Hi~ "Traveling with Movies"
Ireland’s first stop — A probe into the hometown of Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker
"For 19 years, this scar has never hurt again. Everything is fine. " — — Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
On September 1, 2017, on the platform 9 and 3/4 of King’s Cross Station in England, the children of the Porters and Weasleys boarded the train to Hogwarts again and started a new magical journey.
According to the timeline of the novel, the final battle of Hogwarts took place in 1998.
Nineteen years later, middle-aged Harry once again sent his children on a magical journey.
When the time in the magical world coincides with the real time and space, we watched the train carrying a generation of childhood and memories of youth slowly pull out of the platform, and the memory suddenly returned to the innocent youth. At that time, did you also firmly believe that you were a muggle in the real world, waiting for the admission notice from the owl to Hogwarts?
On September 1st, King’s Cross Station in London opened a special shuttle bus to Hogwarts at 11:30.
Nineteen years have passed, and the cute babies of that year have grown into beautiful or disabled adults. In reality, we may have lost our own magical world.
Let’s take this shuttle bus to Hogwarts and walk into the emerald island of Ireland to explore the magical scenes in the real world.

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the Hogwarts Library was shot in the Trinity Library, oak domes and bookshelves, tens of thousands of books and the legendary forbidden area. It is very exciting to think about it ~
Trinity Library belongs to Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. It was built in 1592. It is the oldest library in Ireland and the largest single-room library in the world. Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and other literary masters have studied here ~
Also known as "the three major libraries in Europe"
The books in it are also relatively old books in Ireland, including the Irish national treasure book of kells, which tourists come here for, but only turn one page a month ~
I don’t know if I can read one page a month in my lifetime (looking up to heaven)
When you walk indoors, you will see the long room, which will be a paradise. In this long corridor, there are more than 200,000 oldest books in the library ~
The whole library is full of classical buildings, and the promenade and high bookshelves are full of rich magic colors — —
The Hogwarts Library inside is located here, and the rows of towering bookshelves on the revolving stairs remind you of the young wizards who were still young and ignorant that year ~
There is a sentence in the book to describe this library: "The size of the books in the library alone is daunting. There are thousands of books, thousands of shelves and hundreds of narrow passages." I have to say that Rowling’s description of this library can be said to be quite realistic ~

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore takes Harry across a rough sea and looks for Voldemort’s horcrux in an isolated cave on a cliff.
The cliff in the film is the Moher Cliff at the westernmost tip of Ireland Island. The towering walls and stormy waves photographed by helicopters are extremely shocking, paving the way for this desperate search.
Located in Clare County, Ireland, Moher Cliff is the highest cliff in Europe. It stretches along the edge coastline of central and western Ireland, and the cliff with a height of more than 200 meters goes straight down, so that you can clearly count the rock layers of each layer ~
In the film, Harry Potter and Professor Dumbledore stand in the stormy sea rocks. The atmosphere is not only tense but also tragic, which makes countless fans yearn for Ireland, a sparsely populated cliff ~
Let’s also enjoy the back of the two wizards.
However, because this cliff is close to the Atlantic Ocean and there is no gentle hillside, the risk factor is still very high. Fans can’t stand on the rocks in the middle of the sea to make a guest appearance in Harry Potter, so they can only stand on the cliff and enjoy the scenery ~
Please respect yourself if you are afraid of heights.
Moher Cliff stretches 8 kilometers along the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean, so it is also the habitat of Irish seabirds. At the same time, there are many rare plant species and various caves on the cliff. Those who want to explore or enjoy the natural scenery can walk — —
In addition to the Harry Potter series, another film series, Star Wars, also chose Ireland as its location. So our Harry Potter waving a magic wand and Luke Skywalker waving a laser sword became fellow villagers.
As soon as 2015 was released, there was a whirlwind of Star Wars around the world, and countless box office records were instantly broken, including the record of more than 90 million dollars in the first weekend created by Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows and the record of North American box office.

