During the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I noticed when Harry was looking for Peter Pettigrew by following his name on the Marauder's Map in the hallways of Hogwart's Castle at night, he passes a circle-shaped room called, Room of Doom!



Room of Doom



The HP Wikia doesn't really say much about this room other than acknowledging its existence. But with such an ominous name, I was wondering if there is any other information out there about this room? What is its purpose and/or what has it been used for?

‘The Room of Doom’ may just be the Marauders’ own name for it.



There’s no mention of any place in Hogwarts called ‘the Room of Doom’ anywhere but displayed on the Marauder’s Map in the movie “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and on the official replica of the Map that’s sold as merchandise. What seems to be the most likely explanation for this, when considering the other labels used on the Map is that it’s the Marauders’ own term, and the Room itself is not actually called the Room of Doom. Near to the Room of Doom is a room shown as ‘the Vestibule of Mischief’, which also seems an unlikely name for a room in Hogwarts.



enter image description here



Both ‘the Room of Doom’ and ‘the Vestibule of Mischief’ seem to be names that the Marauders themselves would invent rather than the actual names of those rooms.

  • Interesting! Thanks! (I do wonder though since Newt's name appears on the map too during the course of the film, if somehow these rooms, names withstanding, will be tied into Fantastic Beasts somehow??? I know there is the whole Newt writing the whole 'special edition' thing that DD claims is the reason for him being there, but I can't help to think there could be more to this, since it appears the deathly hallows (and other things pertaining to Riddle) are important to Fantastic Beasts' story line too...

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
