[2] Hogsmeade Village

"The only entirely non-Muggle settlement in Britain."

—Description of the village.

***

INTRODUCTION:

Hogsmeade Village, or simply called Hogsmeade, is the only all-wizarding village in Britain. It was founded by Hengist of Woodcroft who was in Hufflepuff. Hogsmeade is a picturesque little village of cottages and shops, with enchanted candles hanging in the trees during the holidays. It is also near the location of the train station used by the Hogwarts Express.

LOCATION:

Somewhere in the Highlands of Scotland, Great Britain. Just like Hogwarts, it is cleverly disguised to keep it protected from unwanted Muggle intruders.

CONNECTION TO HOGWARTS:

Since before 1714, Hogwarts third years and above have been permitted weekend trips into the village. Mainly, students frequent the High Street in the village which contains the named specialty shops and pubs such as Zonko's Joke Shop and Honeydukes. Otherwise, they wander on to observe the infamous Shrieking Shack.

PASSAGES TO THE VILLAGE FROM HOGWARTS:

1. Hogwarts third-floor corridor to Honeydukes cellar: To enter this passage from Hogwarts, one needs to tap on the statue of the one-eyed witch in the third floor corridor and say "Dissendium." It leads to a trap door in the floor of the Honeydukes cellar. Unknown to Filch, this passage was discovered somehow by James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, who included it on the Marauder's Map; Fred and George Weasley then used it extensively, and eventually taught Harry Potter how to get through it as well.

2. Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack: When Remus Lupin came to Hogwarts as a werewolf, this passageway was built (and the Whomping Willow planted) to give him a place to go when he transformed every full moon. The tunnel is accessed by prodding a knot on the trunk of the Whomping Willow, and it leads to the basement of the Shrieking Shack.

3. The Room of Requirement to the Hog's Head Inn: A secret passage that "opened" in 1998 to allow renegade Hogwarts students who were in hiding to access food. Though the door is in plain sight in the Room of Requirement, the passageway can only be accessed from the Hog's Head through the portrait of Ariana Dumbledore on the second floor of the inn.

4. A secret passageway behind the mirror on the fourth floor: Fred and George Weasley used this passageway, also unknown to Filch, extensively until it caved in c. winter 1992.

5. Four secret passageways that Filch knows about: Not all of these passages necessarily lead to Hogsmeade, though most of them probably do. Regardless, nobody can use them, because Filch keeps watch over them. One of these is behind a statue of Gregory the Smarmy.

NOTES FROM THE ADMINS:

•According to tradition, Hogsmeade was founded over a thousand years ago, around the same time as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, by medieval wizard Hengist of Woodcroft as he was fleeing persecution by Muggles.

•In 1612 a goblin rebellion took place in the vicinity of the village. Hogsmeade served as the wizards' headquarters during the rebellion.

•In November 1926, The Daily Prophet reported that Hogsmeade would play host to the first ever Magical Waterplants Festival.

•In all film adaptations to date, Hogsmeade has been shown as a small snowy roof-topped array of shops. According to Harry Potter Film Wizardry, the set designers made the decision that Hogsmeade is "permanently above the snow line".

•There is a recreation of Hogsmeade Village at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida.

•Use of magic in Hogsmeade is regulated by certain unspecified spell limits.
