The entrance to Gryffinor House is hidden behind a painting of a Fat Lady wearing a pink dress. You have to tell her the correct password and then the painting swings open to allow access to a round opening in the wall. The main room has a fireplace, tables and lounge chairs. The Gryffindor fireplace is connected to the Floo Network but Gryffindor students prefer to use messenger owls to communicate with their families. An interesting feature of Gryffindor House is its staircases leading to the girls and boys dormitories. To keep the boys from entering the girls dormitory, the staircase is under a spell. If a boy tries to climb the girls staircase a siren will go off and the staircase will temporarily turn itself into a slide made of stone causing the boy and anyone else on the staircase to slide to the bottom.

Gryffindor House encourages the traits of courage, chivalry, daring and nerve and its members are regarded as brave. Dumbledore’s army and the Order of the Phoenix have many members that originated from the Gryffindor House.
