The Chronology is a general timeline of events derived from information provided in the series of Harry Potter novels written by J.K. Rowling, along with additional materials posted on her web site and published in various interviews. The timeline covers events referred to and occuring within the novels. It is commonly referenced and used by online media websites which pertain to the Harry Potter fandom, such as the Harry Potter Lexicon, when discussing Rowling's work. The timeline appears in other media, such as the DVD copies of the films produced by Warner Bros.^[1] This article is about the Harry Potter series of novels. ... Joanne Rowling OBE (born July 31, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire), commonly known as J.K. Rowling (pronunciation: roll-ing; her former students used to joke with her name calling her the Rolling Stone), is a British fiction writer. ...

The timeline itself contains flaws, which Rowling has on occasion acknowledged, and sometimes contradicts itself or does not agree with real calendar days and dates for events being described.^[2][3] Nonetheless, it has become a generally accepted timeline for the events within the novels.^[4] A page from the Hindu calendar 1871-72. ...

The dates provided in the timeline are derived from bits of information provided by Rowling, either directly in her books, on her website, during published interviews, or from other published materials. For example the Black Family Tree, first mentioned in the fifth book of the series The Order of the Phoenix was extended and donated for a charity auction. That extended version included birthdates and death years for several key characters.^[5] The Black family tree shows the members of one of the oldest magical families, and their links with many other magical families in the Harry Potter fantasy books. ... This article is about the book. ...

There are two sources which each lay claim to producing the original "official" versions of the general timeline, as "approved" by Rowling:

• Warner Bros. is the producer the Harry Potter films, and holds the associated copyrights and trademarks related to Harry Potter media. DVD editions of the Harry Potter films Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire, contain the timeline of events, which take place over the course of the films and in the narrative of the novels. Warner Bros. originally developed the timeline as part of the feature package for the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) DVD. Rowling reviewed the timeline and made several changes before approving it as "official".^[6]
• The Harry Potter Lexicon is a major online encyclopaedia, providing reference information on the world of Harry Potter and the fan base. The site-creator, Steve Vander Ark, claims to have been the original author of the HP timeline in 2000, and that it was subsequently adapted for use in the Warner Bros. DVD film editions in subsequent years.^[7]

Quarrels over original authorship of the timeline notwithstanding, the official timeline as published has been reviewed and implicitly approved by Rowling, in spite of perceived flaws. Rowling acknowledged not being particularly attentive to the mathematics involved, and some critics "have expressed a stong belief that Rowling does not want her stories dated at all, pointing out that she has intentionally avoided giving dates when it would have been natural to do so."^[8] Warner Bros. ...

Timeline Basis

The basis of the official timeline was derived from several reference points provided by Rowling. One firm reference point is provided in Rowling’s second book, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, set in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts. During the Halloween celebrations at the school, a long dead ghost called Nearly Headless Nick celebrates the anniversary of his death, which took place on a long-ago 31 October, with a "five hundredth deathday" party. A central feature of this party is an "enormous grey cake in the shape of a tombstone", stating "Sir Nicholas de Mimsey Porpington [the real name of 'Nearly Headless Nick'] died 31st October, 1492". Thus, Rowling sets the date on which the event takes place in the book as 31 October 1992.^[9] This means that Rowling places Harry's sorting ceremony, the year before, in 1991,^[10] and Harry's birth year in 1980, since she has also stated that Hogwarts students must be eleven years old to start their first year.^[11] Harry himself, in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, had turned 11 years old in the school year preceeding his first at Hogwarts.^[12] Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film) or Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by J.K. Rowling, is the sequel to Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. ... Halloween, or Halloween, is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets, fruit, and other gifts. ... The article is about the ghosts which inhabit Hogwarts in the Harry Potter novels by J. K. Rowling. ... October 31 is the 304th day of the year (305th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 61 days remaining. ... October 31 is the 304th day of the year (305th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar, with 61 days remaining. ... 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ...

Rowling, however, in using the life and death of 'Nearly Headless Nick' to express the chronology of her novels, initially contradicted herself. As she originally wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Nearly-Headless Nick claimed to Harry that "I haven't eaten for nearly four hundred years"^[13] Had Rowling left this statement unchanged, it would have created an inconsistency in her timeline. However, she corrected the statement in later editions to read "I haven't eaten for nearly five hundred years" - making it consistent with what she had disclosed in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.^[14] Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone is the first volume in a series of seven books by British author J. K. Rowling and featuring the fictional character, Harry Potter, a young wizard. ...

