Wales & South England
After a great time in Ireland we return to GB. You can take the ferry from Dublin to Liverpool and drive south-west to Pembroke, where you can rest before continuing your journey. Pembroke, Gloucester, Lacock, Eastbourne and Brighton will be your last stops on this magical tour.
Freshwater West Beach
Here lies Dobby, a free elf.
One of the saddest moments in film history ends here. After saving Harry and his friends from certain death, Dobby -wounded by Bellatrix' dagger- dies in Harry's arms saying his last words: "Such a beautiful place to be with his friend. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter."
​
Gloucester Cathedral
"The chamber of secrets has been opened."
For me the most beautiful cathedral. Especially the ceiling makes it stand out. Here you can find the wall where the quote above was written upon, the corridor in which McGonagall sends Harry and Ron to potions class and the place Harry was eavesdropping on Snape and Malfoy.
Lacock
"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
This tragic and meaningful question revealing Snape's love for Lily and his regret, is filmed at Lacock Abbey, which also was used for several corridor shots and contains the room where the Mirror of Erised is hidden. Unfortunately I was late for Lacock Abbey and could not take any photos. The scenes in Budleigh Babberton were also made in Lacock. You can find Slughorn's hideout as well as the Potter's house from the first movie.
Eastbourne
"Why is everybody standing around that mankey old boot?"
His first time using a port key is not very enjoyable for Harry. But that is a price he loves to pay to get to the Quidditch World Cup. When Mister Weasley and the Diggorys land in Mary Poppins style you can see the Seven Sisters, a series of chalk cliffs, in the background. A worthy place to end your Harry Potter journey.
