When Harry found himself inside the whimsical cottage he could hear nothing but the ebb and flow of the sea.
This stretch of golden sand was the location for Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour‘s Shell Cottage in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Shell Cottage: Freshwater West, Pembrokeshire, Wales Or if you’re into hill walking, it’s a great entry point to the Highlands. Once voted Scotland’s most romantic glen, it’s also a beautiful scenic place with plenty of holiday lodges and cottages. You'll recognise the spectacular Steall Falls there from the Tri-Wizard Tournament in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The Quidditch matches – inter-house broomstick ball games - were filmed in front of Glen Nevis. The natural drama of the Scottish Highlands provided the perfect backdrop for the first two Harry Potter movies. Quidditch matches and more: Glencoe, Argyll, Scotland The head of the Weasley family modified it to fit eight people, six trunks, two owls and one rat. See if you can spot where, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Arthur Weasley’s baby-blue flying Ford Anglia lands on the viaduct. You can journey through this magical landscape just as Harry and friends did, aboard the Jacobite steam train used as the Hogwarts Express in the movie. This viaduct, 100ft (30.5m) above ground, is captured in several Harry Potter films on the route to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
