这是在Hogwarts北面的小镇。Hogsmeade是“猪（hog）的蜂蜜酒（meade）”的意思。

Dufftown附近。
Moray的位置如下。

为作者住在苏格兰吧。住在苏格兰在很久以前的人是picts，苏格兰又被称为caledonia。
Hogsmeade是大约1000年前Hengist of Woodcroft建立的。Woodcroft里面Wood的意思估

One of her most striking claims is that Sun Yat-sen, revered as the father
of modern China, "raised my grandfather and granduncle as his own sons" –
akin to a Briton being reared by Winston Churchill. Prof John Wong of the
University of Sydney, an expert on Sun's life, said he had no knowledge of

What Nationality Were Adam and Eve?
A Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve
frolicking in the Garden of Eden. "Look at their reserve, their calm," muses
the Brit. "They must be British." "Nonsense," the Frenchman disagrees. "
They're naked, and so beautiful. Clearly, they are French." "No clothes, no
shelter," the Russian points out, "they have only an apple to eat, and they'
re being told this is paradise. They are Russian." |

mix of WWII weapons after the war's end.
