Students are not permitted to enter the staff room. A long, panelled room with mismatched, dark wooden chairs. There is wardrobe inside it which was once home to a Boggart before the then Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Remus Lupin, taught his third-year class how to vanquish it.
The entrance to this room is guarded by two stone gargoyles that can talk. These gargoyles were partially destroyed during the Battle of Hogwarts but have since been repaired.
