A First Year is a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who is new to Hogwarts and in their first year of magical education. First Years are typically 11 to 12 years of age, and begin the year by crossing the Lake by boat under the direction of the Gamekeeper. Just before the Welcoming Feast, there is the Sorting ceremony; the students are Sorted into the four houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin) by the Sorting Hat. There are usually 10 first years per house (five girls, five boys), leaving a total of 40 students per year. First year classes include Flying Lessons, Potions, Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, History of Magic, Astronomy, and Charms. First years cannot go to Hogsmeade with the students in the third year or above, and they are not permitted to have their own broomstick inside the school grounds, an exception being Harry Potter, who is given a Nimbus 2000 in his first year, and Draco Malfoy, who is given a Nimbus 2001 by his father in his second year.
