Boathouse

Boathouse
The boathouse is an underground harbour where the boats are stored. These are the same boats that are docked when the first years arrive to Hogwarts on the 1 September every year. Up until the year 1995 was a portrait of Percival Pratt hung on one of the inside walls of this boathouse. The portrait concealed a secret entrance to the Grand Staircase. Some small wooden boats are stored in the rafters of the ceiling.

After Pratt's portrait was taken away, there were only three entrances to the boathouse. The path outside (the quad), the stairs that led from the entrance courtyard and the Lake.

Fireworks are occasionally set from the boathouse exterior to signal the start of the said party.
