Room of Requirement
The first hint of this magical room came during the Yule Ball, when Dumbledore related how early that morning he had found a beautiful room full of a ?magnificent collection of chamber pots? when his bladder was full; but later when he went back to investigate, the room had vanished (GF23).
From Dobby, Harry learned about this room, which the house-elves called ?the Come and Go Room or the Room of Requirement.? This magical room was on the seventh floor opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to dance the ballet. To make the room appear, a person had to walk past the blank wall three times and concentrate hard on what is needed. A door then magically appeared, and the room would fit that person?s needs (OP1 cool .
Besides Dumbledore, Fred and George had once found the room when they needed to escape from Filch (it became a broom closet), and Filch had once found extra cleaning supplies in it. When Dobby brought a drunk Winky there, the room held antidotes to butterbeer and a nice elf-sized bed (OP1 cool .
Harry found the room ideal for teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, as it had books, cushions, Dark Detectors, and even a whistle (OP1 cool . Also, after a DA meeting, Harry snogged Cho Chang in this room (OP21).
In Harry?s sixth year, he used the Marauder?s Map to see where Draco Malfoy was going. Harry eventually came to realize that the Room of Requirement and anyone inside the room didn?t appear on the map because the room was Unplottable. Harry wanted to take the Felix Felicis Potion to get into the room, but Hermione probably correctly said that luck wasn?t enough to get through the powerful enchantments on the room. Harry hid the Half-Blood Prince?s book in the room. The Death Eaters entered Hogwarts through this room after Malfoy fixed the Vanishing Cabinet (HBP24, 25, 26, 29).

Skidding to a halt, Ginger pulled open the door, panting for breath.
This door wasn't here before, was it? Seemed like it had appeared there just like that. Like magic. Which of course wasn't all that strange, at Hogwarts.
A broom cupboard. She was lucky, seeing as she was just trying to avoid Chelsea for the first day back at Hogwarts. Later, she'd face her. Later.
Poking her head outside to check whether the coast was clear, she heaved a sigh. Lucky again. She grinned, stepped out and pulled the door closed behind her.
