The plan is, we’re going to be tour-guiding you digitally, using our expertise gleaned from walking around London and intensive research. We are going to be massively geeking out on every single one of the Harry Potter locations. We’re going chronologically through the books, starting at Privet Drive.

There’ll be drama, there’ll be excitement, there’ll be filming facts. It will be glorious!
Starting with the home where it all started, number four, Privet Drive, each episode delves into one location in the Harry Potter movies, looking at possible Muggle counterparts, insider information from interviews, and intriguing trivia about them.
