Post 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?

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.

Well heck, that's why I'd go to the UK. I'd want to stop around and see all the cool things in Britain from the movies! Plus all the amazing sights!
