A star chart was a written document. It was used to represent the positions and movements of the stars, pretty much like an ordinary map. Astronomers usually use these for research or study. An O.W.L.-level wizard or witch should be able of fill in a blank star chart based on some hours of sky gazing in Astronomy.[1]
History[]
During the 1989–1990 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, sixth-year Astronomy students were tasked with the making of star charts in class.[3]
Badeea Ali owned a star chart in the 1980s.[4]
During the 1994–1995 school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Sybill Trelawney had fourth-year Divination students complete star charts in class, as part of their studies in Astrology.[2]
In the 1995–1996 school year, fifth-year O.W.L. students at Hogwarts had to "fill in a blank star chart" based on a few hours of observing the night sky as part of their O.W.L. exam.[1]
