author:Study abroad in Huiying

We often have the illusion that everything will remain the same as a child, but when the deceased person leaves, we will find out how time is passing.

On the 14th local time, British actor and "Harry Potter" series of movies Hagrid played by Robbie Cotrani died at the age of 72, and his agent confirmed the news.

Many fans are saddened by the news, but as Robbie said, "Hagrid is still there" and the wizarding world isn't really far away.

The HP Wizarding World is now almost part of the UK, and for British students, there is much more to check in.

Scottish Highland steam train

In the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a flying Ford Angria lands on the Glenfinnan Viaduct, in the West Highlands of Scotland, between Fort William and Mallaig.

If you plan to take the train in person, rather than taking a panoramic view of the bridge from afar, we recommend going between May and October: during this time, you can take the special steam train Jacobite train.

Edinburgh · Elephant Cafe

The Elephant Cafe is the starting point of the wizarding world: here Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The café is plastered with photos of Rowling writing here, various Harry Potter news clippings, and alumni check-in messages.

Sadly, around July last year, the Elephant Cafe experienced a fire. And due to financial disputes, the café has barely begun rebuilding work.

Bodleian Library, Oxford

In the movie, Harry Potter secretly sneaked into the forbidden book area here in the middle of the night to check information. In reality, the Bodleian Library is the most famous library at Oxford University and one of the oldest in Europe.

The library was the largest in the UK for a long time in terms of the number of collections, and was not surpassed by the British Library until the 60s of the last century. In addition to the traces of HP magic, everyone also has the opportunity to see precious manuscripts and ancient books and feel the strong humanistic atmosphere.

Quidditch Society

Most British schools have Quidditch clubs, and it's a good opportunity to bring a broom (or stick) to the green field to work out and mingle – or bump into your peers.

Participating in school clubs can help you meet more friends outside of class and participate more deeply in study abroad life, so Huiying Xiaobian recommends trying it when time and energy permit.
