ALL ABOUT HARRY POTTER
OVERALL PLOT
Harry Potter is about a teenage wizard raised by his non-magical relatives, his mother's sister and her husband. His parens were in fact killed by Voldemort, a dark wizard that tried to kill him when he was just a newborn, though he did not succeed and harry bore the famous lightening scar on his forhead. When he came of age to attend Hogwarts School of Whitchcraft and Wizardry, Harry fount out the truth about himself and his parents.
From the first moment at school he befriended two of his all time best friends, Hermione and Ron; with them he attended all the seven years of school.
WHERE WAS IT FILMED
Durham Cathedral, which dates to the 11th century, was the location for more than one scene in the Harry Potter franchise. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, it played the part of Hogwarts, and appears in a scene when Harry releases Hedwig, his owl, in a snow-covered cloister. In the second installment, the cathedral was used in a scene where Professor McGonagall teaches students the Vera Verto spell, showing them how to change animals into water goblets.
One of the most famous locations in the Harry Potter saga is the Dursley home, located at 4 Privet Drive in the books, though the real house is located on 12 Picket Post Close in the town of Bracknell. Harry lived here, in a cupboard, with Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and his cousin Dudley Dursley before he departed for Hogwarts. After having to pay residents to film in this neighborhood 35 miles west of London, Warner Bros decided to build a replica of the house in a studio.
One of the most famous scenes from the saga is when Harry takes the train to Hogwarts, the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Glenfinnan Viaduct, completed in 1901, in Inverness-shire in the Scottish Highlands was used to bring the fantastical journey to life. As you cross the River Finnan, you travel along the viaduct located 100 feet above the water.
Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, in northern England, appears in the first movie as the setting of Madam Hooch’s class on how to fly broomsticks. The castle often holds events and has exhibits related to Harry Potter.
Oxford’s Bodleian Library, which dates from the 17th century, is used as the restricted section of the library at Hogwarts. Bodleian’s Divinity School appears as the infirmary for the wizardry school in four of the films, featuring its elaborate vaulted ceiling.
Over 1300 years of history have unfolded at Gloucester Cathedral in southern England, and recently that includes some silver screen appearances. The corridors of the cathedral were used to shoot scenes that took place in the House of Gryffindor. There’s no need to have read Harry Potter to appreciate the beauty of this historic and architectural wonder.
The famous Grimmauld Place, house of the Black Family, is situated in the borough of slingon, not far from King's Cross Station
