Harry Potter Harry Potter Enhanced

[Schema]

When the issue of magically significant dates came up, more specifically for Harry's fourth year, for the Tri-Wizard Tournament, I had to question, why have the first task on the Autumn Equinox?

The lighting of the Goblet actually happened right before Halloween and the name drawing happened the day of in canon- so why not just move up the Champion Selection from October to September, put the first task on Halloween, the Yule Ball could work for either Christmas day or the Winter Solstice, putting the second task on the Spring Equinox and the third task on the Summer Solstice.

Jorlem, you were wrong on one detail, however. June 21st, the day of the Summer Solstice, is the LONGEST day of the year, when light overtakes darkness. December 21st, the day of the Winter Solistice, is the SHORTEST day of the year, when light recedes and darkness becomes dominant. At least, in the Northern Hemisphere, where Britain, Scotland and Hogwarts, subsequently are.

Ah, but not only is the Summer Solstice the Day Light is at its strongest, but it also marks the day where Lights begins to fade to darkness, a slow entrenchment and steady march from Light to Darkness. It marks the passing from Times of Lightening to time of Darkening.

Which would work brilliantly well with the first part on the fall equinox, foretelling the swing in balance from light times to dark times, but for the moment balanced.
