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 Harry Potter trail

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.
