12 Grimmauld Place | Order of the Phoenix
12 Grimmauld Place was the ancestral home of the Black family,
located in the Borough of Islington, London, in a Muggle
neighbourhood, and the location was protected by a Fidelius
Charm. As the house was invisible to the neighbourhood
residents, the local Muggles had long since accepted the mistake
in numbering which landed number 13 next to number 11.
Leaky Cauldron | Prisoner of Azkaban
London’s Borough Market serves as the location of the Leaky
Cauldron in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Dating
back to the 12th century, its centuries-old buildings and
bustling atmosphere make it the perfect place to hide a magical
pub! South of the Thames, and just a short distance from London
Bridge tube station, Borough Market is the perfect place for any
Potter fan to take a stroll and soak up the Wizarding World.
Hogwarts Dining Hall
Did you know that the “Harry Potter dining hall” at Oxford
University is actually the canteen for students at Christ
Church? Here’s what really goes on in the infamous Christ Church
dining hall. The most famous Harry Potter location here is
undoubtedly Christ Church dining hall, which was the inspiration
for the Harry Potter dining hall in the Harry Potter films.
Hogwarts Corridors
Lacock Abbey is the most iconic Harry Potter filming location in
Lacock and the interiors were used as the interiors of Hogwarts
School for a significant number of scenes in the first two Harry
Potter films. More recently, it has also been used in the
Fantastic Beasts film: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The cloisters
at Lacock Abbey have served as Hogwarts Corridors on many
occasions along with the New College cloisters and Christ Church
cloisters at Oxford.
Leaky Cauldron | Philosopher's Stone
It’s one of the oldest markets halls in London and was
originally built in the 14th-century. But, the market you see
today was designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones which is why it’s
so popular! The structure of Leadenhall Market is always open to
the public 24 hours a day as a tourist attraction in London. The
scenes are when Harry Potter and Hagrid visit the Leaky Cauldron
to enter Diagon Alley!
Hogwarts Express
West Coast Railways, operators of 'The Jacobite', provided the
steam engine and carriages for the 'Hogwarts Express' as seen in
the 'Harry Potter' films including 'The Philosopher's Stone' and
others in this wonderful series of films. Some of the carriages
of 'The Jacobite' are those used in the 'Harry Potter' films.
So, come and travel to Mallaig along the line used in the films,
see the famous Glenfinnan viaduct, an unmistakable landmark for
all Harry Potter fans. It's a great day out for all the family.
Death Eaters attack | Half-Blood Prince
Although in the chapters of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince this bridge is called Brockdale Bridge, in the movies
it’s actually the Millennium Bridge in London! Luckily for
Potterheads, the Millennium Footbridge is a real filming
location in England and a tourist attraction that you can visit
for yourself.
