Potter Around Britain
24/01/2001

The current locations of the filming in the UK of Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone may be shrouded in secrecy, but the British Tourist
Authority is gearing up for a big push once the movie is released. An
official tourist trail is planned for next year, with the slogan 'Why Don't
You Potter Around Britain?'.

There are plenty of places for Potter spotters to choose from, with
locations in London, Oxford, Berkshire, and Durham, among many others. With
the huge success of the books internationally, it seems there would be no
shortage of visitors to the UK who would want to see the places which
doubled for Hogwarts, Gringotts and Picket Post Close.

for more details.

So...planning for HPTour may not be all that hard!
