Troll in the girls bathroom after leaving the dungeons

In 1991, the feast was interrupted by Professor Quirrell, who came in screaming that there was a troll in the dungeons before fainting. In reality, the troll had been secretly let in by Quirrel under Lord Voldemort's orders.[1] The feast was cut short and all the students had to finish it in their common rooms, while the teachers went to find the troll. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley went off to find and inform Hermione Granger about it in the bathroom and ran into the troll.[2]

Deathday Party

In 1992, it was rumoured that Albus Dumbledore had booked a band of skeletons to play there. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger did not attend the feast; instead, they were at Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington's 500th Deathday Party.[3] As such, Argus Filch believed that they were involved with the Petrification of his cat, Mrs Norris, which occurred on the same night, since they were not at the feast with all the other students.

1993

During the Hallowe'en feast in Harry Potter's Third year Sirius Black attempted to break into the Gryffindor Common Room to murder Peter Pettigrew (disguised as Scabbers). However, when the Fat Lady did not let him in he slashed her portrait.

1994

The selection of champions through the Goblet of Fire

In Harry Potter's fourth year, the Hallowe'en Feast had an added dimension, as the Goblet of Fire was present to divulge the names of the champions for the Triwizard Tournament. Unexpectedly, after the three champions were chosen, a fourth name came out of the Goblet: Harry Potter's.[4]
