The Hogwarts Gobstone Club is a recreational club at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, apparently distinct from the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.
In around the early 1940s, Eileen Prince was the President of the Hogwarts Gobstone Club,[1] as well as Captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones Team.[2]
The Gobstone Club was still active in the mid-1990s, when it was disbanded following the enactment of Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four by High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge. The members of the Club did, most likely, ask permission to re-form from Professor Umbridge, something Ron Weasley thought she would not oppose.[3]
