I agree.  I think that any and all of England should be able to use 
Harry Potter to attract visitors!  I for one would love a Harry 
Potter themed amusement park/ shopping area.  How about a Hogwarts 
Castle that you could tour, a Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley shopping 
area, an assortment of rides based on the Chamber of Secrets, the 
Triwizard Championship, etc.  I've never been to England, but that 
would be a sure way to get me packing my bags!
