Just because the professor of Charms and Head of Ravenclaw House, Filius Flitwick has to teach his class from the top of a pile of books does not take away from his skill and vast knowledge on the subject that he teaches. The room is set up ideally for dueling as it were. The door to enter the classroom is in the back and the desks are separated into three tiered juror type boxes that are on either wall. The center of the floor is left open for practical lessons and the very front of the room is where the chalkboards are, a wall of high windows over looking the grounds, and of course, Professor Flitwick's famous stack of books.