Rowling later gave further confirmation of this originally disclosed timeline anchor when, in early 2006, she donated a hand-drawn copy of the Black family tree to a charity auction for Book Aid International.^[15] In that document, she included the birth year of one of Harry's classmates, Draco Malfoy, as 1980.^[16] She had previously, in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, revealed Draco's birthday to be (like that of Harry) late in the school year, and past January.^[17] By means of these two devices, she thus also clearly set the birthdate of her main character as 31 July 1980, and thus, by extension, reinforced her original signalling that the Sorting Ceremony which takes place on 1 September in her original book was envisioned by her as taking place in the chronological year 1991.^[18] The Black family tree shows the members of one of the oldest magical families, and their links with many other magical families in the Harry Potter fantasy books. ... Draco Malfoy (born 5 June 1980[1]) is a fictional antagonist character in J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter books and Harry Potters principal rival and a foil. ...

September 1 is the 244th day of the year (245th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Rowling's manuscript depiction of The Black Family Tree was shown as being similar to that she had described in the form of a tapestry, appearing in Order of the Phoenix on the wall of the Black family home. In her manuscript copy, Rowling drew several lacunae (which had been explained by her in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as burns in the Tapestry Tree featuring in the novel), which she noted as obscuring the names and birthdates of a number of disowned members of the Black family Рincluding a major character of the novels, Sirius Black.^[19][20] This obscuration of Sirius's details allowed Rowling to avoid explicitly stating the year in which she supposes the character to have been born; which, in turn, allowed the author to avoid explicitly giving the birth-year(s) of the main character's parents, James and Lily Potter, as well as of Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, all of whom Rowling has specified as being in the same school year.^[21] However, as is her custom, Rowling has left various clues through which she strongly suggests a small range of dates in which Severus Snape, Lily Potter, and 'The Marauders' (as she entitles Black, Lupin, Pettigrew and Potter). For example, on the Family Tree, she notes Sirius's older cousin Bellatrix Lestrange as being born in 1951.^[22] Because she has already noted, in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, that Lestrange and Severus Snape were in a gang together at school,^[23] she thus not only clearly indicates that Bellatrix's final school year was either 1968-69 or 1969-70, but also uses her previous reference in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire to demonstrate that because Snape had been at school at the same time as her, his first school year (and that of his year-mates) must have been, at the latest, the school years of either 1968/69 or 1969/70.^[24] This article is about the book. ...

Rowling has also given three other references to the ages of the year-group which she supposes to have included Black, Lupin, Pettigrew, the Potters and Snape.

• She has stated in an interview (after the publication of Goblet of Fire) that she imagined Snape to have been "35 or 36 years old" during the book, which (according to the specifications she gave in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) was set in the 1994-1995 school year.^[25] This being the case, Rowling thus indicated in her interview statement that Snape's birth-year was in the 1958 - 1960 time frame. She also posted Snape's birthday as 9 January on her official website "desk calendar" on that day in 2006,^[26] but did not provide an age or birth year. Snape's first year at Hogwarts as an eleven-year-old would have been in the 1969 to 1971 time frame.^[27][28]

• Rowling also posted some biographical information about Sirius Black on her website, in order to give an indication of his age. According to her, Black was 'around 22' when he was first imprisoned in Azkaban on 1 November 1981.^[29] Since she uses "around" to indicate that her statement is not precise, she thus places her idea of Black's age in the 1958 – 1960 time frame – matching that of Snape, and confirming that as Snape's year-mates, Black and his friends would then also have begun attending school at Hogwarts as eleven-year-olds during the 1969 to 1971 time frame.^[30][31]

• As a final indication of the time period during which the Potters and their contemporaries lived, Rowling placed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix a casual reference to the space of time separating Harry from his parents at his age. In the book, Rowling made Harry observe a three-dimensional recollection of an incident in a Pensieve, during which his father James Potter and Severus Snape were sitting their O.W.L. exams at the end of their fifth year (and thus aged 15-16).^[32] She later refers to the scene the scene as occurring "more than twenty years ago".^[33] This recollection, and reference to the space of time, was set during Harry's fifth year, and is would have taken place after the Easter of 1996.^[34] Rowling thus indicates that the exams took place in the school year 1975-1976 or earlier, giving a birth year for Snape of 1960 or earlier, and his and his classmates' initial attendance at Hogwarts in the year 1971 or earlier.^[35]

The dating of the elder Potters and their friends is complicated by the fact that for each school year, the actual birthday may fall in one of two years, depending on the precise day and month; the specific month and day for many characters are not known.^[36] << Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix >> This article is about the book. ...

