Jaunted

In the past most of the films have been shot in and around the UK. Although initial rumors indicated that filming might move to New Zealand, most of the shooting locations remained similar to the previous movies. Glen Coe and Glenfinnan, both in the highlands of Scotland, make appearances once again to ensure consistency between all the films.

Back in England, the village of Lacock was used for many of the night scenes including the house where Dumbledore took Harry to meet Professor Slughorn (above.) In fact, residents of the town were encouraged to draw their shades during the evening, as filming took place overnight. The town’s roots date back to the 13th century, and much of its architecture and tradition has stood the test of time.

If you’re not up to some of these more rustic destinations, you can still see plenty of filming locations while maintaining your cosmopolitan style. The wizards took over the Millennium Bridge in London, and they also frequented Surbiton Station.

If you can’t find the time to travel abroad and check out some of the filming locations in person, you won’t have to wait too much longer to see the movie on the big screen. Assuming no more delays—it was supposed to entertain us last fall—the next installment of the franchise will debut on July 17.
