Lacock village — Lacock, Wiltshire

On screen
Harry and Dumbledore apparate at night into a sleepy English village and walk to the house where Horace Slughorn is hiding, disguised as an armchair. Dumbledore uses Harry as bait to lure him back to teach at Hogwarts.
The place today
A medieval village almost entirely owned by the National Trust. Walking around is free, with a large car park by the abbey. Slughorn’s house and the Church Street cottage are private: look from the street only.
Did you know? The first film shot in the village too: according to the National Trust, the house at 20 Church Street is Harry’s parents’ home in Godric’s Hollow. Today it is let as a holiday cottage.
