Potterverse film articles starting in the British press
EXAMPLE:
Hogwarts and all
If Harry Potter's world is a fantasy, it's a peculiarly British one.
Which is why there was nowhere more appropriate to shoot the film
than in the UK's cathedrals, castles and suburbs. Gareth McLean joins

the Bodleian Library - in all its delicate, ornately carved glory -
is one of the locations used for the filming of Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone. While it might raise a few donnish eyebrows
should a lifesize cardboard cut-out of the boy wizard turn up
alongside the library catalogue, it is surely a merchandising
opportunity too good for the university to miss. For, come November
16
the Bodleian (which first opened to readers in 1602) may well be
attracting visitors who aren't there to see the Drake Chair, made of
timbers from Sir Francis's vessel, or one of the country's finest
examples of the late Gothic or perpendicular English architectural
style. They'll be there to ooh and aah at the spaces that doubled as
Hogwarts infirmary, dining room and library, even if the university
doesn't publicise its links to the film.
