Harry Potter est \u00e9troitement li\u00e9 \u00e0 la ville de Londres ; par les nombreux sites de tournage de film et par les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences au folklore anglo-saxon. Les guides Blue Badge proposent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des visites sur le th\u00e8me d\u2019Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres ; voici en 10 points ce qui pourrait vous \u00e9tonner le plus:<\/p>\n

1. Beaucoup d\u2019\u00e9quipes de Quidditch se sont form\u00e9es \u00e0 Londres; on compte notamment celles des \u2018London Unspeakables\u2019 et de leurs adversaires, les Loups-Garous. Les r\u00e8gles du jeu s\u2019inspirent \u00e0 la fois de celles pour le rugby, pour le jeu du chat et pour la balle aux prisonniers ; les Londoniens sont de grands amateurs de Quidditch.<\/p>\n

2. Dans une sc\u00e8ne du film du Prisonnier d\u2019Azkaban, Harry Potter monte dans le Magicobus pour se rendre \u00e0 Londres ; le v\u00e9hicule est une version \u00e0 trois \u00e9tages du fameux bus \u00e0 imp\u00e9riale \u00e0 deux niveaux, appel\u00e9 le \u2018Red London. Routemaster\u2019. Ces bus apparurent en 1956 ; aujourd\u2019hui, vous pouvez prendre le num\u00e9ro 15 pour suivre le circuit historique de la ville de la Tour de Londres \u00e0 Charing Cross.<\/p>\n

3. Au cours d\u2019une visite au Domaine des reptiles du Jardin zoologique de Londres, Harry Potter lib\u00e8re par accident un boa constricteur qui lui jette un clin d\u2019\u0153il furtif avant de terroriser Dudley ; cependant, rappelez-vous que les serpents n\u2019ont pas de paupi\u00e8res, et ne peuvent donc pas cligner des yeux!<\/p>\n

4. Les sc\u00e8nes de film repr\u00e9sentant le Minist\u00e8re de la magie ont \u00e9t\u00e9 tourn\u00e9es juste \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 des minist\u00e8res actuels du gouvernement britannique le long de Whitehall. Au cours de la visite, votre guide pr\u00e9sentera l\u2019architecture imp\u00e9riale de ces b\u00e2timents administratifs ainsi que celle des alentours ; la grande place de Trafalgar Square ou l\u2019esplanade de Horse Guards Parade.<\/p>\n

5. Deux sites de tournage ont \u00e9t\u00e9 utilis\u00e9s pour filmer le pub du Chaudron baveur qu\u2019Harry Potter visite pour se rendre au Chemin de Traverse ; tous les deux se trouvent dans les anciens march\u00e9s de Londres. Alors que le march\u00e9 de Leadenhall remonte au 14\u00e8me si\u00e8cle, celui de Borough est encore plus ancien et aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 fond\u00e9 vers 1014. Aujourd\u2019hui, Borough Market est aussi bien un temple de la gastronomie qu\u2019un march\u00e9 alimentaire pour la vente en gros et au d\u00e9tail. C\u2019est ici aussi que Bridget Jones avait son appartement dans le film Bridget Jones\u2019 Diary.<\/p>\n

6. Les r\u00e9alisateurs d\u2019Harry Potter aiment toujours ajouter une touche de r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019imaginaire de leurs films: dans l\u2019Ordre du Ph\u00e9nix, les Mangemorts m\u00e8nent une attaque contre Londres et survolent si rapidement un pont-pi\u00e9ton que celui-ci commence \u00e0 vaciller de plus en plus fortement, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019il s\u2019\u00e9croule. La sc\u00e8ne renvoie \u00e0 l\u2019ouverture officielle en l\u2019an 2000 du pont du Mill\u00e9naire (Millenium Bridge) \u00e0 Londres ; celui-ci se mit \u00e0 vaciller vertigineusement lorsqu\u2019une foule importante le traversa pour la premi\u00e8re fois en m\u00eame temps. Heureusement, ce pont-ci ne s\u2019effondra pas et, apr\u00e8s quelques r\u00e9ajustements m\u00e9caniques, il est aujourd\u2019hui une des travers\u00e9es de la Tamise les plus utilis\u00e9es, et l\u2019une des plus spectaculaires.<\/p>\n

\"The Le pont du Mill\u00e9naire, autrefois instable, vu de la Tamise, en direction de la cath\u00e9drale Saint-Paul. Cr\u00e9dit photo: \u00a9 London & Partners. <\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