Contradictions

There are numerous contradictions in the timeline, both internal and compared with the real-world timeline – for example, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone opens on Tuesday 1st of November, despite 1 November 1980 historically being a Sunday.^[37][38] Rowling herself has admitted having difficulty with managing mathematics in the FAQ section of her website.^[39] November 1 is the 305th day of the year (306th in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 60 days remaining. ... 1980 (MCMLXXX) was a leap year starting on Tuesday. ...

Historical problems

Rowling also, at times, fails to match chronological history in her novels to the real chronological history of the same period.

• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, set in the historical year 1996–1997, features a meeting between the 'Minister for Magic', and the 'Muggle' Prime Minister at the beginning of the book (i.e. the Summer of 1996): historically, at this time, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was John Major. Rowling gives no direct indications that her iteration of the nameless Prime Minister is not Major. However, she uses a comment of the Minister for Magic ("...you're taking it a lot better than your predecessor. He tried to throw me out of the window...") to indicate that the previous UK Prime Minister was male: yet, historically, Major's predecessor was Britain's only female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

• Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone features an important involvement of the noted 14/15th century alchemist, Nicholas Flamel, in the plot of the novel. Flamel, Rowling states, became immortal by use of "The Elixir of Life", her representation of him living until c.1992. In the course of the novel, this version of Flamel is noted as being 665 – an age which the historical Flamel would not have reached until 1996.^[40]

• Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire features a reference towards the beginning of Harry Potter's cousin, Dudley Dursley, owning a Sony PlayStation. This, according to Rowling's timeline, would have occurred during the summer of 1994 – at which point, historically, Playstations were not yet on sale.^[41]

Timeline of the Harry Potter series

Events

• 382 BC

According to Rowling, the Ollivanders – a family of magic wand producers – have been in business since this date.^[42]

• AD 962

Rowling dated the first use of broomsticks for transport very precisely, dating it "as early as AD 962".^[43]

• c. 1000

Although the precise date is unknown to those within the novels, Rowling envisioned (in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, set in 1992–1993) Hogwarts, the magical centrepiece of her novels, as having been built "over a thousand years ago" by the four 'Founders', two witches and two wizards (named Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin) whom she portrays as revered figures through the novels. According to Rowling, the education of magical children began at the school at the same time; although, following the standard pattern of creation myths, she depicts this endeavour as becoming lessened due to internal dissent: two of the founders, Slytherin and Gryffindor, quarrel over their creation (Slytherin demanding that they not teach magical students whose families are not magical), resulting in Slytherin rebelling and abandoning the endeavour. At the same time, before leaving, he builds the Chamber of Secrets, a hidden chamber containing a deadly serpent.^[44]

• c. 1294

The Triwizard Tournament, a competition Rowling uses as a major feature in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is dated by her in that book (taking place in the year 1994–1995) as having been established "some seven hundred years ago". Rowling writes that, although a friendly competition, it was ended at an unknown point due to the mounting death toll. She noted, however, that there were several intervening centuries between the cancellation and the novel in which it becomes relevant, since "there have been several attempts over the centuries to reinstate the tournament."^[45]

• 1473

Rowling considered this a particularly notable date in the history of the major sport of her novels, Quidditch: not does she envision it as the year of the first Quidditch World Cup (a major sporting event in her novels, as seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), but she also humorously in Quidditch Through the Ages that, of the 700 fouls she writes of as existing in the game, "all of them are known to have occurred during the final of the first ever World Cup" in this year.^[46]

• c. 1891

Rowling imagines that Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter's headmaster and mentor, began teaching (not head-teaching) at Hogwarts around this chronological year^{[citation needed]}

• 1918

Rowling cites this year as that in which Newt Scamander (who, within the context of her novels, is the "real" author of her book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) was asked to write a compendium of magical beasts – which, she explains, eventually became the book she herself wrote for Comic Relief.^[47]

• late 1925

Rowling used this as an important year in the plot development of her sixth novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: she depicts this year as seeing the marriage of the parents of Lord Voldemort (the main antagonist of the novels), and the conception of Voldemort himself, facilitated. Rowling depicts the events leading to this facilitation in flashbacks in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: an attack by the family of Merope Gaunt (Voldemort's eventual mother) on Tom Riddle Sr (Voldemort's eventual father) leads to Gaunt's family being arrested and gaoled. As Rowling describes it (via the narrative of Albus Dumbledore), Gaunt reacts to her family's imprisonment by enchanting Riddle (with whom she has fallen in love) into loving her; and the two, again according to Rowling by means of Dumbledore's explanation, were married roughly a year before the birth of their child.^[48]

