• Type: Office, Medical Facility
• Location: Hospital Wing, Hogwarts Castle, Scotland
• Owner/Residents: Madam Poppy Pomfrey
• Key Features: Private office and supply storeroom for the Hogwarts Matron

Madam Pomfrey's Office is the private workspace and storeroom of the Hogwarts school nurse, Madam Poppy Pomfrey. Located at the far end of the main Hospital Wing, the office is described as a small, paneled room. It serves as the command center for all medical care within the castle, housing the Matron's extensive collection of magical remedies, healing potions, and medical supplies. This is where Madam Pomfrey stores and likely prepares treatments for a wide range of magical maladies and injuries, from common ailments requiring Pepperup Potion to severe cases necessitating substances like Skele-Gro for regrowing bones. The office also functions as Madam Pomfrey's private space within the wing, allowing her to remain close to her patients and respond to emergencies at any hour. Her authority over the Hospital Wing emanates from this room, which she often emerges from to enforce her strict rules regarding visitors and patient care.

While few events take place inside the office itself, its presence is crucial to the function and atmosphere of the Hospital Wing. It represents the private, professional domain of the Healer in contrast to the public ward where patients recover. The office is the source of all the care administered in the wing and symbolizes Madam Pomfrey's unmatched authority in her field. Throughout the series, characters are treated in the Hospital Wing for injuries sustained in major events, and all the necessary remedies are sourced from this office. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Madam Pomfrey is explicitly mentioned as coming “bustling out of her office” to demand that Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge and Professor Snape keep their voices down, reinforcing that the entire wing is her domain. Her fierce protection of her patients, such as when she limits the sweets Harry Potter receives after his confrontation with Professor Quirrell, is an extension of the order and control she maintains from her office. It is, in effect, the heart of all healing operations at Hogwarts.

The office is a single room and is not described as having distinct, named areas within it in the novels.

In the film adaptations of the series, the office is visually represented as a small room or a curtained-off alcove adjacent to the main ward. These sets are typically dressed with shelves of potion bottles, medical instruments, and books, firmly establishing it as Madam Pomfrey's dedicated workspace. (film)
