Description	A feast held at the last day of school term

The End-of-Term Feast (or Leaving Feast) was a traditional part of the school year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, held in the Great Hall.

History

The Great Hall decorated with Slytherin colours in 1992, before additional points were awarded to Gryffindor

It occurred on the last night of the term and had almost exactly the same dishes as the ones served at the Start-of-Term Feast. This Feast was notable for including the awarding of the House Cup to the house with the highest points. The house that won the House Cup would have the Great Hall decorated in their house colours. Although most of these feasts are very happy and exciting times, at the end of the 1994–1995 school year, the End-of-Term feast was subdued because of the death of Hufflepuff student Cedric Diggory.

Behind the scenes

• In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, most of the students are depicted as rising and applauding Hagrid after Harry Potter states that there's no Hogwarts without him. Some of the members of Slytherin house remain seated, including Snape, but the notoriously slow-witted Crabbe rises and begins to applaud, until Malfoy stops him.
