An Hallowe'en Feast

The Hallowe'en feast at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry occurred on 31 October every year. It was festooned with confectionery-filled pumpkins, apples, black cauldrons of big lollipops, carrot cake, bats, orange streamers, goblets of coloured sweets, possibly Pumpkin juice, and all sorts of Hallowe'en-related decorations. There was always some entertainment at the end, which might be by the Hogwarts ghosts who popped out of the walls and did formation gliding. It was a highly anticipated feast which most Hogwarts students looked forward to every year.
==History==
===1990s===
In 1991, the feast was interrupted by Professor Quirrell, who came in screaming that there was a troll in the dungeons before fainting. In reality, the mountain troll had been secretly let in by Quirrell under Lord Voldemort's orders. The feast was cut short and all the students had to finish it in their common rooms, while the teachers went to find the troll. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley went off to find and inform Hermione Granger about it in the bathroom and ran into the troll.In 1992, it was rumoured that Albus Dumbledore had booked a band of skeletons to play there. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger did not attend the feast. As such, Argus Filch believed that they were involved with the Petrification of his cat, Mrs Norris, which occurred on the same night since they were not at the feast with all the other students.
==Behind the scenes==
*In the first book, when Professor Quirrell reports that a troll is in the dungeons, Dumbledore tasks all prefects with leading the students back to the Common Rooms. In the GBA version, he tells everyone to stay in the Great Hall and specifically asks Gryffindor Prefect Percy Weasley to guard the door. Ron and Harry have to get past him when leaving the hall on their way to save Hermione Granger from the troll.
