Answer 1

Answer:

There are a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts: wide, sweeping ones, narrow, rickety  ones, some that lead somewhere different on a Friday, some with a vanishing step halfway up that   you had to remember to jump. Then there are doors that wouldn't open unless you asked politely or tickled them in exactly the right place, and doors that aren't really doors at all, but solid walls just pretending. It is also very hard to remember where anything is because it all seemed to  move around a lot. The people in the portraits keep going to visit each other, and Harry is sure the coats of armor can walk.
