Britain is the birthplace of Harry Potter, where the stories and magical world in the book and a series of movies were filmed.
I'm not a fan of Harry Potter, but when I come to England, I really want to go to those "magical worlds". I have made a list of places I have been to and what I know about Harry Potter, so everyone can punch in.
Kingscross: Actually, there is no real 93/4 platform in the station. This platform is specially built for fans from all over the world. There is also half a luggage cart on the wall. The staff also prepared scarves, wands and other props intimately, so that everyone could put on scarves, push their cars and take photos casually here, pretending to go to Hogwarts. There are too many fans waiting in a long line, and then you can take a special photo, and people fly with scarves, which costs 9 pounds.
Anik Castle: The shape of Hogwarts Castle comes from Anik Castle, where Harry first met Quidditch.
This castle is the second largest living castle in Britain. This is a private castle in medieval style. It is open to the public from March to June, and the owner of the castle will come back to live for the rest of the year. Quidditch lessons are even arranged for fans to experience.
Address: 66 1NQ, AlnwickCastlearnwick, Northumberland
Oxford University:
Christian Church College Restaurant: Hogwarts Auditorium
This is perhaps the most impressive place at Hogwarts. At the beginning of the film, Harry stands in the ranks of freshmen, slowly approaching sorting hat with trepidation, waiting for the college where he finally belongs.
However, the actual location of this brightly lit auditorium, the canteen of Christian College of Oxford University, is not as grand as the movie, but it is also exciting enough.
Bodley Library: It's the library on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle. Harry once put on an invisibility cloak and sneaked into the restricted area of the library late at night to find information about the philosopher's stone.
Ruins of York: The location of diagon alley in the play, the bustling magical world. There are all kinds of small shops on both sides of the cobblestone path, and the crooked buildings are a little crowded, with countless goods on display.
Elephant Cafe: A cafe in Edinburgh, which is famous for J.K. Rowling writing Harry Potter here. J.K. Rowling was short of money at that time. In order to save the heating cost at home, she comes here every day to order a cup of coffee and write about the early Harry Potter, which is the birthplace of Harry Potter and a place for fans to make a pilgrimage. The store is very small, so you need to queue up to order food. The best thing is that the ceiling of the bathroom inside is covered with fans' signatures.
Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio in London: This is a magical experience for fans. You can learn the secrets behind the scenes and get close to the iconic props and costumes. There is a Harry Potter shop next to each location, where you can buy some magic souvenirs, but the price is slightly more expensive.
