A sundial is a device that can be used to tell the time of day, through the relative position of the sun in the sky. In common designs, the sun casts a shadow onto a surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day.[3]
History[]
The Stone Circle, a circle of massive menhirs on the Hogwarts Grounds, was used as a sundial.[4] There were other sundials across the lawn.[1]
On 25 August 1994 at the Quidditch World Cup Campsite, a wizard had set up a tent with an attached front garden, complete with a bird bath, a sundial and a fountain.[2]
