A audição de Harry foi mantida em um nível mais abaixo do Departamento de Mistérios. O elevador deixa Harry e o Sr. Weasley no Departamento de Mistérios, sim, mas eles então descem um lance de escadas até a sala do tribunal. Então, tecnicamente, a audiência não foi realizada no Departamento de Mistérios.
‘Quick, Harry,’ said Mr Weasley as the lift doors rattled open, and they sped up a corridor that was quite different from those above. The walls were bare; there were no windows and no doors apart from a plain black one set at the very end of the corridor. Harry expected them to go through it, but instead Mr Weasley seized him by the arm and dragged him to the left, where there was an opening leading to a flight of steps.
‘Down here, down here,’ panted Mr Weasley, taking two steps at a time. ‘The lift doesn’t even come down this far ... why they’re doing it down there I ...’
