The Shrieking Shack is the most important Hogsmeade structure in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
He also is chilled by the sight of Dementors patrolling Hogsmeade. Harry sees posters, almost reminiscent of something from an old Western movie, warning people to be inside by sunset. Harry’s clandestine trips to Hogsmeade also alert him to the vigilant search for Black. While concealed, Harry overhears conversations at the Three Broomsticks between adult wizards about Black’s alleged betrayal of his parents, which infuriate Harry, who vows vengeance. But eventually, through the use of the Marauder’s Map and Invisibility Cloak, Harry identifies the correct statue (a hunchback which foreshadows future physical discomfort for Harry) to enter and travels through underground tunnels to reach the basement of Honeydukes, the candy store in Hogsmeade. Harry is not allowed to go to the village because of concerns regarding Black. Special Hogsmeade weekends are scheduled for students to buy Christmas gifts or to relax after grueling weeks of study and tests.Īlthough the village has appeared in previous Harry Potter books, it is very significant to plot development in this novel.
Children and adults interact in the village without the formal restrictions expected on campus. Located within an hour’s walking distance of Hogwarts (in the valley below the cliff on which the castle sits), Hogsmeade symbolizes freedom for Hogwarts students. Other businesses sell magical jokes and tricks or deliver messages by color-coded owls. The stores offer exotic treats such as soothing Butterbeer and revolting candies for Hogwarts students, faculty, and staff to savor. Hogsmeade is home to a variety of magical people and creatures who own, manage, or patronize local businesses. This rule is symbolic of the transition phase of children toward adulthood by becoming teenagers when they are age thirteen. Described as the only all-magical village in Great Britain, Hogsmeade seems exotic to Hogwarts students and readers because it is off-limits until young wizards and witches are thirteen years old. The village of Hogsmeade is the book’s most significant setting. In addition to places familiar to readers of the first two Harry Potter books, this novel introduces several new settings separate from Hogwarts as well as new sites within the castle. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is primarily set at Hogwarts.
