I actually enjoy the movie versions because of the locations. I often find that I am concentrating more on the background and wishing I was there. I'm not talking about the special effects, but the real scenes of Scotland and England.

Some of the Harry Potter films were shot at Alnwick castle(pronounced annik) not far from Newcastle. Here are a couple of photos I took on a visit recently.
This is the castle as you approach

This is inside the curtain wall and was seemingly where they filmed those scenes where they fly about on broomsticks (sorry my Harry Potter knowledge is abysmal)

This is another view from the curtain wall. Sorry about the quality, maybe some magic going on.
