Lanterns

Lanterns

Lanterns are a somewhat common light source in the wizarding world.

Lanterns were repeatedly used for functional lighting on festive occasions including the 1994 Quidditch World Cup (GF8), the Yule Ball (GF23), Harry’s 17th birthday dinner (DH7), and Bill and Fleur’s wedding (DH8).

Magical creatures also use lamps; Hinkypunks carry lanterns which they use to lure individuals who are lost (PA10), and flying leprechauns carried lanterns in their pre-game display at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup (GF8).
