The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
The theme park, which has already undergone an expansion, is an almost perfect replica of what we have in the Harry Potter films, which makes it possible to really feel the magic of the universe.
They are actually two parks: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter , where we have Hogsmead with all its stores and the school of Hogwarts , and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley , where we have a representation of King’s Cross and the Alley diagonal.

The Elephant House
It is remarkable the love that all fans of Harry Potter have for its author: JK Rowling. The Scottish Cafe The Elephant House is located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and it was here that JK Rowling wrote many pages of his books.
As you all know, it was on a train trip from Exeter to Manchester that ideas popped into the head of the author, but it was only at The Elephant House that they were transcribed in a narrative form. How great it would it be to visit with cheap flights to sit in the same place where Harry Potter created life!

King’s Cross
King’s Cross is where the magic of books and movies meet. The famous train station located in London is the gateway from the real world to the fantastic world, and soon means a lot to the fans.
Being fundamental in the plot of the books and in the recording of the films, to visit the station where it embarks for the Express of Hogwarts must transmit nostalgia without equal.
Although the film was recorded between platforms four and five, for reasons of better adaptation, the Station already recognised the success of Harry Potter.

Lacock Abbey
Built in the 13th century, Lacock Abbey in England is a place that was also used as a location for the first Harry Potter films.
The warming room of the Abbey was used as a Defence Room against the Dark Arts in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, while the Abbey sacristy was used as the Potions room in the same film.
The Chapter House in the Abbey was used in both the first and second films, representing the room where the mirror of Ojesed and the room in which Harry did an exercise, respectively.