The Star Wars series has created two unique things. The first is the construction of the whole Star Wars universe. Its position in the film is like Hyperion and Galactic Empire in science fiction. The huge universe setting challenges the limits of human imagination. It is not just a space opera, but a sci-fi epic that cannot be copied.
The second thing that makes fans around the world crazy is the Jedi Knights. The Force is with them, holding lightsabers to protect justice, and what they read is a creed that lasts for thousands of years.
No need for passion, calm your mind. Don’t follow ignorance, obey true knowledge. Don’t indulge in lust, be calm and clear. Although there is chaos, serenity still exists, there is no extinction, only the Force.
Lightsabers, the Force, the archives of Jedi knights, Skywalker, etc. These are like enchanted spells, which are imprinted in the minds of fans and cannot be erased.
It is also a natural location of the Trinity Library, and it is also a series of classic films. The Star Wars crew is not as lucky as the Harry Potter crew.Trinity College refused to shoot Star Wars because it didn’t want the library to be commercialized. ….
But unfortunately, the director is a single-minded boy, and the film will not be filmed unless the Trinity Library, so the crew spent a lot of money to produce the team.3D modeling, modeled after the Trinity Library, made an identical set. …
Yes, it’s the Jedi Archives.
Although the overall tone has been changed to a futuristic ice blue, which is not as classical and simple as the real scene, the decoration of the interior is basically copied, and even the position of the sculpture has not changed — —
Maybe the director loves this place deeply. …
In the film industry, there is no name comparable to Star Wars. The Force is with you. This line from Star Wars has become the Bible of Star Wars fans. Even with the coming winter of fire and ice, there is a kind of tribute to the shadow of Star Wars.
But what no one expected was that it was the villain who made the Jedi so charming. Darth Vader, once Skywalker, was the hope of the whole universe. Sadly, he fell into the dark Force. He had the tragic hero, the darkness of the villain, the mysterious life experience and the most unforgettable self-redemption.
Darth Vader is no longer just a simple pronunciation. He is the son of darkness, the king of the universe, and the god in the hearts of fans. Darth Vader makes Star Wars immortal and makes Darth Vader an invincible villain in the movie universe.
The long time of 40 years has not let the culture of Star Wars decline, but has recreated the planet empire 40 years ago through the near-perfect computer technology today. When the audience sat in the cinema and witnessed han solo and Tshubaka again, when the audience saw Princess Leia again, when the audience was teased by bb-8 again, when people once again realized the sound of Jedi lightsabers transpiration air, all the feelings of the past and yesterday’s stories came to mind.
At this moment, it became the most tearful movie of the year.
However, the film didn’t surpass the previous classics, because the story was too much like A New Hope, and the whole film didn’t have too many surprises, and the rendering of feelings didn’t completely cover up the weakness of the story. But at the end of the film, when Rey and Luke Skywalker met on the island, the 40-year wait proved to be worth it, and the unspeakable emotion choked my throat.
The island was set in Skellig Michael, an isolated island, located in Carey County, southwest Ireland. From the unearthed cultural relics and relics, it can be inferred that this place should be a place where Taoist priests practice, and there are no permanent residents, so it still remains very primitive ~
Built in the 7th century, the monastery on the island is one of the oldest existing monasteries in Europe. Honeycomb-like houses show the architectural style of the early Christianity, and were listed as a world cultural heritage with the whole island in 1996 ~
In addition to the church, the island is almost full of scenery, vicissitudes of stone roads, and stone peaks corroded by wind and rain. This primitive feeling and the future atmosphere of Star Wars have reached a perfect combination ~
In fact, when the Star Wars crew wanted to shoot here, the Irish government was also very flattered. After all, skellig michael is 15 kilometers away from the Irish coastline, and no one is willing to play at ordinary times, let alone make a movie with great fanfare. ..
In order to support the crew, the Irish government also set up a no-fly zone in the area of this island during the filming, so that the crew can have more space to display — —
When they saw the film, the Irish were quite shocked. They had no idea that this small island with an area of 0.18 square kilometers could shoot such a grand scene ~
Ireland’s unique art and scenery have given movie master people wings of imagination. The unique world they created is the best tribute to Ireland and a lofty praise to this beautiful land. People always admire the wonderful imagination of the masters and create one world after another that doesn’t exist, but in fact, the best is around you, waiting for you to discover. So don’t hesitate and make complicated plans, face the sun and ride the wind, and look for the philosopher’s stone that can stimulate your imagination.
