Location from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
The only entirely wizarding village in Britain, nestled near Hogwarts and visited by students on weekends, famous for the Three Broomsticks pub, Honeydukes sweet shop, and Zonko's joke shop.
Hogsmeade is freedom. For third-years and above with a signed permission slip, a Hogsmeade weekend means escape from the castle, butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, and the kind of sugar consumption that would alarm a dentist. Honeydukes alone is worth the walk — Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Ice Mice, Pepper Imps, and things that are probably not legal in the Muggle world. The Three Broomsticks is warm and crowded and serves excellent butterbeer courtesy of Madam Rosmerta. The Hog's Head, run by Dumbledore's brother Aberforth, is the disreputable alternative — dirty, quiet, and the birthplace of Dumbledore's Army. The village also connects to Hogwarts through secret passages, most notably the one behind the one-eyed witch statue that leads to Honeydukes' cellar.
A picturesque village of thatched-roof cottages and small shops dusted with snow in winter, its main street winding between the Three Broomsticks, Honeydukes, Zonko's Joke Shop, the Hog's Head, Dervish and Banges, Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop, and Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. Hogwarts students in scarves and cloaks crowd the street on weekend visits, clutching bags of sweets and bottles of butterbeer. Smoke rises from every chimney.
