Movie Locations, Disney Backgrounds You Can Actually Visit Around The World. by Explorers(m): 4:15am On Sep 17, 2015 |
1. Alnwick Castle, Harry Potter. Every kid who has grown up with the Harry Potter book series has dreamed about getting that fated letter and going to Hogwarts. While there are no classes or wand-waving at Alnwick Castle, it is the location where the first two Harry Potter movies The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets were filmed. Visitors may recognize Alnwick Castle’s courtyard as the field where the famous first flying lesson takes place. Alnwick Castle has also played a major role throughout history it was one of the most important locations in the infamous War of the Roses between the houses of York and Lancaster. Specifically, it was one of three major castles that Queen Margaret (who was supported by the Lancastrians) managed to recapture after her husband Henry was forced from his throne by the Yorkists. source: http://listverse.com/2014/08/03/10-popular-film-locations-you-can-visit-in-real-life/

2. Matamata(Shire), The Lord Of The Rings. Most Lord of The Rings fans know that the beautiful landscape that is portrayed in the movies was filmed on the island of New Zealand, but many don’t know much about the area itself. Most of the scenes for the Shire were shot in the town of Matamata, and a nearby farm became the location for the tourist attraction of Hobbiton, though parts of ithave been closed for the filming of the three prequels that are based on Tolkien’s first book, The Hobbit. There are several Lord of the Rings sites in this area, including the Green Dragon Inn and 17 actual Hobbit holes (there were originally 37) carved into the hills. The town is also known for its thriving race horse breeding and racing industry. 1 Like 1 Share

3. Angel Falls, Canaima, Venezuela "UP". If you didn’t cry just a little bit during the Pixar movie Up, you might not have a soul. The story of a man desperate to fulfill the childhood dream that he and his now-deceased wife had of building a home on the mystical Paradise Falls is indeed a beautiful one. However, the waterfalls that they’re based on are just as breathtaking. Angel Falls is the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall at over 900 meters (3,000 ft) high. Located in Venezuela, the falls are named after the pilot Jimmy Angel, who discovered them when his plane stalled near their peak. He and his three passengers, including his wife Marie, were forced to descend down on foot a trek that took 11 days. When he died, his ashes were scattered over the falls. Of course, Angel Falls is just the European name the original name is Kerepakupai Vena, which means “waterfall of the deepest place.”

6. Hogwarts, Harry Potter. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter film series is actually a few locations around England. Christ Church College and Cathedral in Oxford were used for its 16th-century stone staircase, and the design of its dining hall inspired Hogwarts' Great Hall; Gloucester Cathedral wasused for the school's hallways in the first two films. Lacock Abbey near Chippenham in Wiltshire was used for a number of Hogwarts’ classrooms and Bodleian Library of Oxford University, Fourth Form Room of Harrow Old Schools in Greater London, and Alnwick Castle in Northumberland were all locations used to bring Hogwarts alive on the big screen. source: http://m.mentalfloss.com/article.php?id=60109 2 Likes
