Remembrall '98: Hermione Granger

Congratulations, Hogwarts Class of 1998! Please reflect on your experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by answering some questions about your time at this esteemed institution.

Name: Hermione J. Granger

Favorite Memory: I have so many wonderful memories! I don’t think I could pick just one favorite. I really enjoyed going back to Hogwarts to finish up my final year and my education. I also really liked some of the simpler moments like reading and chatting with friends in the chairs by the fire in the common room.

Favorite Class: My favorite class was Arithmancy; I took it starting in my third year and continued through the rest of my education.

Least Favorite Class: Divination – I now have respect for the subject. However, it was just never for me. I prefer something more concrete with less guesswork. For instance, Arithmancy has a similar undertone and is far more logical.

Favorite Teacher: Oh, good question! I had so many wonderful professors; some of my favorites were Professor Vector, McGonagall, Lupin, and of course Hagrid!

Least Favorite Teacher: Professor Umbridge, if you could even call her a professor!

What advice would you give to first years? Take action for the things you believe in! You can make a difference. That and read Hogwarts: A History.

What would you change about your time at Hogwarts? I do not think I would change much. Some things certainly did not go as planned; however, I think the experiences and challenges that we faced helped shape who we are now. In addition, they furthered both the magical and non-magical communities.

Favorite Reading Spot at Hogwarts: I would have to say my favorite places to read are in the library, by the fire in the common room, and weather permitting, outside by the Black Lake.

Most Underrated Part of Hogwarts: The house-elves – they are both underrated and underappreciated. If more students knew who’s doing the cooking and cleaning in the castle, I think they would feel differently and would be a lot more grateful.

Best Gift for Hogwarts Students: A homework planner!

Remembrall '98: Harry Potter

Congratulations, Hogwarts Class of 1998! Please reflect on your experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by answering some questions about your time at this esteemed institution.

Name: Harry James Potter

Favorite Memory: Finding out I was a wizard is, to this day, the best memory I have.

Favorite Class: My favorite class has always been Defense Against the Dark Arts, despite the constant change to the professor.

Least Favorite Class: My least favorite class was Divination – I never saw much.

Favorite Teacher: My favorite professor was Professor McGonagall. She was always supportive of me, even if she was a bit stern.

Least Favorite Teacher: The worst professor was Umbridge, if you count her as a professor.

Who is a classmate that you wish you got to know more during your time at Hogwarts? I think getting more familiar with any Slytherins could have been nice, especially during the war. It’s a shame they felt like our enemies and I wish I had done more to change that.

What were your go-to snacks? Pumpkin pasties!

What Hogwarts professor do you wish was head of your House? I wouldn’t trade Professor McGonagall for the world.

What would you change about your time at Hogwarts? If I could have spent more time in class or on the Quidditch pitch and less time having to save the world, that would’ve been great!

Remembrall '98: Neville Longbottom

Congratulations, Hogwarts Class of 1998! Please reflect on your experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by answering some questions about your time at this esteemed institution. Name: Neville Longbottom

Favorite Memory: Dumbledore’s Army. It was the first time that I felt I could really try to push myself to succeed. It was also one of the things that helped keep me safe and alive in my seventh year.

Favorite Class: Herbology, definitely Herbology. It is still my favorite subject.

Least Favorite Class: Potions

Favorite Teacher: My favorite was Professor Sprout. I am considering asking if I can co-teach Herbology with her or maybe take over when she retires. I want to try to inspire and encourage others the way she did me.

Least Favorite Teacher: Professor Snape

Favorite Place at Hogwarts: The greenhouses! I can say that they are still my favorite place.

Best Place for An Early Morning Stroll: To the owlery and down into the grounds, behind the greenhouses, and back. If timed right, you should be able to walk right into breakfast.

What club do you wish Hogwarts would have had? A Herbology club. Something for those who are interested to learn more about the subject outside of the curriculum.

What advice would you give to first years? Find your passion and believe in yourself. Oh, and watch out for the trick stair, Peeves, Sir Cadogan, the Bloody Baron, and any trolls in the dungeons. Plus, if you are missing your toad, check under your bed.

What would you change about your time at Hogwarts? I would change the way I approached everything. Looking back now, I wish that I had believed in myself earlier. I would also have stood up for and advocated for myself earlier and with more confidence.

Remembrall '98: Blaise Zabini

Congratulations, Hogwarts Class of 1998! Please reflect on your experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by answering some questions about your time at this esteemed institution.

Name: Blaise Zabini

Favorite Memory: Playing Quidditch

Favorite Class: Potions

Least Favorite Class: Divination

Favorite Teacher: Horace Slughorn

Least Favorite Teacher: Trelawney or that half-breed Hagrid. At least Trelawney got to live in the castle.

Favorite Place Indoors at Hogwarts: The dungeons, or near the windows of the Slytherin common room looking out into the depths of the lake. Every once in a while if you’re lucky, something might be looking back.

Favorite Place Outdoors at Hogwarts: The Quidditch pitch or the solemn areas around the Black Lake

Best Pet to Bring to Hogwarts:  An owl. As a result, you will have no need for the commonly used school owls… They are both useful and proud creatures.

Favorite Wizard Chess Piece: The king

Favorite Hogwarts Weekend Activity: I was partial to a Hogsmeade visit or a walk around the Black Lake.

What was your favorite place to visit during Hogsmeade weekends? My favorite was the High Street for a walk through the shops or the Three Broomsticks for a drink.

What advice would you give to first years? Don’t worry about what others say; you know your own self-worth.

Did you ever sneak out of your common room at night, and if so, where did you go? I might have – I might have not; but if I did or did not, would I tell you? My business is my own.

What would you change about your time at Hogwarts as a whole? I would change how disruptive things got. We all knew who was on the right side of things, so the disruption wasn’t worth the time and effort.

Remembrall '98: Draco Malfoy

Congratulations, Hogwarts Class of 1998!  Please reflect on your experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry by answering some questions about your time at this esteemed institution.

Name: Draco Lucius Malfoy

Favorite Memory: Making Slytherin’s Quidditch team as a second year.

Favorite Class: My favorite class was Potions, by far.

Least Favorite Class: My least favorite class was probably Care of Magical Creatures, which could have been better with a different professor.

Favorite Teacher: The best professor at Hogwarts is Professor Snape, though having him around all the time was a bit of a pain.

Least Favorite Teacher: My least favorite professor was Hagrid; how that oaf landed a teaching job is beyond me.

Who is a classmate that you wish you got to know more during your time at Hogwarts? Hermione Granger – not that I’d want to be friends, but we have similar ambitions.

What were your go-to snacks? Anything my mum owled to me – she orders the best pastries!

Advice to first years: Lie low and avoid drawing too much attention to yourself – earn your spot in the limelight.

What Hogwarts professor do you wish was head of your House? I’ll never admit I said this, but Professor McGonagall. She reminds me a lot of my mum.

What would you change about your time at Hogwarts? I wish I would have spent a bit more time on my classwork, rather than focusing on Potter and his gang.
