The Tri-Wizard Tournament
The Triwizard Tournament is held at random times, this year will be the first time Hogwarts will host the tournament since the infamous tournament where Cedric Diggory died.
Now, once again, twenty students from two other schools in the world will join Hogwarts for the tournament. Of them, two will represent their school as the champion. In Hogwarts too there will be a vote for who will represent their school in the tournament.
After the champions are chosen in October, the First Task will begin on November. Then, as a celebration for the tournament, the Yule Ball will be held during Christmas time. All students are invited to this ball.
Following this is the second task in February. Then the champions get a long break and only have to do the Third Task in May. All the tasks will be connected in some way.
The students from the other two schools will attend Hogwarts classes and stay at the castle in previously empty dormitories.
