The Phoenix Memorial Courtyard is a new addition to the Hogwarts castle built after the end of the Second Wizarding War of Hogwarts. A large Phoenix statue stands in the middle of the courtyard, the name of everyone who died during the Battle of Hogwarts is engraved upon the Phoenix's wings. Benches and tables are scattered throughout the courtyard for students to relax. The Phoenix Memorial Courtyard is also a popular place for students to practice dueling, believing that the memory of those lost would help them in their efforts.
