The Seventh Year contains the most important exams given at Hogwarts — the [[N.E.W.T.]]s. Students conclude their [[N.E.W.T.]] level studies in the seventh year, at the end of which they sit the [[N.E.W.T.]] exam pertaining to each of their subjects. A student in the Seventh Year would have the same schedule he or she had in the [[Sixth Year]], and would sit only those classes in which they received [[O.W.L.]]s meeting the minimum requirement of the professor for that subject. However, not all students take [[N.E.W.T.]]s as some occupations require only [[O.W.L.]]s.

==Battle Of Hogwarts - Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts([[1997]])==
  
  +
* [[J. K. Rowling]] said in an interview that there is some form of graduation ceremony for seventh years that includes riding the [[Hogwarts boats]] back across the lake as they leave, but that she chose not to include it in ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'', as "to have a graduation scene on top of what just happened would've been an absurd bit of anti-climax."<ref>[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2007/1217-pottercast-anelli.html PotterCast Interviews J.K. Rowling, December 2007]</ref>

[[Harry Potter]], [[Ron Weasley]], and [[Hermione Granger]] [[Apparition|apparated]] into the main street of the village of [[Hogsmeade]] while wearing Harry's [[invisibility cloak]] and were immediately detected by a group of [[Death Eaters]] due to the fact that they had triggered a Cauterwauling Charm. They all tried to apparate but they had been trapped because they had been bound by an anti-apparation charm. The [[Death Eaters]] tried to reveal their whereabouts by [[Accio|summoning]] the [[invisibility cloak]]. The cloak however refused to be moved due to the fact that it was the cloak of legend from [[The Tale of the Three Brothers]]. The [[Death Eaters]] then sent [[Dementors]] to locate [[Harry]] so he had to produce a [[patronus]] to send them away. [[Aberforth Dumbledore]] then hid them in the [[Hog's Head]] while he told the [[Death Eaters]] that he had produced the [[patronus]]. and had set off the Cauterwauling Charm by letting his cat out. [[Aberforth Dumbledore]] led [[Harry]], [[Ron]] and [[Hermione]] to a secret passage from his pub to the [[Room of Requirement]] where members of [[Dumbledore's Army]] had been hiding all year. [[Neville Longbottom]] came out of the passage and took them to [[Hogwarts]].
  
  +
* [[J. K. Rowling]] also stated in the same interview that although Harry, Ron, and Hermione skipped their seventh year to [[Horcrux hunt|hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes]], Hermione went back to Hogwarts to get her [[Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test|N.E.W.T.s]] and properly graduate. Harry and Ron, however, did not return, and instead worked with [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] to round up stray [[Death Eaters]].

*In another interview, [[J. K. Rowling]] has stated that [[Marcus Flint]] had to repeat his seventh year, due to failing his N.E.W.T.s the first time around<ref>[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2000/0200-scholastic-chat.htm Online chat transcript, Scholastic.com, 3 February 2000]</ref><ref name="Official Site">[http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=16 Rowling's Official Site (text only), accessed 25th July 2011]</ref>..

====Arrival at Hogwarts====
  
  +
*By ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]'' Chapter 26, ''Gringotts'', the Gryffindor 7th Year Boys dormitory was empty; Harry and Ron were out searching for [[Horcrux]]es, Dean was in hiding, and Neville and Seamus were in the [[Room of Requirement]].<ref>[http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=16 J.K.Rowling Official Site F.A.Q.]</ref>

When [[Neville]] arrived at the [[Room of Requirement]] with [[Harry Potter]], [[Hermione Granger]] and [[Ron Weasley]], all the members of [[Dumbledore's Army]] who were hiding from the Carrows and Snape thought they had come back to fight the [[Death Eaters]] and [[Voldemort]] so they sent messages to many other former [[Hogwarts]] students, including many original members of [[Dumbledore's Army]]. [[Harry]] however informed them that they had come to search Hogwarts for [[Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem]] and that [[Lord Voldemort ]]was on the way to try and stop them.

