A harp is a stringed musical instrument with the plane of its strings positioned perpendicular to the soundboard.[3] Harps could be enchanted to be played without assistance.[4][2]
History[]
During the 1890–1891 school year, there was a harp on display in the shop Flutes and Lutes in Hogsmeade.[5] The shop Mélodie P. Magasin de Musique sold harps.[6]
In the 1989–1990 school year, Professor Sybill Trelawney would often have her Divination students observe harps and other items in class in order for them to develop their senses.[7]
During the 1991–1992 school year at Hogwarts, a harp was used by Quirinus Quirrell to prevent the three-headed dog Fluffy from waking up while Quirrell attempted to steal the Philosopher's Stone for Lord Voldemort.[1] During their performance at the 1993 Start-of-Term Feast in the Great Hall, the Hogwarts choir were accompanied by a harp.[8] A harp was stored in the Room of Requirement during the 1996–1997 school year.[9]
Since some point by 2008, a self-played harp was located in each of the common rooms at Hogwarts. They remained there throughout a Muggle-born student's time there from 2008 to 2015.[10]
During the Calamity, which affected the wizarding world in the 2010s, Self-Playing Harps owned by Madam Malkin and Minerva McGonagall manifested as Foundables, which had to be returned to their owners by members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force.[2]
