That's it!  Thanks so much for the info, I knew someone was bound to know exactly what I was looking for!

It's not exactly entirely HP related, but not far off. :)  I've wanted to go to Ireland for years.  My mother's preferance has always been England.  Since HP I've suddenly developed an incredible desire to visit England as well. :)  Since we usually travel together, this works out.  I usually pay a large sum of the trip, so she's got to keep me happy.  We may have another friend traveling with us, who's been to England 5 or 6 times and she likes visiting any castle, cathedral, abbey, etc.  So most of the HP filming locations will appeal to them as well (convenient for me!).  However, I do think that the moment I try to ram a cart into the barrier between platforms four and five at King's Cross, they'll probably abandon me. :)

Oh, and I'm afraid I'm forced to travel in June, as I can only travel when school's out, and it never lets out before the end of May.  Quite annoying.  Which is why I'm on such a strict schedule and must plan my trip out to the minute, thus beginning this far in advance in planning!

As far as renting a car, is it that difficult to drive on the left side of the road when one is used to the right?  (and opposite sides of the car as well, of course!)

Well, thanks again for the info!
