The bathroom's wooden cubicles are worn and ill-maintained, and even the stone sinks are chipped. Like many of Hogwarts' rooms - including the opulent prefects' bathroom - the room is candle-lit, but the candles are in holders rather than a chandelier and there are not enough of them to light the room properly. The sinks, which form a row under a large cracked and spotted mirror, have copper taps. Moaning Myrtle resides in here ever since she was killed in this very bathroom. Many tend to avoid using this bathroom since Myrtle whines so much it gets annoying, but don't tell her that.
