Hogwarts Second Year

This article covers information about the second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A student in their second year at Hogwarts was called a second-year (with a hyphen). Second-years were typically 12 to 13 years of age. The second year was the first year in which students rode up to the castle in carriages pulled by Thestrals.
==Overall==
===Classes===
Second-year students took Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Herbology.
The second year was the first time when students were allowed to try out for their house Quidditch teams. A rare exception to this was when Harry Potter was allowed to join the house Quidditch team during his first year due to his exceptional skills. Like first-years, second-years were not allowed to accompany those in the third year or above to Hogsmeade village for the weekend trips, however, they were allowed to have their own broom inside the school grounds.
In the second year, students chose to study at least two elective subjects for their third year to fifth year; these subject options were Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures.
