No: HPFGUIDX 163110 Just another reminder to throw into the brew! Hallow-e'en, October 31, is the night of Samhain, or the Celtic New Year, November 1st is All Hallows Day, the Christian take-over of the Celtic festival. So I guess Hogwarts has been celebrating the two 'new years' all along. Cheers, AmanitaMuscaria
