Across the corridor from the History of Magic classroom is located a room full of historic and current memorabilia. After all, the present is simply history in the making. Many of the objects found in this room are there for students to view, touch, or even interact with. Anything not permitted to be handled without permission will be found under glass.

A small couch and several comfortable chairs are found in a circular arrangement near the window overlooking the grounds. A short, yet very full, bookshelf is situated next to the seating arrangement to provide a reading and study area.

Magical portraits are hung on the walls throughout the room. Some are notable people throughout history, some are more recent, including a few that Professor Finch has painted himself. Try engaging one in conversation. One never knows what historical secrets the subject of a portrait might have, especially if they were witness to certain events.

Several Egyptian amulets are found in a display case, as well as a few old maps, a self-stirring cauldron, and an ornate box that mysteriously doesn't seem to open. On a table at the other end of the room, one might find a full set of chocolate frog cards, a wizard's chess set, and a pair of extendable ears. Take a look around and see what other treasures you can find to learn about History of Magic up close.
