Letter regarding change of time and venue of the hearingĬornelius Fudge, then- Minister for Magic, was attempting to discredit Harry and Dumbledore's claims about the return of Lord Voldemort, and so he changed the hearing to an earlier time (8 am) and a different location ( Courtroom Ten) in the hopes of making Harry miss it, as well as trying Harry in front of the entire Wizengamot.
However, after Albus Dumbledore's intervention, the expulsion was retracted and changed to a disciplinary hearing which would take place ten days later, on 12 August at 9 am, at the British Ministry of Magic's headquarters, before the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement Amelia Bones was in her office.
