Hogsmeade Village
One of the two shopping districts in the theme park, the quaint all-wizarding settlement is dotted with thatched cottages and medieval buildings. Lined on either sides of the village's main thoroughfare, High Street, are many shops and establishments, including:
Off the beaten path of High Street would be smaller lanes with places such as:
Rumbling along High Street would be carriages, all lacquered in black and bearing the Hogwarts coat-of-arms on their doors. A coachman is perched on the driving seat in front of each carriage, though the coaches do not appear to be hitched to anything. When the passengers are safely within the carriage, the coachman would activate a silent motor that powers the carriage into motion. This gives the impression of the coaches being drawn by invisible steed.
These carriages can be hailed from any point along High Street and some of the smaller lanes branching out from the main thoroughfare. They would take passengers to anywhere within the village, or even all the way into Hogwarts School.
- Gringotts Wizarding Bank - tucked away in a corner, the white building would not be in plain sight from the street, but tenacious shoppers, determined to obtain wizarding currency, would have little problems locating it.
- Owl Post Office - the office of a postal system that utilises owls to deliver mail. Registration for a local courier and messaging service is also available here.
- The Three Broomsticks - the narrow shop front belying its spacious interior, the welcoming inn is famed for its delicious butterbeer and attractive owner, Madam Rosmerta.
- Zonko's Joke Shop - a novelties store filled with delightfully bizarre tools and tricks for the intrepid prankster. The salespeople in the shop, all former street magicians, would tease and entertain the customers by using the merchandise to put on impromptu magic shows.
- Dervish & Banges - here one can purchase magical equipment, enchanted by the latest technology :) Customers would also be treated to spectacular light shows as items sent in for repair act up and go wild.
- Gladrags Wizardwear - a boutique full of quirky clothes and fabrics for the unconventional witch or wizard. Merchandise include strange and unusual socks.
- Scrivenshaft's Quill Shop - a stationary shop offering a wide and eclectic range of wizarding writing materials, such as quills made from real bird feathers, colour-changing ink, calfskin parchment, red Howler envelopes, as well as intricately crafted signets and seals.
- Honeydukes Sweetshop - a confectionery selling wizarding sweets like Chocolate Frogs, Liquorice Wands, Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Fizzing Whizzbees, Toothflossing Stringmints and Sugar Quills. Customers might discover a trapdoor in its cellar and follow the hidden passageway to end up on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle.
Off the beaten path of High Street would be smaller lanes with places such as:
- Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop - a frilly themed store that employs all sorts of cloyingly saccharine romantic gimmicks to amuse customers, such as getting floating golden cherubs to throw pink confetti on visiting couples.
- The Hog's Head - a rather seedy pub with bizarrely attired characters lurking about where less-mainstream refreshments could be had. Rooms above the taproom could be rented for clandestine meetings.
- Shrieking Shack - on the outskirts of the village, it would be a haunted house, where horrors await visitors at every turn, culminating in a room where a man painfully changes into a werewolf. In a room on the ground floor is an entrance to a hidden tunnel that leads to the base of the Whomping Willow in the Forbidden Forest.
