- "...the 14th Century economic bubble burst following the Soap Blizzard of 1378... Harry, you startled me! But I won't deduct extra house points, just the usual 5 for interrupting."
- — Harry Potter interrupting Cuthbert Binns's lecture on this blizzard[src]
The Soap Blizzard of 1378 was, presumably, a blizzard of soap that occurred sometime in 1378. This blizzard was followed by a burst of the 14th Century Wizarding Economic Bubble.[1][2] Gringotts Wizarding Bank was established not long after this event.[2]
History[]
- "All right, class, settle down. Today we're discussing the Soap Blizzard of 1378. It was a volatile event that burst the 14th Century Wizarding Economic Bubble!"
- — Professor Binns to seventh-years[src]
The 14th Century Wizarding Economic Bubble was taught to sixth-year students in History of Magic classes during the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts by Professor Cuthbert Binns, and was possibly also mentioned at some point in or before their fifth year.[3] Binns later covered the Soap Blizzard of 1378 specifically to seventh-years in the 1990–1991 school year.[2]
Professor Binns was giving a lecture on these events to a first-year History of Magic class sometime during the 1991–1992 school year at Hogwarts, when he was accidentally interrupted by Harry Potter.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- The line of dialogue that mentions this strike was intended to be used in the Game Boy Color version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as part of a mechanic where Harry would lose house points for interrupting classes. However, this is impossible in the final game, and thus this dialogue goes unused, though it still appears in the game's files.[4]
