The tallest of Hogwarts towers.
Handy for meeting with broomstick riders in the dead of night—except when it requires hauling a heavy crate up the three flights of stairs from the Entrance Hall to the corridor beneath the tower.
The top of this tower is where observation sessions are held for Astronomy is more or less directly above the front entrance of the castle; the top of the tower has a parapet.
A steep spiral staircase leads to the top of the tower, with a door (which has an iron ring as a handle) leading out onto the ramparts, which are crenellated.
The Astronomy Tower is the tallest tower at Hogwarts Castle surrounded by a parapet and turret. It is where students study the stars and planets through their telescopes in Astronomy lessons with Professor Aurora Sinistra. This is usually done at midnight where the stars are best seen. The tower is usually out-of-bounds except for classes.
