Hogsmeade Weekend Trips are special trips that the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry can take on certain weekends to Hogsmeade village. Only third year students and above are allowed to go, but they require the permission of a parent or guardian.
In 1993, Harry missed his chance to go when the Dursleys didn't sign his permission form. Despite this, he attempted to persuade Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge and Professor McGonagall to sign it; Fudge refused on principle (as he was not Harry's legal guardian), while Professor McGonagall reminded him that only a parent or guardian could give permission. At the beginning of the Christmas holidays, Harry managed to subvert the rules and get into Hogsmeade when Fred and George Weasley gave him the Marauder's Map. When Sirius Black gained entrance to Gryffindor Tower, having stolen the passwords to Sir Cadogan's painting from Neville Longbottom, Neville was banned from all future trips for the year.
Hogsmeade weekend trips established a lot of rule-breaking in Harry's time. Not only did he use his Invisibility Cloak (Deathly Hallow) and the Marauder's Map in 1993, but in 1995 Hermione Granger and he led the first Dumbledore's Army meeting in the Hog's Head, which coincidently is owned by Albus Dumbledore's brother, Aberforth.
Behind the scenes
- It is established in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban that only third years and above may go to Hogsmeade. But in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Colin Creevey's brother Dennis, a second year, attended the first meeting of Dumbledore's Army in the Hog's Head Inn.
