Lifts are the main way of moving between the levels in the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic. They are a fast mode of transportation to move people or goods between floors or levels of the building. They are located at the far end of the Atrium hall, on Level 8 of the Ministry, behind a pair of golden gates. Behind these gates is a smaller hall with at least twenty lifts standing behind wrought golden grilles. When the lift reaches a floor, a voice announces the department residing on that level and its subdivisions.

| - Lifts are the main way of moving between the levels in the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic. They are a fast mode of transportation to move people or goods between floors or levels of the building. They are located at the far end of the Atrium hall, on Level 8 of the Ministry, behind a pair of golden gates. Behind these gates is a smaller hall with at least twenty lifts standing behind wrought golden grilles. When the lift reaches a floor, a voice announces the department residing on that level and its subdivisions. Prior to Lord Voldemort's take-over of the Ministry, there was an attendant within each lift from Magical Maintenance, to ensure everything went smoothly. In addition to people, interdepartmental memos enter the lift to relay messages between people from different letters. They are in the form of pale violet-coloured paper aeroplanes; the Ministry previously used owls but the mess became too much to bear. Despite the lifts descending deeper into the ground, Magical Maintenance enchants the windows to decide what weather they have each day. There are also gold ropes hanging from the ceiling for passengers to hang onto when the lifts go sideways, backwards, or stop violently.
