Geoff:
Yes, I'd forgotten how much further north Hogwarts is. the figures I 
suggested yesterday were for the south-west. I know from experience 
that, even later in the summer, there can be upwards of an hour's 
difference in the sunrise and sunset times between the Scottish 
highlands and the south of England.
