Start-of-Term Feast

The Welcoming Feast was a traditional part of the school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, held in the Great Hall. Held on the first night following the arrival of the students on the Hogwarts Express, the Welcoming Feast is notable for including the Sorting of all new students into their houses.

The Welcoming Feast is also used to introduce new members of the faculty to the student body, and to pass out announcements and messages concerning the new school year.
