It is also possible that the schedule is more complex than the simple grid given below and that classes are not always in the same slot. (It is possible, though unlikely, that it is Cho, not Harry, who is on the way to History of Magic.) In GF29 it is the first class on Friday, but an earlier passage implies that it takes place after lunch: “every time he glimpsed Cho that day–during break, and then lunchtime, and once on the way to History of Magic–she was surrounded by friends” ( GF22). For example, the days History of Magic are held are clearly Tuesday and Friday (History and Double Potions on the same day–what an ordeal), but the time of day is not clear.

A particular subject may meet once or twice per week. “Double” classes are twice the length of other lessons. The course schedule is quite consistent and follows a pattern Americans associate with college schedules: three, possibly four class periods per day, two before and two after lunch, with a break between the two morning classes (there is only documentation of break on Fridays, but I have assumed it would take place every day). Instead, the calendar that follows is as nearly as possible internally consistent. In a few places, which are noted, adjustments such as extra or omitted days are necessary. As a result, I have not tried to make this calendar consistent with Real Life 1994-95. Therefore, although Easter fell on April 16 in 1995, this is not a reliable piece of evidence for deciding when “the Easter holidays” fall in GF Easter could be anywhere between the third week of March and the fourth week of April, as in any year.

However, she certainly was not attempting to conform to the actual 1994-1995 calendar, since the dates are explicitly contradicted ( e.g., Halloween fell on a Monday in 1994, but JKR places it on a Saturday). Overall, it is clear that Rowling did work out a class schedule and calendar for the year, since the vast majority of dates, days of the week, and intervals are consistent with each other. Since this is a direct port from an outdated system, some of the formatting might be a bit wonky and some links might not work.Ĭreating a reliable calendar of Harry’s fourth year at Hogwarts is possible if one allows for some vaguenesses and inconsistencies. We are working to create a version which will work on any size device, but that’s a bit trickier than you might think with the calendar layout. NOTE: This calendar is NOT formatted for smaller screens.
