Hogwarts: where is it really?

Fantastic saga about Harry Potter has long been over, but fans continue to worry about the question of where Hogwarts really is. It was in this castle and its environs that all the main events took place with the participation of a young wizard.

For any fan of the work of Joan Rowling it is very important to visit Hogwarts. Where is this educational institution, for the beginning it is better to learn from books.

According to the plot of the work

The writer herself in some interviews hinted that the school of sorcery is located in Scotland. It was there that she drew inspiration to write her books. Images from the film confirm these revelations.

It is not possible to understand where the Hogwarts school is located. This place is bewitched, and even if an ordinary person approaches the castle, he will only see the ruins with the forbidding sign.

It is also impossible to cross the Hogwarts border. You can do this at a certain time and in a strictly limited place. There are no usual technical innovations in the school, since the use of any energy other than magic is unacceptable.

Not far from the castle is the village of Hogsmeade, in which only mages live. It is to the station Hogsmeade that the train arrives with the students.

The film mentions other schools of sorcery:

• Institute of Salem Witches (possibly the USA).
• Sharmbaton (France).
• Brazilian school of magic.
• School of magicians Durmstrang (possibly Holland).

Of course, sorcery and all the characters are a fiction, however, filming was conducted in real architectural and natural objects. Although not without the layout. It was built on the site of the Warner Brothers film studio. Next, we will talk about where the Hogwarts Castle and its main premises are located.

The main places of the Hogwarts school, about which it is worth learning

Adherents of the saga, of course, would like to see Hogwarts, where the "city" of magic is located - a lot of hidden places - and the main events take place, was a single ensemble. However, this is not so, so in order to visit all parts of the fictional castle, the tourist will have to travel fairly. Although, no doubt, it's worth it.

In what places is it worth to visit, following in the footsteps of Harry Potter and his friends? Here is an example list:

• Hogwarts Castle - Northumberland County.
• The dark forest is Buckinghamshire.
• Dining room is Oxford.
• Library - Oxford.
• The secret room is the county of Wiltshire.
• Corridors of the castle - Gloucester Cathedral.
• King's Cross Station - London.
• Station Hogsmeade - Gotland, Yorkshire.

Hogwarts Castle

The real lock, which produced the shooting, is Alnick. It is located in the county of Northumberland, which is on the border with Scotland. It was in the courtyard of this ancient castle that the wizards played Quidditch and learned to fly on broomsticks.

The story of Alnika is not limited to the Harry Potter movie. Information about him is dated 1096 year. He was always known for his interior decoration, art galleries, library. He was used to shoot films about Robin Hood, Queen Elizabeth, Knight Ivanhoe. In the movie, he turned into Hogwarts from the books of Joan Rowling.

Where is this magical place, dreamed of knowing thousands of readers. That is why the castle of Alnika is attracted by special attention, which has not been dying for many years.

However, the film was not shot only in the pavilion and Alnika. The directors created a collective image of the school, combining many fascinating places.

forbidden Forest

According to the plot, the school of sorcery is located near a forest in which unicorns and sinister werewolves live. The real place for filming was Black Park, which is located in Buckinghamshire. The atmosphere of the forest did not have to be complemented by the scenery, because it itself is so dense that there even on a sunny day there is a twilight.

Canteen

Often a dining room appears in the frame. It is in it that young wizards begin and end the school year in each series of movie solos. It is not located in Alnica. In fact, this is the dining room of Christ Church College, which is part of Oxford.

This educational institution has a long history. At one time he graduated from Lewis Carroll - the author of "Alice in Wonderland" and a scientist of world renown Albert Einstein. Other equally famous students were the outstanding writers Oscar Wilde and John Ronald Ruel Tolkien.

Library

Oxford gave one more location for the creation of the Hogwarts School. Where is the book depository, in which the young Hermione loved to draw information? Everything happened in the famous Bodleian library of the famous university. She belonged to the Duke of Humphrey. Until now, it is considered the oldest and largest in Western Europe, a repository of books.

Corridors of the castle

The corridors along which the students of the school of magic and magic ran, are actually located in the Cathedral of Gloucester. Their fan arches fascinate with their appearance. The cathedral itself was erected in the 14th century in the southwestern lands of England. It is considered to be the pearl of architecture of that time and modernity.

In his district - incredibly picturesque landscapes, which amaze with a variety of shapes and shapes. It was in these corridors that Harry and Ron were rescued by their friend from the giant troll in the first part of the saga.

Chamber of Secrets

The premises for the Secret Chamber were chosen Lakok Abbey, which is located in the county of Wiltshire. In addition, scenes where Harry heard Basilisk's voice while serving his sentence were also filmed.

The abbey is famous for being inhabited by an English inventor in the field of photography. His name was William Tabott. After visiting the convent, you can learn a lot of classrooms in which the lessons of young wizards took place.

Kings Cross Railway Station

According to the plot, the train to the school of magicians leaves the platform 9 ¾ of the King's Cross station. The shooting was based on a vaulted wall between the fourth and fifth platforms. For fans of the work of Rowling on the platform, an installation was created in the form of a trolley vanishing in the wall. There is also a plaque on it in which it is written: "Platform 9 ¾".

Hogsmeade Station

It is from this station that the locomotive takes away the young magicians to the school of magic. The real place for filming was the station area of Gotland, located in the county of Yorkshire. It was there that one of the first railways in England was built.

This is only part of the places that were used to shoot a fascinating saga about a young wizard and his friends, who fought desperately with a dangerous magician whose name few dared to utter.

So, many places from the scenes in the films are quite real. Of these, the creators of the movie were Hogwarts. Where is the prototype of the famous school in Russia? Unfortunately, none of the listed attractions to our country has anything to do with.
