[edit] First Battle of Hogwarts

This page doesn't seem to be needed as Second Battle of Hogwarts has all the relevant information on this subject.

When was the First Battle of Hogwarts? Plumber
The "First battle of Hogwarts" is a term to refer to the battle of the Astronomy Tower (or Lightning Struck Tower) which resulted in Dumbledore's death. Lord Opeth 20:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is Dolohov dead?

Did Flitwick kill Dolohov or not? -Matoro183 (Talk) 13:23, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I think that he did not. He only fell with a scream. During the battle in the Department of Mysteries, Kingsley also fell with a scream at Bellatrix hands. Flitwick may have created a spell like the one Bellatrix used on Kingsley, or casted the Cruciatus Curse on Dolohov, or anything else; remember Flitwick was a duel champion.

[edit] List of known participants and Suvivors?

I think it could be interesting a list of people (by name) that batled and the ones who we known have survided.

Also, does anyone remeber if any Slytherins fought for Hogwarts side? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluelantern (talkcontribs).

At least Professor Slughorn fought for Hogwarts. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 06:29, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I believe that JK (in the recent PotterCast interview) mentioned that some Slytherins (none by name) returned with Slughorn at the end of the battle. JK said that Slytherins were pragmatic, with a greater sense of self-preservation, so left and returned with reinforcements. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 11:31, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Under combatants it says one giant participated. But didn't Grawp fight another giant? Gwenog Jones 20:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dumbledore's Demise

I have changed the description of Severus Snape's action resulting in the death of Albus Dumbkledore from "murdered" to "killed." It was made clear in "The Prince's Tale," and reiterated in the confrontation between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort that Snape's action was the result of an agreed-upon procedure between him and Dumbledore. "Murder" implies malicious intent; "kill" is neutral, and the act was, in effect, a mercy killing. ~~Squadron4959 24 January 2009

I completely agree with your edit. Since the release of DH, most articles on this wiki have used the term "killed" when discussing Snape's role in Dumbledore's death, but this instance seems to have been overlooked. It's probably a hangover from the time between HBP and DH when it was still uncertain which side Snape was serving. Starstuff (Owl me!) 15:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Death Eater support

Where is the proof that the Death Eaters were reinforced by Aurors and Ministry officials? Thicknesse being there means nothing, as he was under the Imperius Curse. Toon Ganondorf (t c) 11:16, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree. If this information cannot be verified, then it should be removed. Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Battle

Didn't the Battle of Hogwarts first start in the evening and draw to a close after midnight? I'm pretty sure it did, and if so surely the dates for the Battle of Hogwarts should be: May 2nd - May 3rd 1998

It officially started at midnight, per Voldemort's ultimatum to hand over Harry Potter, and ended at dawn with Voldemort's death. Nick O'Demus 03:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
