"It is a most amazing room, Sir." (387)
"I need an entry to win this contest..."
"...as they wheeled around after their third walk past...A highly polished door had appeared on the wall...Harry reached out, seized the brass handle, pulled open the door, and led the way into a spacious room...'Harry, this is wonderful, there's everything we need here!'" (389-390)
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the members of Dumbledore's Army (D.A.) met in secrecy - and in defiance of Educational Decree Number Twenty-four - to practice the very necessary defensive magic that Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Dolores Umbridge refused to teach them. The Room of Requirement - as suggested by Dobby the house elf - proved to be the perfect location to meet in the dead of winter to learn everything from "Expelliarmus" to Stunning to producing Patronuses.
The iconic winter scenes depicted in these photos represent the camaraderie and conviction of the members of the D.A. in the room that provided exactly what they needed.
