During 1994–1995 school year, Harry Potter received Minerva McGonagall's permission to enter the Restricted Section so he could research a way about being able to breathe underwater for an hour to compete in the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, but was unable to find anything useful from any of the books.
What is the point of the Restricted Section in Harry Potter?
The books within the Restricted Section typically discuss the Dark Arts or other information not for the general public or young children. They may be studied by older students for Defence Against the Dark Arts.
The third-floor corridor was out-of-bounds during the 1991–1992 school year due to the entrance to the Underground Chambers, in which the Philosopher's Stone was hidden, being there, guarded by Fluffy.
The Hogwarts Library was located off of a corridor on the first-floor of Hogwarts Castle and contained tens of thousands of books on thousands of shelves. Overseen by Madam Irma Pince, the library was where students could go to peruse or borrow books to supplement their studies (or for personal enjoyment).
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville first visit the corridor during Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, when they are running from Filch. Harry, Ron and Hermione later re-visit the corridor to go down the trapdoor in an attempt to thwart Voldemort's attempt to get the Philosopher's Stone.

Why do Harry and his friends end up in the Forbidden Corridor?
Suddenly, they hear Argus Filch, the school caretaker, and his cat, Mrs. Norris, enter the room. They begin to hide and then run away. Not sure where they are going, they accidentally end up in the forbidden area on the third floor, staring at a large and scary three-headed dog.
It suggested that Harry would have great fame and glory by joining Slytherin House, as Harry possessed Slytherin qualities such as cunning and determination.
Why aren't students allowed in the restricted section?
The Restricted Section was an area in the Hogwarts Library, closed off by a rope. Books in this section might have been rare, valuable, and/or considered inappropriate for younger students, thus why it was restricted.
However, it turned out that Krum had fancied Hermione for ages. He had been coming to the library every day to talk to her but had struggled to pluck up the courage to say anything.
The book screams because it's in the restricted section of the library, and Harry is breaking the rules by looking at it. I would expect all the books in that section to have some kind of protection spell to let the librarian know if they have been tampered with.
Why did Professor McGonagall take Harry to Oliver Wood after she saw Harry?
When Professor McGonagall takes Harry to Oliver Wood, it refers to a part of the story where she recognizes Harry's potential in Quidditch after an incident where Harry catches Neville's Remembrall while flying.
Malfoy told Harry to meet him at a certain place at midnight for the duel. However, Malfoy had no intention of dueling; instead, he informed Professor McGonagall about the planned meeting, hoping Harry would be caught and punished for being out of bed after hours.
Irrespective of its reach and influence over millions of people around the world, Harry Potter is still a children's book at heart; and it excels in the process of being one. Portraying teenagers in a realistic way at the expense of introducing swear words into younger children's vocabulary is not desirable.
Slytherin, a pure-blood loyalist, was against Muggle-born children being allowed to attend Hogwarts, but he was outnumbered by the other founders and Muggle-borns like Hermione were permitted as students.
The protective magic over Hogwarts appeared to repel even talented Dark wizards. Rubeus Hagrid claimed that Hogwarts was the safest place there was, even more so than Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a reason why the Philosopher's Stone was sent to the castle for protection.
During his pursuit of the Snitch, he was hit in the face by a Bludger which broke his nose and gave him two black eyes. However, he caught the Snitch and ended the match on his own terms.
We never do find out what happened to Fleur, but it is likely that Krum, under the same compulsion, disabled her as well. Barty, in the best Death Eater tradition, is trying to assure Harry's victory in the Task by eliminating his competition.
The restricted section of the Hogwarts library contains forbidden books, including ones on the Dark Arts and Horcruxes, which were removed after suspicions of Lord Voldemort's evil intentions.
There is a non-lethal option, you can dispatch enemies with Petrificus Totalus if you manage to sneak up behind them, but you're unlikely to clear a camp before a fight breaks out.
What magical gift did Harry Potter get for Christmas?
1991. Harry Potter and the Weasleys (Ron, Fred, George and Percy) were among the students to stay for the holidays in 1991. Among Harry's gifts that year was his father's Invisibility Cloak, given to him anonymously by Albus Dumbledore.
Hermione was a prominent example of this as, on the surface, she appeared like someone who would fit right into Ravenclaw. But beyond her interests, her values define her as someone with a take-charge personality and bravery to spare. Unlike Ravenclaws, she didn't apply knowledge in unique ways.
He actually asked the Sorting Hat to place him in Hufflepuff, as he was intimidated by Gryffindor's reputation for bravery, but the Sorting Hat didn't agree.
