Second World War

The Second World War (also known as World War Two) was a Muggle military conflict that lasted from 1939 to 1945 and involved all of the world's great powers.

Frank Bryce was called for military service during the Second World War. During the War, his leg was wounded and forced him to leave the service early, being back at Little Hangleton by 1943.

Behind the scenes

 * In the W.O.M.B.A.T. aptitude test, it is mentioned that a secret task force of Wizards and Muggles may have helped the Allies to victory in the Second World War. However, as this was only one of several possible choices, it is unknown if this is true.
 * The fact that Albus Dumbledore defeated dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945 may be based on the Allies victory over Germany.

Appearances

 * Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
