OK - sunset in Northern Scotland on October 31 is about 4:00 - 4:30pm. 
It does differ a bit but back when I was examining the astronomy 
contained in Order of the Phoenix, consensus arrived at three likely 
regions Hogwarts is located in - and the time for those regions varies 
from 3:56pm - 4:32pm.

However that far north, there's a fairly long twilight - so it probably 
doesn't actually get dark dark for around an hour after sunset.
