The End-of-Year Feast

The school year ends with a celebratory feast in the Great Hall. The Petrified victims, including Hermione, Colin Creevey, and Justin Finch-Fletchley, are revived with Mandrake Restorative Draught. Hagrid returns from Azkaban, and the school is filled with joy and relief. Dumbledore announces that exams are canceled as a school treat, much to Hermione's dismay, and that Lockhart will not be returning due to memory loss. Gryffindor wins the House Cup for the second year running, thanks to Harry and Ron's four hundred points. The feast is a moment of closure and celebration, marking the end of a dangerous year and the restoration of peace to Hogwarts.
