With its ivy-clad structures and overgrown hindered paths, it is the perfect blend of creepy and ominous. Located in North London, the Highgate Cemetery is a prominent Victorian burial ground. The glittering location is once again a source of magic, adapted to the 1920s with shop gleaming with items reminiscent of the time period. Home to Diagon Alley during the Harry Potter series, the market is also doubled as the French market in the film.
If you are a Potterhead, then Leadenhall Market is sure to ring a bell. Quite surprisingly though, all the scenes taking place in Paris were shot in the UK and in Warner Bros. Newt Scamander, after foraying through New York in the earlier part, adventures through the French capital to bring down evil dark wizard, Grindelwald. The film, a continuation of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, was primarily set in three cities - London and Paris. As per Pottermore, it is explained that the Woolworth Building is big enough to house both No-Majs and wizarding folk, “if one activated the right spells.”įantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them: Crimes of Grindelwald The towering skyscraper, which is known for its neo-Gothic style, was reportedly chosen by JK Rowling, especially when she spotted the carving of an owl on its archway. The archway outside which Scamander is reprimanded and caught by is Tina Goldstein is, in reality, the entrance to the Woolworth Building in New York. The headquarters of MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) in New York may be a fictional institution, but its entrance certainly is not. It may be converted to a five-star hotel in the future, as per their website. The film location in question was actually the old and now disused Martins Bank on the corner of 4 Water Street in Liverpool. In the opening scene in the bank, we see Scamander in a giant bank as he bumps into character Jacob Kowalski for the first time. These adventures on the make-believe 5 th Avenue of New York actually take place inside The Cunard Building in Liverpool.īuilt in the style of an Italian palazzo (palace), the building now lends its ground floor to the British Music Experience. In the film, Newt Scamander tries to track down an escaped creature in the popular department store Macy’s. When it is not a filming set for blockbuster fantasy films, the grand hall is a venue for organ concerts, weddings and even homecoming of the city’s football team.
In Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, New York senator (and spoiler alert: bad guy) Henry Shaw gives a campaign speech a political rally inside the real-life St George’s Hall on Liverpool’s Lime Street. The film, played by protagonist New Scamander (actor Eddie Redmayne) was set in New York in the 1920s, but the shooting actually took place in sets in the UK and in Liverpool. It’s best to begin our search where the action first began. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them: Part 1
