Wooden Bridge

The Wooden Bridge^[1] (also known as the Covered Bridge) is a feature of Hogwarts Castle. The bridge appears derelict, and is constructed of wood beams which extend to the floor of the ravine it lays across. The roof of the Covered Bridge is sagging and appears tarred. The bridge blends in with the natural environment surrounding it.

The Covered Bridge begins at one end of the Clock Tower Courtyard, at the base of the Clock Tower. At the end of the covered bridge there is a small stone gazebo with benches. Outside of it is the Stone Circle.

Most of the bridge was destroyed during the Battle of Hogwarts by Neville, Seamus and Ginny under the orders of Minerva McGonagall. The bridge was destroyed using charges.

Behind the scenes[]

This bridge, along with the Clock Tower, Clock Tower Courtyard and Stone Circle, first appears in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Despite not making an appearance in the first two film adaptations, they are shown in the Pensieve scene in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 the bridge is a lot shorter, and part of it has collapsed. In order to pass you have to make a small path of LEGO bricks.
In Harry Potter for Kinect, Neville battles some generic Death Eaters on the Covered Bridge rather than Scabior and his Snatchers.
