Sundial

"A little farther on they passed a tent that had three floors and several turrets; and a short way beyond that was a tent that had a front garden attached, complete with birdbath, sundial, and fountain."

- Description of Roberts's campsite.

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.

The Stone Circle, a circle of massive menhirs on the Hogwarts Grounds, was used as a sundial.

In 1994, at the Quidditch World Cup Campsite, a wizard had set up a tent with an attached front garden, complete with a birthbath, a sundial and a fountain.
