Didn't see one around, so I thought I'd start a topic on the iconic landmarks we've seen through out the Harry Potter movies, etc. Or maybe you've been to Nicholson's Cafe (now turned into a Chinese Resturant) where JKR herself wrote most of the manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? Last year in the summer my family and I went away to Scotland for a week and it was such a wonderful experience. I'd definately love to travel up there again! I managed to go see Edinburgh Castle whilst in Edinburgh itself when the festival up there was taking place. Loved it. ^__^ It's so beautiful. I've also been lucky to visit Alnwick Castle! I spotted Harry, Hagrid and Dumbledore talking to all the little children which was quite funny. Felt dead lucky to be there. The place is just really lovely! -------------------- Me: I love Snape. I think he's quite hot. Friend: Eh?! ;)

I used to live about an hour outside Edinburgh, so have been there lots. I've stayed at the Charing Cross Hotel, and used the station whilst there, and I've been through Kings Cross on a number of occasions. My daughter and I have stayed in Oxford for holidays four times, as we simply love the place. We visited Christchurch and of course had our photos taken on the staircase! Whilst in a coffee shop in Oxford, we were very pleasantly surprised to see a lovely young woman called Emma Watson. The coffee shop was nice and quiet, but as she was obviously out with friends or family, we didn't like to bother her. But it was just lovely for us to know we were in an iconic HP town drinking our morning coffees along side Emma. -------------------- "Slow down and enjoy life.
