Java array, NullPointerException?

I declared two cards:

Card card1 = new Card('3', Card.Suit.clubs);
Card card2 = new Card('T', Card.Suit.diamonds);

This works:

Hand hand1 = new Hand();

hand1.takeCard(card1);

But why does this not work? It gives me a NullPointerException on second line:

Hand[] hand = new Hand[2];

hand[0].takeCard(card2);

You are declaring an array of 2 hands. This is just setting up the array. You then need to instantiate the hand objects inside the array.

Say 

hand[0] = new Hand(); 
hand[1] = new Hand();
