There are a handful of times in the whole series that Harry is submerged in water, and yet, none of them are paired with a loofah and bar of soap. After all, in the real world, electricity and ancient castles do not exactly go hand in hand. It would stand that trying to equip an old castle with electrical wiring and plumbing would be an issue in the magical world, too.
And beyond pipes, and the well-explained magical properties that clearly articulate that electricity does not work near magic, Hogwarts is a really old building. Equipping an old castle that houses a thousand students with hot water systems could certainly be a safety hazard. And it is true that necessity is the mother of invention. So of course there are no wizarding iPads or cellphones. And despite the fact that ballpoint pens exist, the young pupils in the wizarding world and the working adults of the Ministry of Magic all use quills.
Wizards have it all set up, more or less. Rowling could have, maybe, just forgot to let us know about a magical spell that keeps wizards clean without showering, that each kid does every single day before class. Maybe the showers do exist and she never bothered to write about them because she feared being painted as being untoward towards young kids.
After all, they live about 80 years longer than the average muggle. Or maybe the wizarding world is so stuck in the dark ages that they believe that frequent showers make you susceptible to disease. But I honestly believe that Hogwarts is full of very stinky wizards. Harry Potter stinks. But the books remain great.

If they became a prefect, Jacob's sibling was on that tour as well. Later in the school year, Jacob's sibling entered the bathroom with the older two Weasley brothers in order to talk to Duncan Ashe in order to find out more about Jacob 's time at Hogwarts, and later to get the Vault Portrait from Peeves. Not long afterwards, Charlie entered the bath and was horrified to see frogs everywhere.
After the first task of the Triwizard Tournament , Barty Crouch Jnr , disguised as Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody , told Cedric Diggory to open the golden egg that contained the clue for the second task under water. Underwater, he could hear the merpeople 's song, but it took him some time to deduce that it was sung by merpeople, despite the fact that the mermaid in a nearby painting was wide awake.
Myrtle Warren , who visited this bathroom sometimes to spy on the prefects, witnessed the scene. Cedric then told Harry, in return for telling him about the first task dragons.
Harry Potter in the bathroom with the golden egg. After the Yule Ball , Cedric Diggory told Harry Potter to try to solve the riddle of the golden egg while taking a bath in the prefects' bathroom. He also gave him the current password, which was " pine fresh ". Awed as he was by the bathroom, he had no idea at first how a bath was going to help him solve the egg's clue.
He filled the pool with water and bubble bath from several taps, took a short swim and opened the egg. As usual, it emitted a loud, wailing noise and he closed it quickly.
