'We bought Harry Potter house and fans in costume drive us crazy'

The people who own the family home that Harry Potter famously lived in have spoken about the constant attention from fans. With the series of films having recently been added to Netflix interest in them has risen greatly.

The house in Bracknell, Berkshire, was used as the Dursley’s fictional home in Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. It was then recreated in a film studio to make it easier for filming, in the Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows films.

As such it has got a place in the hearts of many Harry Potter superfans - and this has had quite an impact on the people who live there. The current owners bought the home in 2016 and since then have had a constant stream of adults and children coming to see it - some clad in Hogwarts’ black robes to recreate scenes outside.
