abstract
  • The Battle of the Astronomy Tower, also known as the Battle of the Lightning-Struck Tower, was a battle of the Second Wizarding War that took place in the topmost tower of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the evening of 30 June, 1997. It occurred by the design of Lord Voldemort, who had ordered sixteen-year-old Death Eater Draco Malfoy to find a way to sneak other Death Eaters into the school (which he did) and to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix (which he could not do). As the Order and the Death Eaters battled, Severus Snape killed Dumbledore, an act that was later discovered to have been planned between Dumbledore and Snape, since Dumbledore would soon afterwards have died after putting on a cursed ring which was one of Lord Voldemort's horcruxes (Marvolo Gaunt's ring).
