Activity: History of Hogsmeade Tour
Points: 10 pts, participation only
Deadline: Sunday, 2/22 @ 6 PM CST

Welcome to Hogsmeade! If this is your first, I hope you're having an extra-awesome time, and please try not to overindulge! There'll be future trips, so there's no need to eat so many acid lollies now that you burn a hole through your tongue. ;) I thought a pleasant tour of the town might be enjoyable; would you care to join me?

How to Play
Follow each clue to discover the next location. All locations can be found in the comments to posts in hogsmeadewkends, and they are all from 2008. (None will be found in the current posts.) Every location will be marked with a large image header; for example, the Leaky Cauldron (not in Hogsmeade) would have a large graphic at the start of the post denoting it as such. As you visit each stop on the tour, be sure to keep track of them by writing the stop name down on your tour log. The final stop will ask you a question. Please answer that question as #10 on your tour log.

• Some posts have 2 or 3 pages of comments. The tour will be meeting in the very last comment. ;)
• You do not need to be on the roster to participate in this activity.
• Don't forget to sign with your name/house.
• I will give partial credit if you don't have time to take the full tour. (One point per correct answer.)
• Any questions, just ask!

Clue #1:
Hogsmeade was founded some time around the 10th century (close to the time of Hogwarts' own founding) by Hengist of Woodcroft, who had been driven out of his home by Muggles and sought a wizard-friendly refuge. The first stop on our tour is the place rumoured to have been his home here in Hogsmeade.

Good luck!
