The most famous Whomping Willow is the [[Hogwarts Whomping Willow|one planted on the grounds of Hogwarts]]. The Whomping Willow was planted around the year [[1971]] to disguise the opening of a secret passage leading from the Hogwarts grounds to the [[Shrieking Shack]] in the village of [[Hogsmeade]]. It had a small knot near the base. When that was pressed, the tree would become immobilised. This allowed [[Remus Lupin]] to travel unnoticed to and from the Shrieking Shack, where he was able to undergo his transformation as a [[Lycanthropy|werewolf]] in privacy.

The Hogwarts Whomping Willow

The most famous Whomping Willow is the one planted on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1] The Whomping Willow was planted around the year 1971 to disguise the opening of a secret passage leading from the Hogwarts grounds to the Shrieking Shack in the village of Hogsmeade.[3]

It had a small knot near the base. Pressing the knot caused the tree to become immobilised. This allowed Remus Lupin to travel unnoticed to and from the Shrieking Shack, where he was able to undergo his transformation into a werewolf in privacy.[4]

This same tree also nearly took the eye of student Davey Gudgeon.[3]
