The Great Corn Maze
As the air cools and the leaves change color, Hogwarts changes as well. To the side of the castle, a vast field is suddenly filled with professors and Hogwarts staff, and corn. Corn grows further than the eye of a third-year can see, and every waits in anticipation for Hogwarts' corn maze to open. In the meantime, students still watch excitedly as the Great Corn Maze is assembled and readied!
