When you reach the giant squid, and have to make it break the large stone arch, during the cut scene of the arch breaking, you can see the next shell in the bottom of the screen. We'll teach just those whose ancestry's purest." — Professor Slytherin's opinion on the running of Hogwarts [src] Transfiguration Courtyard - Enter the door beside the fast travel point and go up the steps. The key is floating near the Rhino skeleton display. Percy Weasley was still reading about his future career possibilities after his careers advice. In Diagon Alley, he read about the later careers of Hogwarts prefects, just before he started his sixth year. [51] After the battle, Hogwarts was repaired. Some students, such as Hermione Granger, returned to the school in 1998 to complete their education.
Jacob grew increasingly obsessed with his quest to prove the existence of the Cursed Vaults throughout his school career and broke several school rules in his effort to locate them. The situation escalated further as when the pupil finally found it, he examined the outer chamber leading to the vault and, as a result of tampering with magic he did not understand, he inadvertently unleashed a curse that threatened to encase the entire castle in ice, injuring several students in the process. Hermione Granger: " So top grade's O for 'Outstanding,' and then there's A —" George Weasley: " No, E. E for 'Exceeds Expectations'." — Discussion over O.W.L. marks [src] About three hundred years after the school was founded, the Triwizard Tournament was established as an interscholastic competition between three of the most prestigious magical schools in Europe: Hogwarts, Beauxbatons ( France) and Durmstrang (an unknown Northern European country). This tournament was considered the best way for wizards and witches of different nationalities to meet and socialise. The tournament continued for six centuries, until the death toll became too high. The tournament was discontinued until 1994. [21]The Charms exam required students to perform the Cheering Charm, Freezing Spell, [121] and others. A separate room stood at the ready, if a student overdid their Cheering Charm. [68] The primary mode of transport to Hogwarts is the Hogwarts Express that students take at the start of each school year. Students board the train from the also fictional and hidden Platform 9 + 3⁄ 4 at King's Cross station in London. The train arrives at Hogsmeade station near Hogwarts, sometime after nightfall. As you will all be aware after their search of the Hogwarts Express, our school is presently playing host to some of the Dementors of Azkaban, who are here on Ministry of Magic business. They are stationed at every entrance to the grounds, and while they are with us, I must make it plain that nobody is to leave school without permission." — Albus Dumbledore announcing the presence of Dementors at Hogwarts in 1993 [src] When moving the small platforms to cross a gap, when you are at the half way point and need to reuse the platforms, look down behind you (on the halfway ledge) and the web is there. Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, [71] normal school life had resumed with Minerva McGonagall still as Headmistress and Rubeus Hagrid still as the Care of Magical Creatures professor and Keeper of Keys and Grounds, and Neville Longbottom had become the Herbology professor and the Head of Gryffindor House. [72]
Located near the kitchens. To enter, one must tap a fake barrel in the rhythm " Helga Hufflepuff." It was the only common room to have a way to keep students from other houses out (by dumping vinegar on them). [80] At the end of their fifth year, students take the Ordinary Wizarding Level ( O.W.L.) examinations for all subjects in which they are enrolled. [ citation needed] Each examination consists of a written knowledge test and, where applicable, a practical demonstration of skills before a panel of proctors from the Ministry of Magic. Students who achieve a high enough O.W.L. grade in a particular subject may take its advanced course for the final two years, in preparation for the Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests (N.E.W.T.) given at the end of the seventh year. The existence of the school was threatened twice when the Chamber of Secrets was opened. The first time it was opened was in 1942, when Tom Riddle, the Heir of Slytherin and the man who would become Lord Voldemort, opened the Chamber in his fifth year. [51] Grading on routine homework seemed to be along the same lines as that for Muggle students. Hogwarts students also had more difficult exams as they progressed higher in the system. O.W.L.s (Ordinary Wizarding Levels) were a set of standardised tests for fifth year students, which determined what courses a student could continue to study in their final years at Hogwarts. They were the wizarding equivalent of Muggle O-levels. [69]Letters to Muggle-born witches and wizards, such as Hermione and Harry's mother Lily Evans, as well as Tom Marvolo Riddle (Voldemort) and Harry (half-bloods who lived with Muggles and knew nothing of the wizarding world), who may not have been aware of their powers and were unfamiliar with the concealed wizarding world, were delivered in person by a member of Hogwarts staff, who then explained to the parents/guardians about magical society, and reassured them regarding this news. They also assisted the family in regards to buying supplies and gaining access to Diagon Alley. [51] Each House represents one of the four classical elements: Fire ( Gryffindor), Earth ( Hufflepuff), Air ( Ravenclaw), and Water ( Slytherin). Each of these also represents one of the four states of matter: Plasma (Fire, Gryffindor), Gas (Air, Ravenclaw), Liquid (Water, Slytherin), and Solid (Earth, Hufflepuff). [2] Follow the markers until you arrive at the destination. The key will zip straight to a nearby classroom, whereupon you'll notice a curious-looking cabinet. Interact with it to start a minigame. Jacob's sibling: " Who created the Cursed Vaults? And why?" Albus Dumbledore: " There are many theories. Some say they were crafted by one of the Founders, others say they were built by a paranoid Headmaster... As far as why, most of the speculation is too dangerous and implausible to indulge until we know the truth." — Jacob's sibling talking to Albus Dumbledore about the Cursed Vaults [src]
After crossing the ledges you made using the burning torches on the Devil’s Snare, you can find a web above the Dark Magic ball.Rowling's statement is supported by the fact that, when Harry sees his father doing his O.W.L. (in the Pensieve in Snape's office), there are over 150 students. Secondly, during a Quidditch match, everybody was supporting Gryffindor except around 200 Slytherins supporting their own. It is also possible that there are more dormitories that don't appear in the books and films. The only ones mentioned in the books are the ones that house the students who are actually in the book, e.g. Harry, Ron, Neville, Hermione. On Hallowe'en of the 1981– 1982 school year, news would have reached the school of the fall of Lord Voldemort and his failed attempt at murdering the infant Harry Potter, after which students and staff alike would have celebrated the fall of the Dark Lord. In the 1992 History of Magic exam, the test lasted for one hour and the students were required to answer questions about the invention of the Self-Stirring Cauldron by Gaspard Shingleton. [1] 1993 second year exams Harry first thought of his career after Hogwarts when he discussed it with Bartemius Crouch Junior (disguised as Alastor Moody) in his fourth year. Crouch suggested that he (and Hermione Granger) would be suitable to become Aurors. [21]
