Harry Potter | THE ULTIMATE UK TRAVEL GUIDE | All Filming Locations

After 3 years of being Americans living in England and exploring all of what the United Kingdom has to offer, we have decided to make the ULTIMATE HARRY POTTER TRAVEL GUIDE. We are massive HP fans and have taken every opportunity we could to venture out and find all of the Wizarding World adventures that exist within our area. We decided to combine our love of the franchise with some of the videos we have made throughout our time here to hopefully help you plan your Harry Potter Travel Itinerary.
In this video, we cover all of the Harry Potter filming locations throughout the UK as well as some special events and places you can visit. We start things off in London where we run through a list of HP-inspired sites including Platform 9 3/4s at Kings Cross, the Warner Brother Studio Tour, and the Cursed Child.
From there we take things North, up to Edinburgh. While no filming was done there, this city is packed to the brim with Wizarding World gold. Whether you want to take a look at Tom Riddles's grave at Greyfriar's Kirkyard or see where the story all began at the Elephant House, Edinburgh has you covered. Scotland was also host to loads of beautiful film sites outside of the city, so if you're wanting to venture out, there is lots to see.
We wrap up by talking about all of the various spots you can visit throughout the whole of the UK. If you're timing is right you can hit up the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience. But no matter the season, the countryside is brimming with amazing sites that will have you feeling like you're walking through Hogwarts yourself.
Harry Potter is something we are both extremely passionate about and really enjoy getting to do things like this! We have been so lucky to live in England and be able to jump on these opportunities. We really hope this helps you plan where you will be visiting when you make the trip across the pond!
Tell us, what Harry Potter-related events do you recommend we visit next? What would you like us to share? What did you think of the video? Leave a comment, like, and subscribe for more!!

Great video. Very helpful. I was looking for one like this, when I google it jus always bring me to the warner brother studios. Thank you so much for this guide. Maybe a next video would be public transport in the UK for the wizards around the world visiting😊.

I live near Freshwater West where Shell cottage was and where they filmed Dobby dying. The local name for the beach is Dobby’s End…

Amazing video!!! I bet y’all spent HOURS editing and writing for this. Way to go! Your videos are making us so excited to head to Lakenheath next year. Thank you for all of your videos. 🙂

[@AroundtheWorldandBeck]

Thank you so much! We are big HP fans and have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. Hope you get the chance to explore some of this once you touch ground in England!

Hi. Just came across ur channel. I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the seventies and in the nineties. Enjoyed both tours. So many fond memories and so many friends met. Thanks and enjoy Virginia

The scene on the bridge at the train station in philosophers stone when hagrid gave Harry the train ticket, was actually filmed at York train station, Goathland train station where they filmed the Hogsmead station scenes isn't far from York and there is a steam train that runs between Goathland and Whitby. The village of Goathland was also the filming location for the British TV programme, Heartbeat and the Train station appears in a couple of episodes.

[@AroundtheWorldandBeck]

Oh wow, it’s such a beautiful location, I’m surprised it’s not used even more than that! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, it helps the channel a lot!

[@shereenwallace7790]

Thatnk you!! Im planning a trip to Lindon area and to help with budgets I want to just take my 8 year old to the filming sites!!

[@disneyanddaysout]

Such a cool video

[@adelwulf8864]

Bit of a shame that you didn't showcase Durham cathedral and Alnwick castle, both of which alongside being film locations inspired the Hogwarts castle itself. You also missed out Glenfinnan viaduct which is just down the road from Loch Eilt which doubled at the lake at Hogwarts and also has Dumbledores grave. In Glencoe you can see the knoll where Hagrids hut stood. Maddening that you're not from the UK but you've added to the North/South divide.

[@OrangeChrist4272]

I'd love to make it to the UK to see all of this. I know I will get there at some point. Interesting to see the actual locations that a lot of the famous scenes were filmed in. Seeing those magically crafted buildings in person must be an entirely different experience. I can't wait for the HBO Max Harry Potter series! It has been too long since the The Deathly Hallows Part 2 was released.

[@shalevedna]

Just went with my oldest grandson to London snd the Leavsden studios. It was Amex I g and 100% worth every Penny.

[@ayesha7786]

Can you please list the names of the exact locations you're talking about? I'm coming soon and i really want to check out the places in the video. Thanks!

[@MathewLauren]

Didn’t realize there were this many locations

[@AroundtheWorldandBeck]

There’s so many more throughout Europe too, crazy! Thanks for watching!

[@rogermoore-gd9do]

It never ceases to amaze me how many Americans think Harry Potter is a real person.

[@Empathusiast]

It never ceases to amaze me how many Ignorant and Negative people there are out there. She obviously doesn't think he's a real person, she's talking from the perspective of the character Harry Potter. Maybe if your head wasn't so filled with dipshit you'd realise that. ✌️