====Uprising====
  
−
The trio split up once they had entered [[Hogwarts]]. [[Ron Weasley]] and [[Hermione Granger]] travelled down into the [[Chamber of Secrets]] to obtain [[Basilisk venom]] filled fangs in order to destroy [[Helga Hufflepuff's Cup]] and any future Horcruxes that are found, while [[Harry]] went with [[Luna Lovegood]] to the [[Ravenclaw Common Room]] to have a look at a statue of [[Rowena Ravenclaw]] wearing her [[Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem|diadem]]. [[Alecto Carrow]], the [[Muggle Studies]] teacher and [[Death Eater]], appeared while the two were searching the room, but [[Luna Lovegood]] neutralised her. [[Minerva McGonagall]] arrived and summoned the other Heads of Houses. She then engaged in a fierce duel with [[Severus Snape]] and moments later [[Filius Flitwick]] and [[Pomona Sprout]] showed up, the three succeeded in driving [[Severus Snape]] away. The students and staff gathered in the [[Great Hall]] as the rest of the [[Death Eaters]] arrived at the gates, accompanied by [[Lord Voldemort]] himself.
  
−  
−
[[Hogwarts]] was fortified for the coming attack. [[Order of the Phoenix]] members arrived, also summoned by [[Neville Longbottom]]. Students old enough to fight stayed and younger students were evacuated by [[Poppy Pomfrey]] and [[Argus Filch]]. [[Filius Flitwick]], [[Minerva McGonagall]] and [[Pomona Sprout]] took groups of students to the tallest towers while [[Arthur Weasley]], [[Remus Lupin]] and [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]] took others onto the Grounds. [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and [[George Weasley]] defended Hogwarts secret passages.

[[Voldemort]] magically magnified his voice so it was heard throughout [[Hogwarts]] and [[Hogsmeade]] to give those inside the castle the chance to hand [[Harry Potter]] over to him or his army of [[Death Eaters]] and dark creatures would attack. When [[Pansy Parkinson]] suggested that they take the deal, practically every student, excluding the [[Slytherin]] students, in the hall threatened to curse her, and she was instructed to leave by [[Minerva McGonagall]]. Those not willing to fight or not of age(older than 17 years) were sent out of the school through the [[Hog's Head]], particularly the students of [[Slytherin]] (who were sent out first).
  
−  
−
[[Hogwarts]] was able to fend off the [[Death Eaters]] using an array of tactics, including [[mandrake|mandrakes]] and magical plants, bewitched armored suits, and wand duels. The [[Death Eaters]] stormed [[Hogwarts]], however, with the aid of the [[Acromantulas]], [[Giants]], [[Aurors]] and [[Ministry of Magic]] officials. It was in this part of the battle that [[Fred Weasley]], [[Remus Lupin]] and [[Nymphadora Tonks]] were killed by [[Death Eaters]].

I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour... I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you... I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me.

−
Using his connection with [[Voldemort]]'s mind, [[Harry Potter]] uncovered [[Voldemort]]'s whereabouts in the [[Shrieking Shack]]. It was there that [[Harry Potter]] witnessed [[Voldemort]] order [[Nagini]] to murder [[Severus Snape]], believing that unless [[Severus Snape]] was killed by him, he would not gain mastery over the [[Elder wand]]. Snape's dying act was to pass on several of his memories to [[Harry]]. At this point, [[Voldemort]] ordered an hour-long ceasefire, with the request that [[Harry Potter]] be turned over to his custody. If they did not turn him over, [[Voldemort]] declared he would personally enter the battle.
  
−  
−
After viewing Snape's memories which revealed that Harry himself was, in fact, a [[Horcrux]] and that he needed to be killed for [[Lord Voldemort]] to die, [[Harry]] went into the [[Forbidden Forest]] to sacrifice himself. Before doing so, he used the [[Resurrection Stone]] to bring back his parents, [[Sirius Black]], and Remus Lupin for emotional support. Due to Voldemort's use of Harry's blood in the process of creating himself a new body in [[1995]] in the graveyard of [[Little Hangleton]], Harry survived the [[Killing Curse]] from [[Voldemort]], although he was briefly knocked unconscious.
  
−  
−
In those unconscious moments, [[Harry]] spoke to the spirit of [[Albus Dumbledore]], who explained that the bit of [[Voldemort]]'s soul inside of [[Harry]] was gone, and he could choose to go back to the world of the living or go on into the world of the dead. [[Harry]] accepted the choice to return, and feigned death while [[Voldemort]]'s forces cheered in assumed victory.

