Events

• At the Start-of-Term Feast, Albus Dumbledore did not introduce the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, and only announced that Patricia Rakepick was no longer teaching the subject.
• A statue curse caused the Petrification of four students and Poppy Pomfrey.
• As the Dark Wizard who had escaped Auror custody was known to be near Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore announced a new rule forbidding students from leaving Hogwarts grounds.
• Following the death of Rowan Khanna in the Forest Grove, a memorial ceremony for them took place in the Great Hall, where students and staff raised their wands as a tribute to Rowan.
• Alanza Alves, an exchange student from Castelobruxo, arrived at some point during the school year.

Behind the scenes

• According to Murphy McNully, he, Jacob's sibling, and Minerva McGonagall represented 0.018% of Hogwarts's population that year. If he's right, that would mean that year there was a total population of 16,667 people at Hogwarts. If he was just referring to himself and Jacob's sibling, that would mean the total student body would be 11,111 students.

Appearances

• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (First mentioned)
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) (Mentioned only)
