{Kitchens}

Located directly underneath the Great Hall, this room is just the same size. Preparation tables are located directly under their counterparts in the hall above, and the food is magically transported through the ceilings and on to the waiting plates above. Staffed by over one hundred house-elves, food is readily available at any given time, provided you know how to access the area. A painting of a bowl of fruit in the corridor leading to the Hufflepuff common room is where the door is located, and to get it to appear, one need only tickle the pear and the knob will pop up.
