The Hogwarts Carriages[1] transported Hogwarts students between Hogsmeade Station and Hogwarts Castle.[2][3][4]

Description[]

They were black in colour, with headlamps attached to the front. During inclement weather, hoods are attached to the top of the carriages, but in fair weather, the tops were left open. They were pulled by Thestrals, skeletal winged horses that only people who had seen death could see.[2][4]

However, they only transported second- to seventh-years, as the first-years traditionally travelled across the Black Lake by boat with Professor Hagrid.[5]
