Ravenclaw Common Room
Taught by Prof. Hadyn Nathaniel Markos (Jacob Hott) Deputy Head Master
The room where the courses of Choir, Frog Choir, and Muggle and Wizard Music are taken.
Cedric's directions to Harry on how to reach the prefects' bathroom were extremely clear: "fourth door to the left of the statue of Boris the Bewildered on the fifth floor" (GF23). The door requires a password, and can be bolted from the inside. No mention is made of any portrait or statue guarding the room's entrance; apparently the door itself recognizes the password. There is one piece of artwork in the bathroom itself, however, a rather flirtatious picture of a mermaid on one wall (see). Myrtle, who occasionally enjoys spying on the prefects as they bathe, doesn't seem to like her much.Inside, the bathroom's walls, floor, and single sunken bathtub are all made of white marble, lit softly by a candle-filled chandelier that impressed Harry on his first visit. The rectangular tub is the size and depth of a swimming pool, and even has a diving board, but unlike an ordinary pool the tub is lined with about a hundred taps, each with a differently coloured jewel set into the handle. Each tap automatically releases not only water, but bubble bath (a different kind of bubble bath for each colour-coded handle). A pile of fluffy white towels are kept in one corner (GF25).

Taught by Prof. Isabella Anneliese Watson (Wise)
Hogwarts has a trophy room where all the old awards, trophies, statues, cups, plates, shields, and medals are kept in crystal display cases. There is also a list of all the head boys and girls. It's adjacent to a long gallery full of suits of armor (PS9, CS7, CS13). Peeves likes to bounce around the trophy room (PA10, GF25).

The windows of the office face south toward the lake (GF, Moody looked out and saw Durmstrang ship) and also west toward the Quidditch pitch (OP13)
The office changes hands every year, so the decor is different every time.
Quirrell - unknown 1991-1992
Lockhart - vanity pictures of himself 1992-1993
Lupin - grindylow tank and other creatures for use in class, tea things 1993-1994
Moody - Foe-Glass, Dark Detectors, seven-lock chest 1994-5
Umbridge - plates on the wall with foul kittens in bright colors, frilly doilies and the like, flowered tablecloth 1995-6
"Saturday afternoon seemed to melt away, and in what seemed like no time, it was five minutes to eight, and Harry was dragging his feet along the second-floor corridor to Lockhart's office. He gritted his teeth and knocked." (CS6)
A bathroom haunted by the ghost of a girl who died at the awakening of the Basalisk. This bathroom holds the entrance to the once known Chamber of Secrets and what is currently the Dark Arts Class room.
Taught by Prof.Marco Mur (Madeline) Head of GryffindorThe History of Magic classroom has a blackboard through which Binns enters and exits the room. It also has a window through which Hedwig could enter; the window has thick glass and a narrow ledge (OP17). Just up the corridor from Binns' classroom, in the direction of the marble staircase, is a window with a view of Hagrid's cabin (OP17).
How do we know that the History of Magic classroom is on the first floor?
Harry, Ron, and Hermione leave the History of Magic classroom, talk to Colin Creevey, then go up a flight of stairs to find themselves on the second floor, where Moaning Myrtle's bathroom is:
As they were shunted along in the throng, Colin Creevey went past.
But Colin was so small he couldn't fight against the tide of people bearing him toward the Great Hall; they heard him squeak, "See you, Harry!" and he was gone.
The crowd thinned and they were able to climb the next staircase without difficulty...
...they turned a corner and found themselves at the end of the very corridor where the attack had happened. (CS9).
Taught by Prof. Professor Exodus Aeolus Malfoy (Jacob Hott) Head of SlytherinHarry and the other Gryffindors have a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher every year, but the classroom remains the same. In the films, a huge dragon skeleton hangs over the classroom until it is dropped and smashed by the pixies which Lockhart brought into the first Second-Year class of the 1992-1993. This is only a film invention, however; there is no mention of a dragon skeleton in the books, and if there was is probably wouldn't be in the DADA classroom. Dragons aren't Dark Creatures.
The room has windows looking out onto the grounds (out of which the pixies threw Lockhart's wand). An iron chandelier hangs from the ceiling (CS6), although it broke loose and fell during the pixie incident.
The DADA teacher's office and quarters are located on the second floor, which is represented nicely in the films with the use of a staircase coming into the classroom (see picture).
How do we know that the DADA classroom is on the first floor?
"(Lockhart) set off back to the castle with Harry, who was wishing he knew a good Vanishing Spell, still clasped to his side. 'A word to the wise, Harry,' said Lockhart paternally as they entered the building through a side door [from the courtyard, so they're on the ground floor]...Deaf to Harry's stammers, Lockhart swept him down a corridor [the ground floor corridor that runs opposite the Great Hall, probably] lined with staring students and up a staircase [so now they're on the first floor]...They had reached Lockhart's classroom and he let Harry go at last." (CS)
Taught by Prof. Nero Quintus Cyprian Greengrass (Jacob Hott)We never actually visit a Muggle Studies class in the books, but we can determine almost for certain that the classroom is on the first floor because, in order to get to her Muggle Studies exam, Hermione stopped at the first floor while Ron and Harry went on (PA16).
