Training Grounds

The Training Grounds is where Flying classes are taught to first years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by Madam Hooch. The grounds were flat, short-cut grassy areas and are located near to the Herbology greenhouses.

During the 1996–1997 school year, the Hufflepuff Duelling Club held its practices in the Training Grounds.
