The Hog's Head is a pub in the fictional Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. The bar is located in Hogsmeade, a small, pleasant village within walking distance of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry and a large group of his friends visit the Hog's Head in the fifth Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, to organize a Defence Against the Dark Arts study group, Dumbledore's Army. The bar is also mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when Rubeus Hagrid admits that he won Norbert the dragon from a hooded stranger in the Hog's Head. According to Hagrid, "you get a lot of funny folk in the Hog's Head". A hogshead is a large cask of liquid (less often, of a food commodity). ...

Description

The bar has a rather "dodgy" atmosphere. The sign outside is a wild boar's severed head with its blood leaking onto the white tablecloth it sits on. Inside, the bar is nothing like the popular Three Broomsticks, where most of the students go in Hogsmeade. It comprises "one small, dingy, very dirty room" (pg. 335, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). Most of the windows are coated so thick with grime that candles must be lit on the "rough" wooden tables to provide light. Harry also notices that the stone floor seems to be covered under "the accumulated filth of centuries" (pg. 335, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). Additionally, the people who visit the Hog's Head are drastically different from those who visit The Three Broomsticks. Here, Harry finds that "keeping your face hidden was something of a fashion" (pg. 336 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) and many of the customers seem secretive and suspicious.

The Bartender

The bartender in the Hog's Head is in fact the brother of Albus Dumbledore, Aberforth Dumbledore. However, many Potter-fans had resolved this before the author's announcement for a number of reasons. For one, when Harry first saw the grumpy-looking bartender, he thought he looked vaguely familiar, possibly due to Harry's frequent meetings with the Hogwarts headmaster or because Alastor Moody showed Harry a picture of Aberforth with other members of the Order of the Phoenix. Additionally, Harry felt that the bar smelled strongly of goats, and in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore revealed that his brother was convicted of practising inappropriate charms on a goat. More recent evidence from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince also points to this conclusion. When Dumbledore leaves the school to search for more Horcruxes, he leaves with the alibi of going to visit the Hog's Head for a drink. He also said, about Hogsmeade, that he is "friendly with the local barmen". Harry also makes a brief mention during Dumbledore's funeral that the barman of the Hog's Head was present, which would be logical if the two were brothers. Interestingly enough, though maybe even coincidentally, ‘Hog's Head’ purports to ‘Hogwarts Headmaster’. It is confirmed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that the bartender is indeed Aberforth Dumbledore, who helps the trio to sneak into Hogwarts via a secret passageway in a portrait of Ariana Dumbledore leading to the Room of Requirement which Neville Longbottom had helped "build" (the Room of Requirement grants what the user wants most). The room was later used to evacuate underage Hogwarts students through the secret passageway immediately before the Battle of Hogwarts. The Hog's Head was also used as a meeting place of the remaining members of The Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army to fight against Voldemort and his Death Eaters at the Battle of Hogwarts.

The Hog's Head and the Prophecy

Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger (Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, respectively) in the Hog's Head in a scene from the fifth film.

In addition to being the place where Harry's Anti-Dolores Umbridge league, Dumbledore's Army, was founded, it is also the place where Sybill Trelawney made the famous prophecy that marked Harry as the "Chosen One". Albus Dumbledore was interviewing her for a Hogwarts teaching job in the Hog's Head upstairs room when she suddenly began recounting a genuine Prophecy. She was overheard by then-Death Eater Severus Snape, who was caught by the door and hauled before Albus by Aberforth. Snape then went to Voldemort and told him the first half of the Prophecy. In some ways, this event alone makes the Hog's Head a landmark location in the Wizarding World. Image File history File links Hp5-still. ... Image File history File links Hp5-still. ...
