After more than three years of research, we managed to find sixty-nine<\/strong> (69) Harry Potter Places in the United Kingdom of Great Britain (the UK<\/strong>) that are associated with the Harry Potter Universe (the Potterverse<\/strong>). Each Harry Potter Places<\/em> (HPP<\/strong>) travel guidebook provides directions for finding the real-life locations described in JK Rowling\u2019s books, the places where Harry Potter filming took place, and the sites that significantly influenced movie studio set design\u2014real-life sites that look just like what we saw on screen.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many Potterites have run into false or misleading information when searching for Harry Potter Places to visit. Lincoln\u2019s Inn Fields<\/strong>, for example, is listed by many movie databases as where Grimmauld Place<\/strong> scenes were filmed. Our research showed this to be an entirely false lead. The Site #15<\/strong> entry in HPP Book One\u2014London and London Side-Along Apparations<\/strong> will lead you to the real<\/em> real-life Grimmauld Place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Please Note:<\/strong> No other Harry-Potter-related website or travel guidebook currently available will lead you to the real real-life Grimmauld Place! Of course, after HPP Book One is launched (in January of 2012), we\u2019re sure others will pass along our exclusive find.<\/p>\n

In addition to telling you how to find every one of the 68 UK Harry Potter Places, each HPP travel guidebook\u2019s Site entry offers enhanced versions of the movie screenshots that were filmed at the location, as well as tips for recreating them so that your personal photos look similar to the scenes seen on screen. Below is one of seven<\/em> Grimmauld Place enhanced screenshots offered in HPP Book One, followed by two real-life photos snapped by Potterite Tara Bellers while visiting Site #15 in 2009.<\/p>\n
