The Dark Tower is a small but high tower near the Transfiguration Courtyard at Hogwarts Castle. This tower seems to be used as a prison. It has several prison cells, with the topmost being at the roof. The cells are not, however, charmed or otherwise protected against breaking-in from the outside. It has seven floors.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, this tower is where Sirius Black is held prisoner, as opposed to Filius Flitwick's office in the West Tower.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the Dark Tower, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts tower, are replaced by the Astronomy Tower.
- In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Dark Tower is referred to as the West Tower.
- In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4, the Dark Tower is a level in which you have to beat the chief Dementor in order to save Sirius Black.
