History of Magic, Assignment 1: Battle of Hogwarts
Also known as the final battle of Hogwarts that had signified the end of the Second Wizarding War, the Battle of Hogwarts took place within the castle and grounds of Hogwarts School. The two sides fighting in this said war was between “Dumbledore’s Army” who were backed up with the communication of the Order of the Phoenix and other allies; against Lord Voldemort. Professor McGonagall ordered students to either be evacuated or to help out in the battle for defence, whilst Argus Filch was ordered to summon Peeves the Poltergeist to help aid the defence. The D.A. army, together with ex-students and the Order of the Phoenix had arrived to help fight against the defences of Lord Voldemort and his loyal death eaters. After battling for so long, Dumbledore’s Army (DA) and the Order of the Phoenix were crowned victorious, leaving Lord Voldemort dead. In the final show down between Lord Voldemort and Harry Potter, Voldemort summoned the Avada Kedavra curse on Potter but little did he know that part of his soul was attached to Harry’s and in doing so had managed to kill himself as that was the last horcrux because the power of Malfoy’s wand was no match for the courage of Harry himself.
