Tonya here:

Good point!!  I think like Pippen, that the wizard world has adopted 
the muggle timeline to make life easier.  I also think that they run 
on a different schedule, a little more laid back (except for classes 
and tardiness I would assume) not so rushed, not so harried.  Look at 
POA and Honeydukes they closed down the shop at night fall because of 
the Dementors were patrolling the streets, well that changes every 
day.  

Of course this could be my impression because I see the wizard world 
as a dream place to live in.  Therefore it must not be as stressful 
as rush hour traffic, drive by shootings, wrong sides of town, and be 
careful who and what you say to people about yourself.
