Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone

There were a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts:
wide, sweeping ones; narrow, rickety ones; some that led somewhere different on
a Friday; some with a vanishing step halfway up that you had to remember to
jump. Then there were doors that wouldn't open unless you asked politely, or
tickled them in exactly the right place, and doors that weren't really doors at
all, but solid walls just pretending. It was also very hard to remember where
anything was, because it all seemed to move around a lot. The people in the
portraits kept going to visit each other, and Harry was sure the coats of armor
could walk.

The ghosts didn't help, either. It was always a nasty shock
when one of them glided suddenly through a door you were trying to open.
Nearly Headless Nick was always happy to point new Gryffindors in the right
direction, but Peeves the Poltergeist was worth two locked doors and a trick
staircase if you met him when you were late for class. He would drop wastepaper
baskets on your head, pull rugs from under your feet, pelt you with bits of
chalk, or sneak up behind you, invisible, grab your nose, and screech,
"GOT YOUR CONK!"
