Prohibited areas

Hogwarts Grounds

Students shall not leave Hogwarts grounds. Exceptions:

1. Students may leave with the Headmaster’s permission, if collected by a parent or guardian.

2. On the first and third weekends of each month, Third through Seventh Years may visit Hogsmeade Village with a permission slip from the student’s parent or guardian.

Students must not approach or enter the Forbidden Forest alone under any circumstances. In rare instances, a staff or faculty member may have reason to enter the Forest alongside a student.

Students must also avoid entering the Black Lake unless under supervision.

House Areas

Students may only access their own house common room and dormitory. Measures are in place to protect each common room and restrict access to it. Gryffindor Tower and Slytherin Dungeon both require passwords. Ravenclaw Tower requires the answer to a riddle, and Hufflepuff Basement is entered by tapping the rhythm to ‘Helga Hufflepuff’ on a particular barrel.

Faculty Areas

Students are forbidden from faculty areas. This includes the kitchen, faculty lounge, offices, and classrooms when class is not in session.
