ravenclaw tower

the common room, like the other house common rooms, is decorated in house colours (blue and bronze silk wall hangings, in this case, and a midnight-blue carpet decorated with stars). the room is wide, circular, and very airy, with a domed ceiling painted with stars, and walls with graceful arched windows that provide a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. there are bookcases, tables, and chairs, and opposite the entrance is another door leading to the dormitories. beside this door is a plinth on which stands a life-size statue in white marble of rowena ravenclaw wearing her diadem.
