Here's the link to the map, put out by Visit Britain. It was released a few days
after the movie. My son, daughter, and I visited many of the sites last
summer, having pieced together our own itinerary based on press coverage of
the filming. It was great fun.

BTW, the Scottish tourist bureau is upset because the map an dbrochure don't
include any sites in Scotalnd. After al, Rowling wrote the books in a coffee
shop in Edinburgh, and Hogwarts is apparently in Scotland. But since the
brochure is about the film, and not much of the film was made in Scotland,
apparently it was overlooked.
