Avic Castle, also known as the Philosopher's Stone Castle, is the main filming location for Harry Potter's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was originally the castle where the Duke of Northumberland and his family lived. It is also the second largest residential castle in England and is known as the Windsor Castle of the North. Every winter, the owner and his family live in the castle, so it is not open in winter. There is an Avic Garden inside. You need to pay a ticket to enter, which is charged separately from the ticket to the castle. Sometimes you need to queue up to buy tickets, so some people give up visiting the garden. Even if you buy a ticket and go in, you can only visit for one hour. After entering the gate of the castle, you can first see the vast grassland. Many children come here and run and play everywhere and have a lot of fun. The architecture in the castle is very distinctive and classic. On a door, there is a human skeleton with its limbs locked with iron chains and nailed to the door panel. Next to it is an animal head skull, with its eyes wide open and its mouth wide open, revealing long fangs, as if it wants to swallow people. Looking at it, it is also a bit scary. There are performances at regular intervals inside the castle, including Harry Potter performances and band performances. After entering the gate, there is a notice board on the left hand side with the performance schedule. It is best to check it after entering the gate so that you have an idea in your mind, and then rush to the performance venue according to the time. We missed the wonderful performance because we did not check the schedule. The band played on the grass, with light English music and all the performers wearing traditional English dresses. The scene is worth seeing.
