The Tri-Wizard Tournament
The Triwizard Tournament is held at irregular intervals. This will be the first time Hogwarts has hosted the tournament since the infamous death of Cedric Diggory (and rise of Lord Voldemort).
Now, once again, twenty students from two other schools in the world will join Hogwarts for the tournament. Of them, two will be chosen to represent their respective schools as champion. In Hogwarts too there will be a vote for who will represent the school in the tournament.
After the champions are chosen in October, the First Task will begin in 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 before the Third Task in May. All the tasks will be connected in some way.
The students from the other two schools may attend Hogwarts classes if they wish.
The Hogwarts Tournament
The Hogwarts Tournament is a magical competition held on Hogwarts every two years.
Hogwarts Tournament Champions are four students, selected from each Hogwarts house. They have to complete three individual tasks and the champion with the best combined score from all three tasks wins the tournament. Winner's prize is 1000 sickles, and a special award.
Hogwarts Tournament Judges give marks from 1 to 10 to each champion.There are five judges of the tournament. They mark students for their performance as well as their level of magical ability and the effectiveness of their strategy.
The four tasks: are based on the four houses and the qualities they value. Gryffindor's task is based on bravery, Hufflepuff's task is one of loyalty, Ravenclaw's requires logic and wisdom and Slytherin's tests cunning and determination.
There is a task every other month during the school term, starting in October and ending in May.
