Gryffindor is one of the four houses at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter and his best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, are all members of Gryffindor, the house known for bravery, daring, nerve and chivalry. The Gryffindor common room can be found in one of Hogwarts castle’s towers – and its entrance is guarded by a painting of the Fat Lady. She will only allow entry upon being given the correct password, which changes frequently.

Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts, Rubeus Hagrid lives with his dog Fang in a hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid’s enormous presence and booming voice belie his soft heart, and he becomes a loyal friend to Harry, Ron and Hermione – who often drop into Hagrid’s hut for a visit. As Hagrid is half-giant, all of the furniture and many of the other items in his home are over-sized. The Exhibition gives visitors a chance to look inside Hagrid’s hut and sit in his giant chair.
