[&]	Astronomy Tower where they had Astronomy class every Wednesday night at midnight during Harry's first year Handy for meeting with broomstick riders in the dead of night - except when it requires hauling a heavy crate up the three flights of stairs from the Entrance Hall to the corridor beneath the tower (PS14). The top of this tower where observation sessions are held for Astronomy is more or less directly above the front entrance of the castle; the top of the tower has a parapet (OP31) A steep spiral staircase leads to the top of the tower (PS14, OP31), with a door (which has an iron ring as a handle) leading out onto the ramparts, which are crenellated (HBP27). To get from the foot of the Astronomy Tower's staircase to the staircase leading to the entrance hall, one must pass through two corridors before rounding the corner to see the staircase leading (eventually) to the Entrance Hall (HBP28).	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
[&]	Owlery the Owlery The Owlery, where the school owls and the owls belonging to students live, is located on the top of West Tower (GF15). The Owlery was a circular stone room, rather cold and drafty, because none of the windows had glass in them. The floor was entirely covered in straw, owl droppings, and the regurgitated skeletons of mice and voles. Hundreds upon hundreds of owls of every breed imaginable were nestled here on perches that rose right up to the top of the tower, nearly all of them asleep, though here and there a round amber eye glared at Harry. He spotted Hedwig nestled between a barn owl and a tawny, and hurried over to her, sliding a little on the dropping-strewn floor (GF15). When necessary, such as when they have had to fly through very bad stormy weather, Hagrid nurses post owls back to health before they return to the owlery (PS12). After Hedwig was injured, Harry took her to Professor Grubbly-Plank, who healed her in about a day (OP17, OP18)	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
