Warlocks' Convention of 1709

The Warlock's Convention of 1709, also known as the Warlocks' Convention was an official event in the history of the wizard community. The participants of the Convention have not been revealed.

During the Convention, the participants decided to outlaw artificial dragon breeding, both because dragons could not be tamed and because wizards with pet dragons would be easily detected by muggles. The decision was accepted as law, which was still in force 283 years later &mdash; much to the chagrin of Rubeus Hagrid, who would have liked to have a pet dragon.

The Convention and this particular consequence were well-known by wizards in the 20th century.

This event should not be confused with the International Warlocks' Convention of 1289.
