Education at Hogwarts
"Every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now: students. If they can do it, why not us?"

- Harry Potter inspiring the members of Dumbledore's Army

She started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991 and was Sorted into Hufflepuff. Her twin sister, however, was Sorted into Gryffindor.

In 1994, Hogwarts held the Triwizard Tournament. She supported Cedric Diggory in the Tournament and wore a 'Potter Stinks' badge from Draco Malfoy. She attended Defence Against the Dark Arts classes with students from the other houses this year and was taught by Professor Alastor Moody, who demonstrated the three Unforgivable Curses in front of the class. At the end of the year, Cedric Diggory, a fellow Hufflepuff, was murdered by Lord Voldemort and Hogwarts held a Memorial Feast to Cedric Diggory.



In 1995, her fifth year, Dolores Umbridge was appointed as Hogwarts High Inquisitor and Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, so that the Ministry of Magic could keep watch on Albus Dumbledore after he and Harry Potter claimed that Lord Voldemort had returned. Umbridge refused to teach students any form of practical defence, and, given the circumstances, Hermione Granger felt that the student body needed a teacher who would, so then an alliance called Dumbledore's Army was formed. The Hufflepuff girl joined the D.A. and practised at several meetings, learning spells such as Expelliarmus and the Patronus Charm.

Behind the scenes

 * During one lesson, Harry was giving a speech and whilst doing so he was checking on students. He checked on this student and raised her arm to give her better aim, and after doing so she managed to perform a nonverbal version of Stupefy, to which she looked pleased and slightly embarrassed for Harry touching her. This is quite advanced as other students were finding it difficult to perform disarming spells verbally.
 * She is portrayed by actress Siobhan Ellen Williams in the films Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This actress also plays a Gryffindor student in the same film.
 * As she is a notable character in the film version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix she may be either Luca Carruse or Alice Tolipan (two named students on the Dumbledore's Army parchment that don't appear in the books).
 * She may also be Megan Jones.
