Accio Goblet!

Writing Zoe's latest post has reminded me that, although the dates for the OWLs and NEWTs will be indicated on the next plot post, it might be helpful for your characters if you already have them at hand. At this point, the students would have been informed of the dates of their exams by the professors, and the information would also be posted on the common rooms' noticeboards as a reminder.

( The dates. )

As a small note, with the exception of the Astronomy exam (date TBA because I only now realized it's missing from my notes *bows head in shame*) the theoretical side of the exams will take place in the mornings (NEWTs at 8 o'clock, OWLs at 10) with the practical side in the afternoons at specific places. Beauxbatons students will only take the practical side of their NEWTs because of the way their Theoretiques and Practiques work, while those from Durmstrang will do the lot. Also, sixth years have no exams and will have their classes as usual, with occasional free periods when a teacher's class clashes with the scheduling of an exam.

Any questions or suggestions? This list can still be changed if necessary (as can Zoe's mention of the first OWL in her post), though you should keep in mind that the final day of exams is also the day of the Third Task, and so nothing can happen beyond that date.
