Great Hall

The Great Hall is a large hall with four long tables. Each house is assigned a table, where they eat at mealtimes and receive daily post. Along with meals, the halls are used for certain special events, such as the Sorting Ceremony, because it's easily large enough to hold all the staff, students, and guests. The hall has tall walls that reach up to the ceiling covered with candles and is enchanted to look like the sky above. The front of the hall holds another long table, which holds the Hogwarts staff. At the center of the table is the throne like chair where the current Headmaster or Headmistress sits, and in front of that a large podium carved with an owl. To the left side of the table is a door which leads to a chamber full of portraits.
