Description
so much laziness.I've always wondered what the Slytherin dorms look like, but I think I'm the only one.
The pool of water/ceiling light is based on the idea of an aristocratic Roman impluvium/compluvium. Gryffindor has a furnace in the center of the dorm rooms, so it seemed like an nice yin-yang effect as Gryffindor=fire and Slytherin=water. I'm not sure if the compluvium would magically let rainwater (and snow, and hail!?) in from the lake above, or not. I think it should.
Feel free to use this image for your own art as well! I'd love to see what you guys make with it.

I had always hoped to be in Ravenclaw, and that I wouldn't be sorted into Slytherin by the way the books and movies portrayed the kids, but now I know Pottermore got it right and that I really would belong there instead... This is so beautiful, thank you!

Thank YOU! It's such a reward hearing how "at home" Slytherins feel with this design.

Would you mind if I use it in a Wattpad Story? With supernatural beings? The dorm would be lovely since it is very fitting. I would link it to this of course and I'll credit you!

We'll see--there's already so many good interpretations!!

Well, I've found some GREAT interpretations of the common room as it was described in DH, but the DORMS are another story. I'm actually working on a Fan Fiction that's (long story short) about me, in Hogwarts, during Order of the Phoenix. I've literally been working on this story for over two years and I haven't even posted the first chapter (all I've been doing is intense background research)!!! To take my story to the next level, I started a Pinterest board full of visual examples of what I'm describing in the the plot (since this is going to be from my point of view) that my readers can go onto and see and get this whole other experience!! Right now it's a Secret Board, so no one other than myself can see it, but once I finally post my first chapter (I'm ALMOST THERE!!), I'll set it to where the whole world can see all the work I've put into this!! Anyway, that's where you come in. I'd really appreciate it if you'd do your version of the Ravenclaw Dorms for my Pinterest Board. I am a Ravenclaw on Pottermore, so I can give you the description of them, word for word (Though I will tell you, it's pretty vague, ESPECIALLY compared to what they said about Slytherin's dormitories, so you'll have plenty of creative leeway). I totally understand if this is too tall of an order, but when I saw your work I was absolutely floored! It really looked like something from Pottermore and I would be thrilled if you would do it!! I'd really appreciate it!!

This is EXACTLY how J.K. Rowling described it in Pottermore!!!! (Even though I'm a Ravenclaw, someone posted the 'welcome' letter on here, and I couldn't resist reading it!) When I saw it, I was like "THIS is what the Slytherin dorms look like, without a doubt"!!! EXCELLENT Job!!!

I love this
- though I do have one question: what is the thing on the floor? >_>

lol, in the description, but it's essentially just a pool of water, made from falling rain, coming through an opening in the roof. Aristocratic houses in Europe used to have them waaayyy back in the day, and I've always loved the idea.
