Google Maps offers a virtual tour of Harry Potter's Diagon Alley
Google Maps Street View now offers a
chance to explore the famous fictional marketplace, Diagon Alley, that appeared
in Harry Potter movies.
Street View
now offers a 360 degrees view of Warner Brothers studio in UK that features the
elaborate Diagon Alley set, that took 3 months to build. Around six months were
spent creating 20,000 different items and packages that are scattered across
the set. The tour is extremely detailed and even offers a view of prominent
shops Ollivanders Wand shop, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes (or Weasley and Weasley)
Joke shop, and Mr. Mulpepper's Apothecary that appear in the movie series.
The virtual tour through Street View allows all Harry potter fans to explore the fabled marketplace without the need to visit the Warner Brothers studios physically and relieve the tale of their favourite fictional characters.While Google Street View offers 360-degree tours of leading landmarks across the world, UNESCO world heritage sites, leading universities and even commercial establishments like Burj Khalifa, this would be the first time it's offering a tour of a movie studio set.
However, it had previously offered a Street View tour of the island of Hashima off the coast of Nagasaki Prefecture in Japan which was used as the villain's secret island hideout in the recent James Bond movie Skyfall. It offers street imagery of the island including that of places beyond the cordoned-off areas for tourists around the island.
