"Outdoor scenes for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were filmed in autumn of 2000, and for Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets the following year.
Harry and his fellow students learned to fly broomsticks with Madam Hooch in the courtyards here, and it's also where Harry mastered the rules of Quidditch and played his first game, and memorably where Harry and Ron crash-landed the Weasley's flying car!
Hogwarts students and staff were regularly seen going about their activities in the castle grounds, or walking through the Lion Arch out of Hogwarts towards Hagrid's cabin and the Forbidden Forest. "

"While not in Scotland, you can visit it on a day trip from Edinburgh and it's such a great HP location, we had to include it on the list!
You will recognise it from the first two Harry Potter films - it was used as the outside of Hogwarts, the location for the flying lesson in the first HP film, in the Christmas scene where Hagrid drags the Christmas Tree and many more!"

"Die Burg kann gleich fünf Auftritte in Harry Potter-Filmen vorweisen. In den Teilen 1 bis 3 sowie 6 und 7 sind Ansichten des Alnwick Castles als Außenaufnahmen von Hogwarts zu sehen. Die gute erhaltene Anlage kannst du problemlos besichtigen, ich empfehle aber eine Ticketreservierung vorab. "
