Tribute to Harry Potter

Harry Potter!!!


Harry Potter's books will be remembered by lots of kids, youngs and adults as one of the books which has left a mark on them. When I was studying at secondary school, I started reading them and continued while I was studying at university. This was the time when the films came out and I turned into a follower. 
However, It was when I was studying in England with a Erasmus scholarship, when I turned into a great great follower. Maybe, you wonder why then...I am going to tell you...

I went to visit Oxford University with some friends and we made a kind of tour for some of the places where the film was recorded as:

"Climbing the stairs to the entrance of the Great Hall, where Mrs. McGonagall met Harry Potter for the first time, as well as taking in one of Oxford’s prestige's colleges (Christchurch), before visiting Hogwart’s hospital wing and the hall where the Goblet was kept. as well as when the children practice dancing for the Yule Ball. Then, a short drive away, we enter into the corridors and gardens of Hogwart’s and stand by the tree where Mad-Eye Moody turns Malfoy into a ferret, for picking on Harry".


 I also remember the last time I visited London and I went to King's Cross Station and I saw the "Platform 9 3/4" or "St Pancras Station, where the London taxi driver leans out of his window and sees Harry and Ron flying off in the car, after missing the Hogwart's Express at King's Cross". Apart from that, you can
"Stand outside the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron which was used in the 'Sorcerers/Philosophers Stone" or you can visit "Millennium Bridge where the Death Eaters swept around the bridge and cause the muggles to fall in the rive".
