This is the reception area where all of the witches and wizards who work at the Ministry gather to head to work. The place has a dark wooden floor with fireplaces on each side and a blue ceiling that is inlaid with gleaming golden symbols that may be some kind of a notice board. In the Atrium there is the Fountain of Magical Brethren, and at the far end are the Security Desk and a great pair of golden gates that lead to the elevators.
