Artwork Reveals What the Hogwarts House Common Rooms Look Like

Writing on Pottermore, JK Rowling said: "When I first planned the series, I expected Harry to visit all four house common rooms during his time at Hogwarts. There came a point when I realised that there was never going to be a valid reason to enter the Hufflepuff room.
