Players can skip time by opening up the Map screen and selecting Wait by pressing R3. This will bring up a confirmation message asking if you want to advance the time to the next day or night.
There is no way of skipping time to a specific time of day as the options only include changing from day and night. In addition, you cannot wait while on a mount so be sure to dismount first before opening up the Map menu.
Advancing the time won't automatically be unlocked as you will have to complete a few main quests to gain this feature. More specifically, you will need to complete the Welcome to Hogsmeade main quest.

Switching between the day and night cycles enables certain features to be available. An example of this would be the ability to collect Demiguise Statues. While these collectibles can be found in different areas of the game, they can only be acquired at night.

As the name implies, switching over from either day and night cycle changes the environment to reflect the desired time. The day cycle features more students around Hogwarts while the night cycle significantly reduces this, giving a more realistic feel to the school.
Due to the day and night cycle, some quest givers will not appear unless you wait for the day to change.
Instead, a golden circle will appear in their place allowing you to wait and skip the time without opening up the Map menu.
