- "The Great Hall looked magnificent. Not only were there a dozen frost-covered Christmas trees and thick streamers of holly and mistletoe crisscrossing the ceiling, but enchanted snow was falling, warm and dry, from the ceiling."

Enchanted snow,[1] also known as magical snow,[2] is a magical imitation of snow. It shares most of the properties of snow (density, colour, shape etc.), however, unlike snow, it is warm and dry.[1] It is usually used as a decoration around Christmas in the wizarding world, probably in the same way Muggles use tinsel or baubles.[1][2]
History[]
In the Christmas of 1992, enchanted snow fell from the Great Hall's Enchanted Ceiling at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[1]
In the Christmas of 1995, 12 Grimmauld Place was covered in heaps of enchanted snow. The Christmas tree at the reception area in St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries was decorated with enchanted snow.[2]
