text: The retrieval of the memory of the Death Eaters trial suggestively presents the trial as a moment that renders transgression visible – a transgression that is repressed by the conscious – but simultaneously demonstrates the reestablishment of order through the punishment of the defendants.

The memory of this moment is in fact a menace to institutional order because it suggests its fragility and reminds Hogwartians of the ever-present possibility of transgression.
