Welcoming Feast

From Harry Potter Wiki

The Welcoming Feast was and presumably is a traditional part of the school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, held in the Great Hall. Held on the first night following the arrival of the students on the Hogwarts Express, the Welcoming Feast was notable for including the Sorting of all new students into their houses.

The Welcoming Feast was also used to introduce new members of the faculty to the student body, and to pass out important announcements and messages concerning the new school year. This is usually done by the Headmaster. The Headmaster may also choose to say a few words during this time, such as in 1991, when Albus Dumbledore told the students, "Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!"

In Harry Potter's first year, the school song was sung after announcements were made. It was, however, not continued in the subsequent years.

[edit] Behind the scenes

In the film flim version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the Hogwarts Choir was seen singing the song Something Wicked This Way Comes conducted by Professor Flitwick, though it is not shown in the book itself.
