The Easter break is mentioned in several of the books, most notably in GOF  
when Hermione receives an Easter egg noticeably smaller than the ones that Mrs. 
 Weasley sent to Ron and Harry. In the books, the break is shorter than the  
Christmas one and is often mentioned only as a preparation/panic time 
regarding  end of the year exams. One exception is in OotP when the twins mention that 
they  have been quiet lately as there was no point in causing trouble for 
Umbridge if  there was no one around to see it.
