- Charlie Weasley - Pedra Filosofal (meia-noite)
The clock on the wall had just chimed midnight when the portrait hole burst open. Ron appeared out of nowhere as he pulled off Harry's invisibility cloak. There was a tap on the dark window. "It's Hedwig!" said Harry, hurrying to let her in. "She'll have Charlie's answer!"
- Ministério da Magia - Câmara dos Segredos (aproximadamente das 21h às 22h)
Aunt Petunia was just passing around a box of after-dinner mints when a huge barn owl swooped through the dining room window, dropped a letter on Mrs. Mason's head.
- Hedwig - O Prisioneiro de Azkaban (1AM)
Silhouetted against the golden moon, and growing larger every moment, was a large, strangely lopsided creature, and it was flapping in Harry's direction.

- Cartas de aceitação de Hogwarts - Câmara dos Segredos
Harry heard from Hogwarts one sunny morning about a week after he had arrived at the Burrow. "Letters from school," said Mr. Weasley, passing Harry and Ron identical envelopes of yellowish parchment, addressed in green ink. "Dumbledore already knows you're here, Harry - doesn't miss a trick, that man.
- Profeta Diário - Pedra Filosofal
The owl then fluttered onto the floor and began to attack Hagrid's coat. "Don't do that." Harry tried to wave the owl out of the way, but it snapped its beak fiercely at him and carried on savaging the coat. "Hagrid!" said Harry loudly. "There's an owl." "Pay him," Hagrid grunted into the sofa. "What?" "He wants payin' fer deliverin' the paper.
- Pacotes de empresas de pedidos pelo correio - Pedra do feiticeiro
As the owls flooded into the Great Hall as usual, everyone's attention was caught at once by a long, thin package carried by six large screech owls.
Portanto, embora apareça enquanto normalmente o correio oficial tende a chegar durante a janela do café da manhã, o correio não tem tempo para chegar.
Nota: parece que Hogwarts interrompe a entrega de pacotes até o café da manhã, como visto nesta nota da McGonagall que foi escrita e colocada na embalagem antes do café da manhã.
Harry ripped open the letter first, which was lucky, because it said:
DO NOT OPEN THE PARCEL AT THE TABLE.
It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but I don't want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or they'll all want one. Oliver Wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o'clock for your first training session. -Professor McGonagall (Emphasis mine)
ATUALIZAÇÃO - da Ordem da Fênix.
Percy envia uma carta que chega às 11 da noite, e especificamente declara que ele enviou esta carta para chegar depois do habitual post da manhã. Se isso foi simplesmente enviando-o mais tarde, OU, mas dizendo a sua coruja para não se juntar ao post habitual.
But I want to give you more than congratulations, Ron, I want to give you some advice, which is why I am sending this at night rather than by the usual morning post. Hopefully, you will be able 'o read this away from prying eyes and avoid awkward questions.
