Fans had the chance to immerse themselves -- albeit briefly -- in J.K. Rowling's world during the 3D portion of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. (The simultaneous IMAX release of Half-Blood Prince promises additional 3D footage.) And starting this spring, fans can explore Hogwarts courtesy of the Harry Potter Exhibition, a road show of props and costumes in full-blown movie-set displays.
But any true Seeker knows that a trip to England is a must. That's where you can find the places that inspired the visually rich settings of the Harry Potter books and movies. In fact, a quick Google search will bring up more than a dozen tour companies ready to take your money for a day's drive around London and Oxford.
For those needing a fix as they await the release of the Half-Blood Prince -- and lacking the cash to hop across the pond, or to Chicago -- we've put together a look at five Harry Potter sites likely to be seen in the upcoming movie.
