Maybe I've seen too many British TV productions, but the thing I noticed
is that you never read about afternoon tea at Hogwarts. I think most of
us 'Yanks' think that everyone in Britain is born with teacups in their
hands, but I don't recall any tea-drinking at Hogwarts (except maybe in
Trelawny's first class).

I was also surprised at the beginning of GoF that the students went
directly to dinner from the train, despite the fact that most of them
were drenched in icy rain, or by Peeves' water balloons.

And finally, I'm amazed at the late hours they seem to keep. Several of
Harry's detentions started in the late evening and lasted until midnight
or later, including that highly dangerous foray into the Forbidden Forest
to look for the injured Unicorn in PS/SS.

Hogwarts is definitely a different universe from the one I know!
