Ever wonder where all the scenic backgrounds came from in all those popular movies? They are all beautifully attractive and it will be perfect if you could be physically there and feel the atmosphere. Yes, it is sad to say that most of them are build-up scenes or just a piece of backdrop with effects added on the later stage, but do you know that some do actually exist and they are a legit place hidden around the world!

Located at the junction of Great Scotland Yard and Scotland Place, there is a spot where a red phone box is placed where Harry and Mr. Weasley used it as a visitor entrance to enter to the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter: The Order of Phoenix. Too bad the red box is actually only a prop where it was removed after the filming is done.

-Alnwick Castle, Hogwarts

Several parts of the castle were used in the filming of Harry Potter. Among them, the outer bailey was used as a place where the flying class with Madam Hooch is conducted while the inner bailey was used to film the place where the students and staff go through their daily activities.

Never thought that this iconic movie scene is a real place? There are 37 hobbit holes and all of them are picture-perfect spots. Besides, you can also walk around this place, get a drink or buy some souvenirs.

The Snowdon Forest, being one part of the Fangforn forest, it is an open and grassy valley where Gandalf the White is found. Remember to wear a pair of hiking shoes so you could search for the exact spot where the movie is filmed.

This bizarre and eerie rock pillars (a.k.a Path to the Death) formed naturally over 7 million years ago is definitely worth visiting. It has a creepy-looking element and there is a nearby campsite where you can take a rest and get your profile pic changed!
