Still waiting for your letter to arrive by owl (猫头鹰)? Don't worry. You can still lose yourself in the magical world of Harry Potter,just by following this four-day route.
Day 1 Overview Edinburgh
It was in Scotland's capital city that J.K. Rowling started to plot the adventures of Harry and his fellows. With stoned streets,winding alleys (小巷) and medieval(中世纪的) architecture,the city certainly has a few things in common with the settings from the books and films. She wrote the early chapters in various cafes around the city's Old Towns.
Day 2 Overview travel to Fort William
Travel by train from Edinburgh to Glasgow and from there, and you can take the West Highland Line to Fort William. This is a great way to see some famous spots from the window, including the mysterious Rannoch Moor,the place where Death Eaters board the train in the movie Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.
Day 3 Overview all aboard the Hogwarts express
Witness the sweeping cinematic scenery straight out of the eight successful films by booking a seat on the Jacobite Steam Train, which travels from Fort William to Mallaig along the West Highland Line. Stop for lunch in Mallaig and then make the return journey to Fort William.Please be sure to book the steam train in advance, as it is a very popular experience. It opens for the season in April.
Day 4 Overview lakes and valleys
In the films,mysterious,misty landscapes frame (衬托)the background of Harry's tale,so it's no surprise that the producers chose the Highlands for many scenes. Spend a day wandering through some of these beautiful spots and feel the magical atmosphere.
