Hogsmeade residents eager for some good cheer in light of their foggy surroundings will be disappointed: the Summer Solstice Festival will not be kicking off tonight as planned, with carnival organizers citing the fog as an excuse.

"In addition to concerns of safety, the lack of magic means that many of our acts simply cannot go on," organizers said. "It would be unfair to our performers and to our guests for the show to go on in such a diluted fashion."

Carnival workers were given a clean bill of health by Magical Bugs employees at Hogsmeade Hospital, though some local residents worry that the inaccessibility of magic might have hindered these results.

Those who do make it to Padmore Park might be able to view some beasts or have their palm read, but can expect little else until further notice.
