HARRY POTTER CASTLE

Two weekends ago, I had the joyous experience of visiting the castle where the first two Harry Potter films were made otherwise known as Alnwick Castle because it is near the town of Alnwick in England.

Although it doesn't look like it right in that picture, do you remember the scene where Madam Houch was teaching a young Harry Potter and his fellow first years how to ride a broomstick. Or possibly the scene where Oliver Wood is teaching Harry how to play Quidditch? Let me refresh your memory. 

Notice the castles in the background. Now look at this picture:

IT IS THE SAME ARCHITECTURE. So, for any of you Harry Potter fans reading this, isn't that COOL? Honestly, this was my main reason for attending but the castle was also really cool. It is still inhabited by the royal family from Northumberland in northeast England so people actually live here. 

The castle also had this cool treehouse thing which had a swinging bridge and was just generally very pretty. All in all the castle was cool but I couldn't help wondering how much it would be oh-so-annoying to live in this castle and have hundreds of tourists roaming around your home all the time.