• 1926

A fateful year in Rowling's novels: the very end of the year, New Year's Eve, sees the birth of Tom Marvolo Riddle, who, the author has already demonstrated (in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) will grow up to be the principle villain of her novels, "Lord Voldemort". She records this in expository dialogue in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, also noting that the baby's father had abandoned his wife, Merope Gaunt, some months before the birth; Gaunt herself dies an hour after the birth of her son, leaving the young Riddle entirely alone and unloved, to grow up in an orphanage, where – Rowling makes clear – he will gradually become the monstrous and terrifying figure who stalks through her novels.^[49]

• 1927

The fictional publication year of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them &dnash; which, in reality, was written and published by Rowling herself in 2001.^[50]

• September 1938

According to the dates recorded in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, this year saw Tom Marvolo Riddle( i.e. Voldemort) beginning his education at Hogwarts.^[51]

• September 1940

Rubeus Hagrid – the kindly and friend whom Rowling uses in her novels as a protector of Harry – starts at Hogwarts.^[52]

• July-August 1942

Rowling uses this point to mark a milestone in the transformation of Tom Riddle into Lord Voldemort: as told in retrospect in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Riddle, aged 15, visits his estranged family, and murders his father and paternal grandparents, then frames his uncle Morfin Gaunt for the crimes.^[53]

• June 1943

As Rowling relates in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, precisely 50 years before the events of that book, Riddle secretly opened the Chamber of Secrets (introduced by Rowling in this book, a legendary hidden chamber under the castle, built by the rebellious founder Slytherin), and released the monstrous serpent (a basilisk) hidden within. As a result, a young student, Myrtle, was killed. Riddle – who, like Harry, is depicted as hating his home in the mundane world, and enjoying life in the school – being shown by Rowling to fear that the school will be closed because of his actions, is then shown to frame Rubeus Hagrid (who, Rowling has already shown in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, will later become Harry's friend) Hagrid for the crime. As a result, Hagrid is expelled, and Riddle – whose culpability in the matter is unknown – is rewarded; although Rowling also ensures that the matter is reversed by the end of the same novel.^[54]

• 1945

According to a throw-away comment she made by means of a trading card in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the wise and powerful Headmaster of the novels, Albus Dumbledore, defeated a Dark Wizard named Grindelwald in this year.^[55] Historically, it was the year in which the Second World War ended, with the defeat of the German leader Adolf Hitler. These two facts, according to Rowling, are not a coincidence.^{[citation needed]}

The same year has also been shown by Rowling as seeing the graduation of Tom Riddle from Hogwarts. As she revealed in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, he requested of the headmaster, Armando Dippet, that he be employed by the school as a teacher; significantly to the plot of the novels, this request was refused, and Rowling notes that Riddle instead found work in Borgin and Burkes, shown in the novels to be a purveyor of cursed and dangerous objects.^[56]

• c.1945-1947

Around these years, Rowling notes in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Tom Riddle – having discovered in the course of his work at Borgin and Burkes two treasures, formerly the property of Salazar Slytherin and Helga Hufflepuff (that of Slytherin, Rowling is careful to note, was a hereditary possession of Riddle's maternal family) – facilitates the murder of the objects' legal owner, and disappears. This marks the final chronological stage in the novels when he appears as Tom Riddle; when he next appears, he has become in appearance and nature "Lord Voldemort".^[57]

• ca. 1948

Harry Potter's used copy of Advanced Potion-Making, marked with This Book is the Property of the Half-Blood Prince, is dated as published in this time frame - being "nearly fifty years old" during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts.^[58] The textbook previously belonged to Severus Snape, and his mother Eileen Prince before him.

• 1956

Rowling revealed in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that Minerva McGonagall, the firm but fair Deputy Headmistress who plays a minor role in the novels, had in the autumn term of that novel (and thus the chronological year of 1995) been teaching "Thirty-nine years this December": thus, since the December of 1956.^[59]

The year in which Albus Dumbledore became Headmaster is not certain. However, Rowling's plot exposition in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince made it clear that he became Headmaster around 10 years after Rowling implies Riddle disappeared - and thus, somewhere between 1955 and 1957.^[60][61]

It is also implied in the same novel that, shortly after Dumbledore became Headmaster, Riddle returned to Britain – fully in the name and guise now of "Lord Voldemort" – and requested the Defence Against the Dark Arts teaching position. When refused this by Dumbledore, Rowling explains, Voldemort – who had already recruited followers, including Rosier, Nott, Mulciber, and Dolohov, 'jinxed' the post he had requested – an explanation given by Rowling for the regular change on the school staff to that position each year in the novels.^[62]

• c. 1966

As noted by Rowling, through a comment of the 'Minister for Magic' in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (in the chronological year 1996), Voldemort, becoming more powerful, is supposed to have begun his campaign of fear against the Wizarding World around this time.^[63]

