Deep Sea Bathroom 

& Underwater Hallway

Underwater  Tutorials:

Guests enter into an eerie underwater passageway where thick strands of seaweed hide anchor chains and unexploded mines. Tread carefully through to a bathroom at the bottom of the ocean. By the light of pulsing jelly fish you see an eight-tentacled monster lurking near the scene of a tragic diving accident. The sounds of the deep ocean and gentle shimmering blue light may lull you to sleep if you're not careful.

As you wash your hands in this Room of Requirement, glance at portraits of famous witches and wizards, or be reminded of which of Umbridge's rules you're breaking. Say hello to Hedwig or browse Weasley Wizard Wheeze's latest products. But beware. Dangerous things are happening at Hogwarts...
