located a block or so off High Street, the hog's head inn has been a fixture of hogsmeade for hundreds of years. a worn-out wooden sign hangs over the door, advertising with a "wild boar's severed head leaking blood onto the white cloth around it". it's known for its cheapness, at least relative to the three broomsticks down the street, and attracts a "shall we say... interesting clientele.

a "tiny, dark platform" where the hogwarts express ends its journey north from platform nine-and-three-quarters. the station is located near the lake, and from there a road extends around the lake to hogwarts castle. the station is actually quite a distance from the town itself, being on the opposite side of the hogwarts grounds.

a well-known inn and a frequent haunt of hogwarts students. It's warm and comfortable, is packed, and is a great spot to drink butterbeer, although they also serve firewhisky, gillywater, mulled mead, red currant rum, and even cherry syrup and soda with ice and an umbrella. Run by Madam ____ ____.
