Even though the last of the Harry Potter films has long been out of theaters, there are still plenty of fans - both kids and adults - who just can't say goodbye to the young wizard and his friends. If you're still looking for the Harry Potter "castle" (aka Hogwarts), you'll have to travel a bit. It's made up of bits and pieces of castles, cathedrals and university dining halls all over Britain. Why not plan an itinerary around the Harry Potter film locations in England and Scotland to re-immerse yourselves in Harry's magical world.

01 of 06 Travel to Hogwarts over the Glenfinnan Viaduct on the West Highlands Railway Jeff J Mitchell / Getty Images View Map Address North Hanover Street , Glasgow G1 2AF , UK Get directions Web Visit website Harry Potter regularly traveled across the dark forboding hills of the Western Highlands of Scotland on the way to Hogwards. The 42 mile stretch of rail, between Fort William and Mallaig, passes through much of the scenery seen in the films, including Ben Nevis-the highest mountain in Britain, Loch Shiel and Glen Nevis - backdrop for the Quidditch scenes. The journey takes about an hour and twenty minutes and costs (in 2017 prices - if booked well in advance) £7 each way. Of course, without special film effects, it's a lot less menacing but the area has its own dark history. It was from Glenfinnan, about midway on the journey, that Bonnie Prince Charlie launched the ill-fated Jacobite Revolt in an attempt to put his father on the throne as James III. Few of the men who marched on London from here ever returned. The impressive Glenfinnan viaduct that you travel over on this journey, crossing about 1,000 feet of the valley on 21 arches, reaching a height of about 100 feet, was the backdrop for the flying car sequence in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."

At the end of it, you won't find Hogwarts though. Mallaig is a busy fishing and ferry port, the gateway to Skye and the Smaller Isles. A better option is to travel first to Fort William, at the base of Ben Nevis, stay over and then get a fresh start to enjoy the "Harry Potter" stretch of the journey.

02 of 06 Walk the Corridors of Hogwarts at Gloucester Cathedral Heritage Images/Getty Images / Getty Images View Map Address 12 College Green , Gloucester GL1 2LX , UK Get directions Phone +44 1452 528095 Web Visit website Gloucester Cathedral has some of the finest cloisters in England with fan vaulting that rivals the naves of many other churches. They stood in for the corridors and other settings in "Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone", "Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets", and Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince". If you plan to join the Harry Potter fans from all over the world who have visited here, spend some time exploring this magnificent cathedral. Parts of it have been a place of worship for 1,300 years, since being founded as an Anglo Saxon religious community in the 7th century. There's a whispering gallery that the children will love and Cathedral guides (available Mon-Sat 10:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and Sun noon to 2:30 p.m.) can show you where different scenes were filmed. Getting there: Great Western Trains from London Paddington leave regularly. The journey takes between two and two and a half hours and costs about £36 (in 2017) when booked well in advance as two one-way tickets. Most journeys involve changing trains at Swindon Station.

04 of 06 Learn to Fly from Harry's Professors at Alnwick Castle Visit Britain/Britain on View/Getty Images View Map Address Alnwick NE66 1NQ , UK Get directions Phone +44 1665 511100 Web Visit website The second largest inhabited castle in England (pronouned An-nick, by the way), stood in for so many scenes from the Potter films that you might as well call it Hogwarts. Home of the Percy family, the Dukes of Northumberland, for more than 700 years, the castle is open to the public between April and October. Look around for scenes from "Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets" and "Harry Potter & The Philosopher Stone", both filmed here. By the way, the special effects team went to town on this place, so you may have to stretch your imagination a bit to see the "real" castle through your Muggles eyes. Getting There: Almouth railway station is 15 minutes away and served by an hourly bus service. Taxi's are also available at the railway station.

05 of 06 Stalk a Villain at Hardwick Hall Richard Bryant/Getty Images View Map Address Doe Lea , Chesterfield S44 5QJ , UK Get directions Phone +44 1246 850430 Web Visit website The much-married Bess of Hardwick who, after Queen Elizabeth I, was the biggest celebrity of the Elizabethan Age, built herself a remarkable house in the Peak District. It has so many windows and so much extraordinary glass that, that soon after it was built the rhyme, "Hardwick Hall, more glass than wall," was often said. At night, with all its rooms blazing with candles, it was said to look like a magic lantern on a hill. But on wintry mornings, surrounded by mist, the house takes on a decidedly more mysterious look; which is probably why it was chosen as the scene of considerably darker doings for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. In the film, Hardwick Hall's exteriors were the sinister stand-ins for grim Malfoy Manor. Owned by the National Trust, Hardwick Hall is considered the most complete Elizabethan house in Britain. It's open to the public and hosts a raft of family oriented events in the holiday and school vacation seasons. While you're there, visit the Chamber of Magic and become Harry Potter or Hermione with the hall's own wizard wands and capes.
