When a Villain or Dark Arts effect and a Hogwarts card both happen in one turn, which resolves first?

The rulebook sets Villain abilities before Hogwarts cards; the order of other simultaneous triggers is not in the rulebook and is disputed.

Villain and Dark Arts effects come first, because Step 2 (Villains) happens before Step 3 (your cards). So a stun from a Villain takes effect before a token from a card you play, such as Protego. The rules say nothing about the order of other simultaneous triggers, so treat those as unsettled.
