The Potterhead Bucket List
The Harry Potter places almost every fan has dreamed about visiting at least once. ⚡ Hogwarts filming locations, the Studio Tour, Platform 9¾ and those instantly recognizable spots that make even a grown Potterhead ridiculously happy.
Yes, it’s touristy. No, I do not care. 😂 If I’m at King’s Cross, this Potterhead is getting the Platform 9¾ picture.
Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station | Harry Potter
This is basically the mothership for Potterheads. 😂 Walking through the actual sets and seeing the costumes and props up close is absolutely on my list—give me Diagon Alley, the Great Hall and the Hogwarts Express ALL in one day.
WB Studio Tour
If you’ve ever wanted to stand where Harry learned to fly a broom, here you go. ⚡ I love that this is an actual gorgeous castle you can explore AND one of those places you’ll immediately recognize from the movies.
Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle | Alnwick Castle Northumberland
Tell me you can look at this without immediately seeing the Hogwarts Express. 🚂⚡ As a huge Potterhead, watching the train cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct in the Scottish Highlands is VERY high on my list—and yes, I will absolutely be pretending I’m on ...
Glenfinnan Viaduct
THIS is the kind of Harry Potter experience I want. Riding a steam train through the Scottish Highlands and crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct feels about as close as we Muggles are getting to taking the Hogwarts Express.
The Jacobite Steam Train
When you're in the mood for some magical escapism during a cozy night in, consider this app. With a 4.7-star rating from over a million reviewers, it's clearly got some spellbinding allure that might just transport you straight to Hogwarts without ev...
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery App - App Store
Hello, Malfoy Manor. 🐍 This is exactly the kind of slightly less obvious filming location I love finding—Potterheads will recognize it, but it isn't necessarily the first place everyone thinks to visit.
Hardwick Manor
This is where J.K. Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which makes it one of those Potter history stops I love. There’s something very cool about being in the city where so much of the story behind the stories happened.
Rocco Forte Hotels The Balmoral Hotel
I loved exploring the Harry Potter side of Edinburgh because there are little connections and bits of Potter lore tucked all over the city. Greyfriars is one of those places where having a good guide makes it even more fun because you’ll walk right p...

Elephant House Cafe
Oxford already looks like someone should be walking around in robes carrying a wand, so the fact that they actually filmed Harry Potter here feels completely appropriate. 😂 There are several Potter locations to find, which makes this one worth givin...
Harry Potter Tour of Oxford
You take one look at Victoria Street and immediately understand why Potterheads love it. 🪄 Whether or not every bit of Diagon Alley lore you hear about it is actually true, wandering this part of Edinburgh absolutely feels like you’ve stepped a litt...
Harry Potter Book & Filming Locations in Scotland
Beyond the Marauder's Map
A few magical places you might not already have on your Harry Potter travel list. 🗺️ Think lesser-known filming locations, beautiful old castles and villages, and those “WAIT…they filmed Harry Potter THERE?” finds that are half the fun of being a Po...
This one is such a good Potterhead find because you get several filming locations in one beautiful little area. Hogwarts corridors, classrooms AND Godric’s Hollow connections? Put Lacock on the Marauder’s Map. ⚡
Lacock | Wiltshire
Those gorgeous cloisters you’re walking through? Hogwarts. 😍 I love locations like this because even without the Harry Potter connection they’re worth visiting—and then you realize you’re standing somewhere you’ve watched on screen a hundred times.
Gloucester Cathedral
Shell Cottage! 😭 The cottage isn't still standing there, but this is the beach used for those scenes in Deathly Hallows. This is definitely one of the more emotional stops on my Potterhead list.
Freshwater West
If Godric’s Hollow is on your imaginary travel itinerary, add Lavenham. I love finding the real places hiding behind the Wizarding World because this beautiful medieval village feels magical without needing any movie props at all.
Lavenham Guildhall │ Suffolk