• c. 1968-1970

Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett, the parents of Ron Weasley (the best friend of Harry Potter), who are known to have eloped, are presumed to have done so around this period.^[64]

Autumn, c.1969: as noted above, the six notable characters (James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape) of the generation prior to that of the children who feature in Rowling's novels is likely to be intended by Rowling to have begun their first year at the school at this particular point; although Autumn 1970 is also possible. (See above).^[65]

• c.1976-1979

Rowling has not made clear when James Potter and Lily Evans – the parents of the main character – were married. Accordingly, no firm date exists; since it is known, through various pieces of information given by Rowling, that they were married by the time Harry was conceived, the range of marriage possibilities is thus from around 1976 to the Winter of 1979, when Rowling has made clear Harry was conceived.^[66]

• 1979

The year in which Regulus Black, the brother of Sirius Black, is shown as having died on the Black Family Tree.^[67] Rowling stated in an interview and in the fifth novel, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, that he was killed by Death Eaters, because he "got in a little too deep."^[68]

• c. late 1979 - early 1980

Rowling explained in first Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and then Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that Sybill Trelawney, the semi-competent Seer of the novels, made her first real Prophecy at some point in the year before the birth of Harry and Neville Longbottom: both of whom were referenced by the Prophecy in relating a substantial issue of the novels, the issue of who is 'destined' to destroy Lord Voldemort. This successful prophecy earned Trelawney a position at Hogwarts, teaching Divination, which allows Rowling to use her in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to make another real Prophecy.^[69]

• 1980

July - Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom are born.^[70]

• 1981

In Rowling's novels, the period from September-November 1981 is very important. The September sees Severus Snape – Harry's classroom enemy and eventual murderer of Albus Dumbledore – hired as Potions teacher at Hogwarts.^[71] Shortly after this, on 31 October 1981, comes the beginning of the first novel, and a seminal moment in Rowling's work: Voldemort, the enemy of Harry Potter, kills Lily and James Potter, but when attempting to kill the young Harry, is prevented from doing so by Lily, whose sacrifice to save Harry instills an inborne protection in her son. Harry, left with the scar he is distinctive for throughout the novels, is then sent to live with his maternal relatives, the Dursleys.^[72]

Rowling allocates to the next day, 1 November, the backstory of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Sirius Black, the misjudged villain of that novel, is arrested for the murder of Peter Pettigrew; Pettigrew, in fact, is not dead, but has fled into hiding, as will prove significant in Prisoner of Azkaban.^[73]

• 1991

The chronological year in which the first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, begins, Rowling writes July as being the month in which Harry Potter receives his invitation to attend Hogwarts. He, and the two characters whom Rowling places constantly at his side throughout the novels (Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger), begin attending the school in what Rowling demonstrates to be the September of that year.^[74]

• 1992

In the course of the first novel, the June of this year sees Harry defeat Lord Voldemort for a second time (although the first time shown to the readers by Rowling).^[75]

The same chronological year, although the next novel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is also set-up by Rowling as seeing the beginning of the main plot of the second novel, when the Chamber of Secrets is re-opened.^[76]

• 1993

The ending of the second novel and the beginning of the third: Rowling places the climax of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets – in which Harry destroys an incarnate memory of Tom Riddle (i.e. Lord Voldemort), rescues Ginny Weasley (who, it emerges, was responsible for the previous events) and, crucially to the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, destroys a Horcrux of Lord Voldemort – in the June of 1993. The event which begins the next novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, comes shortly after, when the major character of that novel – Sirius Black – escapes from Azkaban.^[77]

• 1994

Professor Trelawney gives her second prophecy to Harry Potter, regarding the return of the Dark Lord to power.^[78]

6 June - Harry learns of Sirius' innocence regarding the murder of his parents. Peter Pettigrew, guilt now established, flees and rejoins Voldemort.^[79]

Peter Pettigrew murders Bertha Jorkins.^[80]

Voldemort murders Frank Bryce.^[81]

Summer - Ireland wins the 422nd Quidditch World Cup.^[82]

Autumn - Hogwarts hosts the Triwizard Tournament for the first time in over a century^[83]

Saturday October 31 - The names of the champions for the Triwizard Tournament are revealed to the students. (This is contriversial due to the fact that October 31 is on a Monday in 1994)^[84]

November 24 - The first task of the Triwizard Tournament - Viktor Krum and Harry Potter tie for the lead with 40 points each.^[85]

• 1995

February 24 - The second task of the Triwizard Tournament is held - Harry and Cedric Diggory end up tied for the lead.^[86]

June 24 - The third task of the Triwizard Tournament is held.^[87]
