Graduation ceremony

The graduation ceremony is a yearly ritual performed at the end of the school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The graduate seventh year students leave the Castle in a poetic and symbolic way, as they leave via the enchanted boats that took them to Hogwarts prior to the start of their first year.

Behind the scenes

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