What is the name of the fictional village near Hogwarts where Harry Potter shops?

The story behind the answer

Hogsmeade is the fictional village near Hogwarts where Harry Potter shops and spends approved weekends. It is described as the only entirely non-Muggle settlement in Britain in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world.

The village contains wizarding businesses and landmarks including Honeydukes sweetshop, Zonko’s Joke Shop, the Three Broomsticks Inn, and the Hog’s Head Inn. Hogwarts students who have reached the required year and obtained parental permission may visit during scheduled weekend trips.

Hogsmeade is different from Diagon Alley, the London shopping street where Harry and his classmates buy school supplies. It is also distinct from Godric’s Hollow, a village associated with Harry’s family history, and Little Whinging, the Surrey suburb where Harry lives with the Dursleys.
