Feb. 10th, 2013 12:41 pmI'm sure everyone had a charming day yesterday at Hogsmeade. After a bracing walk over, I finished a spot of shopping and had a nice butterbeer.
I've been thinking about how exciting Hogsmeade day is, how mythic the shops are in our minds. The shops in New London are generally bigger and better stocked than those in Hogsmeade, but I don't hear third years talking about them with the same hushed awe as those in Hogsmeade. Is it because we can only go a few times a year, because it's always a group activity, a drawing ley-line running from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade or something even more fantastic?
