Hufflepuff Common Room

The entrance to the common room is located "in a nook on the right hand side of the kitchen corridor", concealed behind a stack of barrels. In order to reveal the entrance, no password is required. Instead, one must tap the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, in the rhythm of ‘Helga Hufflepuff.’ The actual basement itself is round, earthy and low-ceilinged, with a sunny atmosphere; very warm and welcoming. There are lots of yellow hangings, burnished copper, and overstuffed sofas and armchairs upholstered in yellow and black. , and circular windows that provide a vista of "rippling grass and dandelions"
