"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?" The subject of this article is a real-life person, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source.

A traffic light is a Muggle device for regulating the flow of vehicular traffic at an intersection, featuring changing signals of light. A green light is used to indicate "go," that vehicles can proceed, while a red light means vehicles must stop in the direction facing that light.

In 1991, Harry Potter observed that his uncle Vernon Dursley's "face went from red to green faster than a set of traffic lights" upon first glancing at his initial Hogwarts acceptance letter.^[1]
