Second year

A Second Year is a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who is in their second year of magical education. Second Years are typically 12 to 13 years of age. The Second Year is the first year in which students are allowed to go with the rest of the school in the school carriages up to the castle. Students in the second year are generally taken to the more dangerous greenhouses in Herbology, and are allowed to try out for their house Quidditch teams. Second year classes include Potions, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, History of Magic, Astronomy, and Charms.

Like first years, second years aren't allowed to accompany those in the third year or above to Hogsmeade village for the weekend trips, however, they are allowed to have their own broom inside the school grounds
