The Harry Potter Compendium

The North Wing is located on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle, with scores of bookshelves lined along the walls and various tables and furniture placed around the room. It serves the Castle as a reading room and study hall. There are two entrances; one in the seventh floor corridor and the other in the Fat Lady's Corridor. In 1993, Security trolls were placed there to guard Gryffindor Tower from Sirius Black who had broken into the common room once already. However, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger snuck passed them using Dungbombs to distract them. The Wing also appears to be a popular hang-out spot, as students of all Houses go there during morning hours.[1]

There is also a large statue of the Bloody Baron in the hall.
