Hogwarts Graduation Ceremony

This ceremony was a yearly ritual performed at the end of the school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The graduating seventh-year students left the castle in a poetic and symbolic way, as they left via the enchanted boats that had taken them to Hogwarts prior to the start of their first year."PotterCast Interviews J.K.

==Behind the scenes==
*The graduation ceremony was, ever since J. K. Rowling first planned the series, going to be excluded from last instalment, as it would be an "absurd anticlimax". Although omitted from the series, Rowling always imagined it as a crossing of the Lake via the enchanted boats, a throwback to the students' first year at school and a "return to [their] innocence".
