The Great Hall is the most massive room in the entire castle. There are four long wooden tables, which are perpendicular to the entrance and parallel to each other. The faculty table is at the end of the hall where all the professors sit talking and eating. Above the students tables are the banners that bear the seal of each table's house and above the faculty table is the seal of Hogwarts.

Above the tables is a magical ceiling. The ceiling changes depending on the seasons, and the mood of Professor Dumbledore. With a simple wave of his hand, Professor Dumbledore puts the food on the table for all students, teachers, and workers to eat. These feasts are always big and gets the recipients rather full.

At the end of the year, the banners change to the winning school house that has gained the most points. It can be either Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Raven Claw, and Slytherin.