After waking, Harry discovers that Voldemort had also been unconscious during those brief moments. Voldemort suffered an additional betrayal when [[Narcissa Malfoy]] volunteered to confirm that Harry was dead, when she truly only wanted to get close enough to him to ask if her son, [[Draco Malfoy]] was still alive. Upon learning of Draco's survival, Narcissa lied to the Dark Lord, saying that Harry Potter was in fact dead. After [[Rubeus Hagrid]] carried Harry's "corpse" back to Hogwarts, guided by the Death Eaters walking in a victory march, [[Neville Longbottom]] openly defied Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord placed a spell on Neville, freezing him to the spot, placed the [[Sorting Hat]] atop his head, and set it aflame.
 
−  
−
The [[Centaurs]] and [[Grawp]] then attacked the [[Death Eaters]], giving [[Harry]] time to disappear under his [[Invisibility Cloak]] in the confusion. [[Neville]] broke free of Voldemort's curse and pulled [[Godric Gryffindor|Godric Gryffindor's]] sword from the Sorting Hat. In one stroke, Neville used the blade to behead Nagini, thus destroying the last of Voldemort's Horcruxes and rendering him mortal. [[Voldemort]], alongside his now weakened army, forced his way into [[Hogwarts]].
  
−  
−
Additional [[Hogwarts]] allies arrived at this time: Legions of knife-wielding [[house-elf|house-elves]] led by [[Kreacher]]; the residents of [[Hogsmeade]] and the friends and families of every remaining student, all led by [[Charlie Weasley]] and [[Professor Slughorn]]. A flock of [[Thestrals]] led by [[Buckbeak]], and the Centaurs also threw themselves into the battle.
  
−  
−
In the midst of all the chaos, [[Harry]], hidden under the [[Cloak of Invisibility]], was buffeted into the [[Great Hall]]. Outnumbered and surrounded by people and creatures from both sides, the [[Death Eaters]] were cut down or run off by the forces of Hogwarts until only [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] and [[Lord Voldemort]] remained. [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] was killed by [[Molly Weasley]], with whom she briefly dueled. [[Voldemort]] was furious at the loss of his best and last lieutenant, but Harry cast a [[Shield Charm]] between [[Molly Weasley]] and [[Voldemort]] before the latter could raise his wand. [[Harry]] then revealed himself to the survivors, giving them hope again.
  
−  
−
The cheering crowd retreated to the walls of the hall and watched then as the two great nemises, [[Lord Voldemort]] and [[Harry Potter]], bantered and circled each other. [[Harry]] revealed to [[Voldemort]] that [[Severus Snape]] had always been a spy for [[Dumbledore]], ever since [[Voldemort]] threatened [[Lily Evans|Lily Potter]]'s life. Harry also revealed that [[Severus Snape]] was never the true master of the [[Elder Wand]]. It had been [[Draco Malfoy]] that was the rightful master, and that Harry had defeated Malfoy weeks ago, thereby gaining the allegiance of the Elder Wand.
  
−  
−  
−
[[Harry]] dared [[Voldemort]] to feel remorse, to which [[Voldemort]] instantly responded by casting a [[Killing Curse]] with the [[Elder Wand]]. [[Harry]] simultaneously cast his own [[Expelliarmus]] spell using [[Draco Malfoy]]'s wand. However, because the [[Elder Wand]] rightfully belonged to [[Harry]], the [[Killing Curse]] rebounded at [[Voldemort]] and ended his life once and for all. [[The Second Wizarding War]] had ended with a decisive victory for the [[Order of the Phoenix]] and [[Dumbledore's Army]].

Percy Weasley - Gryffindor Head Boy in 1993

A seventh year is a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who is in their seventh and final year of formal magical education. Seventh years are usually seventeen to eighteen years of age.

The seventh year contains the most important exams given at Hogwarts — the N.E.W.T.s. Students conclude their N.E.W.T. level studies in the seventh year, at the end of which they sit the N.E.W.T. exam pertaining to each of their subjects. A student in the seventh year would have the same schedule he or she had in the sixth year, and would sit only those classes in which they received O.W.L.s meeting the minimum requirement of the professor for that subject. However, not all students take N.E.W.T.s as some occupations require only O.W.L.s.

Every year, a male and female seventh year student are appointed Head Boy and Head Girl respectively by the Headmaster (or Headmistress).
