Did You Know?
Braces, or suspenders, were almost universally worn due to the high cut of men's trousers. Belts did not become common until the 1920s. — MJ

At sunset, Thestral-drawn carriages will appear for guests to enter near Woodcraft Plaza on High Street. Each one can hold about four to six people, depending on how squished people wish to be. As the carriages glide along High Street, the windows shimmer, showing Hogsmeade as it once was, probably about 100 or so years ago. The images may be slightly off, with people’s movements just a moment behind. Occasional illusions of magical creatures appear outside the windows: a cat vanishing mid-leap, a fairy tapping on the window, or a unicorn rearing up.

The carriages stop at Asphodel Cemetery, where a secluded section has been transformed for the evening. Lanterns float gently above, lighting the space. The tombstones and graves themselves remain untouched, although the cobblestone courtyard has been magically cleared. A dance floor sits in the center, while light refreshments float on trays near the edges. Ghostly music plays, although it’s almost impossible to tell from where.

For those who don’t wish to dance, guests can wander along a curated spooky path with harmless illusions through the edges of Asphodel Cemetery and just into the Forbidden Forest; it might rearrange itself, reminiscent of a maze. There’s a ghostly spectator who tries to call them to follow them, although it’s difficult to tell if they are part of the event or not. Only the brave (or the stupid) would choose to step off the path near the Forbidden Forest, although there’s absolutely nothing stopping them from doing so.

At sunrise guests are invited back into the carriages to be taken back to Woodcroft Plaza. If guests wish to leave earlier, they can walk.
