The Entrance Hall is reached by through a pair of huge double oak doors; it is lit by torches and is quite imposing, with a ceiling so high it is barely visible and a paved flagstone floor. A wide marble staircase opposite the front doors leads to the first floor. On either side of this staircase there are two doors. One leads to the Hufflepuff common room and the kitchens, while the other leads to the dungeons.
