<< This castle is great! Obviously not as big as Hogwarts but...anyway 
 the Kitchen and Servants Hall would be perfect for the the school's 
 House Elves IMO! (Not that they'll ever get around to making GoF into 
 a movie though) >>

Oh, I thought those were perfect for the house elves too!  There's also a 
great hall and a baronial hall and an *octagonal* !! drawing room (what a fun 
Gryffindor common room that would make!).  And the pic I have in the Durham 
guide shows it nicely situated by a lake and all.  I'll ask my friend 
Lorraine in Durham (the one who saw the filming in Durham Cathedral) a bit 
more about it if y'all would like.  I think she may have worked there in her 
high school days (or maybe it was Durham Castle ... can't remember which, but 
I will ask). 
 
<< BTW, what does everyone think of the "artistic" renditions of  Hogwarts on 
the WB merchandise. It has about a million windows and  loads of towers. Not 
at all realistic but then what can you expect...  >>

No, it's not very realistic.  But it is lots and lots of fun to look at!  

Oh, one more thing about Raby that I might have failed to mention ... it's 
quite closely connected with the Nevilles! ;)

Love & Light,
