- “Welcome to the Owl House. Where I hideaway from the pressures of modern life...also the cops, and...also ex-boyfriends.”
- ―Eda welcoming Luz into the Owl House[src]
The Owl House is the titular location of the animated series of the same name. It is an enchanted house that is homed to Eda, King, and Luz.
Background[]
Quaint and cottage-like on the outside, with a storefront façade, the inside of the Owl House is full of secret rooms, with a labyrinth for a basement. Hooty, the door knocker, serves as the house's defense system.
The Owl House is located on a cliff outside Bonesborough. It is a combination of a house and a stone tower covered in orange moss, both of which are separate from one another. The house itself is made from white bricks and has a sloping blue roof. A stained glass window above the door gives the impression of a large orange demon eye. A great number of owl figures are featured in the house's architecture.
Interior[]
While the exterior is of limited size, the Owl House appears to be much bigger on the inside, containing a number of rooms, corridors, and storage spaces.
- Luz's Room: Once a storage closet, now a comfy hideout. Luz has made this room her own with the few possessions she brought from the human realm - and lots of Eda's stuff.
- Eda's Room: Located at the front of the house where the owl eye shaped window is. Instead of a bed, Eda sleeps in a nest littered with bones and human junk.
- The Living Room: Located right behind the front door. It includes a fireplace, two couches, candles, a wall of artifacts and Eda's wanted poster, and artwork of an owl creature on the ceiling.
- The Kitchen: Found at the back of the house. A huge window gives a view of the land behind the house, with a door leading outside. The kitchen itself has a table, a refrigerator, a range, and shelves lined with various objects.
- The Balcony: Made from a short stone tower built in the side of the house, this can be accessed on the upper floor, allowing for a good view of the Boiling Isles.
- The Shed: Connected to the side of the house underneath a low part of the roof. This is primarily used for storage, including piles of logs and sealed chests and pots.
- The Basement: Apart from being where a lot of random unused stuff is stored away, the basement also consists of a trap door leading to a massive tunnel beneath the house. In "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", Hooty transformed the tunnel into a Tunnel of Love which consists of a river, animatronics, and various cardboard cutouts in an attempt to match Luz and Amity together.
Appearances[]
The Owl House[]
The house made its first appearance in the series' premiere episode, with Eda, King, and Hooty already living there and Luz moving by the end of the episode. In "Hooty's Moving Hassle", Luz, Willow, and Gus accidentally bring the house to life, taking it and Hooty for joyride before a conflicting with Demon Hunters forces them to return the house to its place. By the season finale, "Young Blood, Old Souls", Lilith moves there as well after being branded a fugitive.
In the season 2 episode "Echoes of the Past", it's revealed that Hooty can actually remove himself from the house, though the process is disgusting and leaves his organs exposed. In the episode "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", it is revealed that the house has a basement, where Hooty created a "tunnel of love" so Luz can confess her feelings to Amity Blight. In "Edge of the World", Coven Scouts surrounded the house and started taking everything inside. In "O Titan, Where Art Thou", Luz, Hooty, and King returned to the house, only to find it empty and everything taken by the Emperor's Coven.
In "For the Future", after Luz, Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter return along with Luz's mother Camila Noceda, they find the house still abandoned and covered in graffiti. The group stay at the Coven for a while, Hunter stood outside while Camila spoke with Gus and Willow for some advice on how to help Luz to keep her from making a bad decision. Luz went into Eda's nest thinking her Palisman egg will hatch. Amity shows up to comfort her and told her how she got her Palisman. The gang later left the house and Hunter believe he saw Eda and King.
In "Watching and Dreaming", after Emperor Belos was finally destroyed, the House was later restored, and its door became the new portal between the Human and Demon realm.
Other appearances[]
The house made a brief appearance in a Chibi Tiny Tales short, as Scratch unsuccessfully tries to scare King.
The Owl House made a brief cameo in the Amphibia episode "If You Give a Frog a Cookie" as a blurry picture taken from another dimension.
Trivia[]
- Based on early concept and promotional artwork, the Owl House was originally going to be a shop.
