about

The Shrieking Shack scares the creeps out of little children who hear about it. It is the most haunted location in Britain, and adolescents enjoy teasing each other about the violent spirits who allegedly reside there. But, the Shrieking Shack no longer shrieks or shakes with horrifying noises. In fact, it has remained silent for years. Under the Whomping Willow, there is a secret passage that leads to the inside of the Shrieking Shack. The interior of this foreboding little shack is perhaps like any other house inhabited by a werewolf. The curtains are torn, it's awfully dust, and the bed is a mother's worst nightmare. Back in the day, a werewolf (young Remus Lupin) used to come in there and destruct the place after he transformed from a person to a werewolf. After that, three other rowdy boys would come in after him and they would have the time of their life. They were known as the Marauders: Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs.
In Prisoner of Azkaban the Shrieking Shack becomes part of the dramatic conclusion of the book when Sirius Black returns to the school. He drags Ron Weasley and his pet rat, Scabbers, there in order to kill Scabbers. It is revealed that Scabbers is actually the Animagus Peter Pettigrew, Black's former friend who had betrayed James and Lily Potter to Voldemort, a crime for which Black had been blamed. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Severus Snape is killed in the Shrieking Shack by Voldemort's snake, Nagini.
