The Suspension Bridge entrance is a part of Hogwarts Castle. It is a little building located near Gryffindor Tower on one side of The Quad. The Suspension Bridge towers are located on either side and overlook the Suspension Bridge. It is a large entrance room, but it is not the main entrance hall. The large archway leads to the Suspension Bridge, while the Suspension Bridge staircase leads to the Third floor corridor. In the 1995–1996 school year, a portrait of Nearly Headless Nick was located here. The following school year, it was replaced by a locked area with a Hogwarts crest inside.
