Hogwarts was a deathtrap. Each of the four years he had been at Hogwarts, he had almost been killed at least once every year. Harry’s betrothed, Hermione, had almost been killed twice, in first year and second year, and had been put in danger of drowning in fourth year. Last year, Gabrielle Delacour, who was only eight years old, had been put in danger of drowning. During Harry’s second year, a basilisk had slithered through the school; it had been only by incredible luck that students had been only petrified, not killed.
