Hogsmeade

Since papercutting the Gilmore Girls "Stars Hollow" map I was itching to start another... Being a big Harry Potter fan (who isn't?) where better to look for unusual buildings than Hogsmeade?

As all Harry Potter fans know, Hogsmeade is located in Scotland to the northwest of Hogwarts where its architecture reflects its medieval origin. The leaning medieval buildings on the High Street have pointed roofs with tall chimneys.

JK Rowling's Hogsmeade Village is the "only entirely non-muggle settlement in Britain."*

Hogwarts students frequent Hogsmeade High Street on weekends: drinking butterbeer in The Three Broomsticks pub, eating chocolate frogs outside Honeydukes sweet shop, and buying nose-biting teacups from Zonko's joke shop. I labelled the notable shops in their original fonts...

The village also contains a train station and the infamous Shrieking Shack.

As with the "Stars Hollow" papercut map, I turned Hogsmeade into a postcard with Gryffindor's striking burgundy as the background colour...

Hogsmeade postcards are made from high-quality, lightly textured card. To purchase one visit my etsy shop: OhCutItOut.etsy.com

Until next week...
