The lake


Do you see this islet that McGonagall and Harry are looking? Or on the right of the image with Hagrid in the middle? And now remenber the end of the seventh film part 1! Yes! This is where Albus Dumbledore is buried with his wand. This islet is on the Loch Eilt Lake, which is visible from the Jacobite Train.
 

The train

Here's the train to go to Hogwards. We particularly see it in the second film. In fact, this is the Jacobite Steam Train and we also see the viaduc of Glenfinnan
But, be careful, don't do as Ron and Harry who missed the train and borrow Ron dad's car to go to school without the permission: you see it is dangerous!

The Library

The place where Hermione spends all of her days is... The Library. This place in the film is a part of Oxford, and it is also a library: The Bodleian library. We can see it in the first film, when Harry's group looked for some information about Nicolas Flamel. (Nicolas Flamel really existed and you can find the older house of Paris built in 1407, now named Inn Nicolas Flamel)

First class

Wingardium leviosa!
Yes, the spell Hermione passes very weel was created in a classroom of Harrow School, in  Middlesex, Harrow. I let you appreciate this little moment again. ...


Fly

Now...
The first fly!
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone, Harry learns to fly, but we see he doesn't need any lessons because he is talented. Later in this film, he is hired in Gryffindor quidditch's team and learn the rules with Olivier Dubois.
These scenes were filmed at Alnwick Castle, Northumberland.


The Stairs

Remember the time, fisrt years arrived at Hogwarts and setted foot on these stairs ... It was both; before the sorting ceremony; and in the second film when Harry and Ron arrived late for their first day at school (as on the image). But also at the Yule Ball, when we first discover Hermione in a wonderful pink dress! These scenes take place at Chris Church College, Oxford.
Let you see!

The Zoo



A famous scene of the fisrt chapter of the saga is the zoo scene, where Harry discovers he can do magic things. And yes, the zoo do exist (in London)! To find  the place in it, the zoo made a placard indicating that a Harry Potter's scene has been filmed there.
