenced to here is relating to (right).

Myrtletower

However, isn't it clear from the fifth video game that this bathroom isn't located in a tower, but rather on the First Floor Coridor to the right to the Viaduct Entrance?

Thanks, Joeworthy 19:23, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Myrtles reference

Reference image

Look at the reference image (left). When you pass the Stone Bridge you get into the little turret (which are being made bigger for Deathly Hallows) on the left of the Viaduct Entrance. If you go straight and at the end of the corridor you turn left, you will find Myrtle's bathroom. --El Profeta Vespertino 19:48, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

It is from the Chamber of Secrets film. After Riddle's diary's memory scene, the Trio is seen in the Transfiguration Courtyard discussing it. This scene starts with an aerial view of the Castle, from the Great Hall to the courtyard, and is the only scene in which we can see the Paved Courtyard (see image)
