| | |  Harry Potter a top tourist attraction
It may seem fairly obvious, but Visit Britain have found, in a poll, that Harry Potter came 3rd in a list of things that attracted tourists to the U.K. Quote: 3. Harry Potter
The boy wizard is attracting people of every nationality, in record numbers, to sights all over the country. Weren’t we looking for a new statue in Trafalgar Square a while back? Who’s a better-known war hero than Potter?

I'm not surprised at all, but still, it's great to know 
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Minister's Office | you live your life just once, so don't forget about a thing called love.
Hmmm, that's coool! Though, myself, I'm not drawn to want to go to England JUST because HP was there. I want to go because it's got pretty cool buildings and I've wanted to go to England since like, FOREVER.
