Article:
Alnwick castle, the building used for Hogwarts castle in the HP movies, was involved in a silly scandal in 2003. Mary Keen, well-known English garden designer and author, publicly accused the Duchess of Northumberland of "vanity gardening." Lady Mary, the daughter of an earl, took issue because the duchess is seeking yet more public money to further embellish her gardens at Alnwick. The duchess lashed back by calling Lady Mary a snob.
