We have big dreams - sometimes scary, unforgettable dreams that repeat on the same date every year and are shared by every person in town - but we make those big dreams come true. Remember the clock tower? It took eight years and $23 million to build, and despite its invisibility and constant teleportation, it is a lovely structure that keeps impeccable time. Joseph Fink
About This Quote

The clock tower is an iconic structure in the town of Hogsmeade, which is unlike any other town. It was built by the wizard Gilderoy Lockhart with his own money, and although it was built to keep time, it is no longer needed. Many of the features of the castle are missing, but nevertheless it stands. Whenever people visit, they always stop to admire the sight of the clock tower in the distance.

The townspeople are proud of their landmark, and they often tell visitors that if they visit there on certain dates of their year, they will hear bells ringing on all four sides of the clock tower. The villagers say that if you hear the bells ringing at midnight on these specific dates, you will hear happy children playing in the streets of Hogsmeade.
