Changes: Wooden Bridge

Revision as of 15:15, 21 October 2015

The Wooden Bridge^[1] (also known as the Covered Bridge) was a feature of Hogwarts Castle. The bridge appeared derelict, and was constructed of wood beams which extend to the floor of the ravine it laid across. The roof of the Covered Bridge was sagging and appeared tarred. The bridge blended in with the natural environment surrounding it.

The Covered Bridge began at one end of the Clock Tower Courtyard, right at the base of the Clock Tower. At the end of the covered bridge there is a small stone gazebo with benches. Outside of it is the Sundial Garden.

Most of the bridge was destroyed during the Battle of Hogwarts by Neville, Seamus and Ginny under the orders of Minerva McGonagall. The bridge was destroyed using charges. It is unknown if the bridge was rebuilt or not after the battle concluded.

Behind the scenes

Covered bridge — Covered Bridge collapsing during the Battle of Hogwarts

This bridge, along with the Clock Tower, Clock Tower Courtyard and Sundial Garden, first appears in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Despite not making an appearance in the first two film adaptations, they are shown in the Pensieve scene in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 the bridge is a lot shorter, and part of it has collapsed. In order to pass you have to make a small path of LEGO bricks.
In Harry Potter for Kinect, Neville battles some generic Death Eaters on the Covered Bridge rather than Scabior and his Snatchers.
