The following events occurred in the 18th century:
- Quidditch is introduced to Australia.[1]
- The game Quodpot is created by Abraham Peasegood.[1]
- Several books and documents of "dubious scholarship" are published. Drawing partially from the writing of Salazar Slytherin, these works claimed that there were several signs that would identify a pure-blood child from infancy, such as early onset of magical ability, fear or dislike of pigs and Muggles, and resistance to common childhood illnesses.[2]
- A modern and complex plumbing system is installed at Hogwarts Castle, and bathroom facilities are created. Corvinus Gaunt, a student at the time, conceals the Chamber of Secrets behind some new plumbing fixtures and a sink after learning the secrecy of the entrance to the Chamber is in jeopardy: the room it was located in was going to be turned into a girls' lavatory.[3]
- Between 1718 and 1726: Azkaban is turned into a prison by Minister for Magic Damocles Rowle.[4]
