Have you all seen this post by Shyfoxling?

I'm Dreamwidth friends with her so I noticed she was exploring Pottermore.

What she found was this.

I left a comment at the bottom of the page with my initial thoughts, but now I'm torn between that and WHYYY DID ROWLING THINK THIS NEEDED TO BE EXPANDED UPON?!

Still more credence for the theory that Rowling has the mental maturity of a twelve-year-old?

I contend that just about *all* the staff know about the Room of Hidden Things. What they don't realize is that the room has other guises. The House Elves know about the Room that Provides (aka the Come and Go Room), but they probably never were asked so never volunteered the information.

Still doesn't explain Albus pacing back and forth the same stretch of corridor while aiming for the bathroom, though.
