At Britain's newest and biggest attraction, magic is everywhere. And so are golden snitches. It's our job to find them amongst the detailed sets, props and costumes. Although just outside of London, The Warner Bros. Studios The Making of Harry Potter Tour feels a world away from muggle life.

Secretly have every teacher (from kindergarten to senior year) sign this book, and give to your child as a surprise on their graduation. I cannot possibly love this idea any more than I do!! Awesome! (We're going to ask the teachers to tell the child their favorite place and why.)

Leslie Koch @DowntownTravel I did notice in the film the Capitol has a sculpture that looks an awful lot like NYC's "Astor Place Cube." It may geographically be Denver but the description feels very NYC ;)
Sandra Foyt @Albany Kid Now there is an article idea - comparing cities that could be the inspiration of the Hunger Game's Capitol.