7. De nombreuses ruelles de Londres auraient inspir\u00e9 JK Rowling, dont le passage de Cecil Court. Bord\u00e9 de part et d\u2019autre de belles fa\u00e7ades victoriennes avec des fen\u00eatres en baie, il est \u00e9clair\u00e9 par de jolies lampes \u00e0 gaz ; avec ce charme d\u2019antan, le Chemin de Traverse ressemble \u00e9tonnamment au passage de Cecil Court. Certains pensent que ce passage ressemble aussi \u00e0 l\u2019all\u00e9e des embrumes, o\u00f9 Harry Potter d\u00e9bouche apr\u00e8s avoir emprunt\u00e9 le r\u00e9seau de Cheminette dans la Chambre des secrets.<\/p>\n

8. Les dragons jouent un r\u00f4le tr\u00e8s important dans le monde d\u2019Harry Potter, comme d\u2019ailleurs \u00e0 Londres et dans toute l\u2019Angleterre. Des statues de dragon montent la garde \u00e0 chaque entr\u00e9e principale \u00e0 la Cit\u00e9 de Londres depuis les ann\u00e9es 1800. Cet animal fantastique renvoie \u00e0 l\u2019histoire de Saint Georges, le saint patron de l\u2019Angleterre, lequel, selon la l\u00e9gende, tua un dragon qui mena\u00e7ait une princesse en d\u00e9tresse.<\/p>\n

\"City Dragon marquant les limites de la Cit\u00e9 de Londres. Cr\u00e9dit photo: \u00a9 Ursula Petula Barzey<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

9. On pense que les druides sont les premiers pr\u00eatres-sorciers ; aujourd\u2019hui encore, ils se rassemblent \u00e0 Stonehenge pour f\u00eater le solstice d’\u00e9t\u00e9. Lorsqu\u2019Harry Potter a commenc\u00e9 sa collection de cartes des Ma\u00eetres sorciers et sorci\u00e8res, on peut reconnaitre la femme druide Cliodna sur l\u2019une des cartes.<\/p>\n

10. La raison pour laquelle JK Rowling choisit la gare de King’s Cross comme lieu principal pour les histoires d\u2019Harry Potter est que ses parents se rencontr\u00e8rent l\u00e0 pour la premi\u00e8re fois. A l\u2019int\u00e9rieur de cette gare, vous trouverez une copie du chariot \u00e0 bagages d\u2019Harry Potter encastr\u00e9 dans le mur reconstruit du quai no. 9 3\/4 ; prenez-vous en photo \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9!<\/p>\n

Before becoming a professional Blue Badge Tourist Guide Chas served as a London police officer for 30 years rising to be a Superintendent at Scotland Yard and then was second-in-command of a London Borough. With his degree in engineering and police service Chas brings a rich and varied backstory to the world of guiding. \u00a0 His tour guiding ability was recently recognised by an award for his \u201coutstanding contribution to the culture of Sutton Borough\u201d. Many of his clients love discussing the British way of life and the role of the police whilst on tour with him. More details can be found on his company website\u00a0ReallyInterestingTours.com Chas can take you on a walking tour, use public transport or drive you in his E class Mercedes as he is a registered driver guide. He can take you to his specialist destinations: Winston Churchill was arguably one of the most enigmatic men of modern times. A trip to his underground command bunker in London\u2019s Churchill War Rooms or Chartwell (his country home in Kent) will allow Chas to explain what made Churchill the man he was. Learn how despite his personal difficulties and the stresses of World War II Churchill became the man of the moment. London offers fabulous landmark sites such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London and many, many more. Chas will use the features of these (and other) buildings to tell the unique history of London and the UK, weaving in stories that will bring it to life. The eclectic mix offered by London\u2019s Victoria and Albert Museum captivates Chas. Using the museum\u2019s recreated rooms Chas will explain renaissance and British life. Giant plaster casts such as the replica of the entire Portico Della Gloria from Santiago Cathedral, Spain allow Chas to demonstrate the importance of religious symbolism on life. Learn how objects of curiosity like a tiny but exquisite salt-cellar became discussion points and status symbols for the aristocracy. Further afield the 5000 year old mystical structure of Stonehenge continues to intrigue archaeologists but with Chas\u2019 engineering background the story of how these 40 ton stones were erected to become a World Heritage Site brings Stonehenge to life in all it\u2019s glory. The range of sites within and beyond London to visit with Chas is impressive and extensive including: the Baroque splendour of St Pauls Cathedral, a highlights tour of London\u2019s National Gallery or the British Museum, the Roman baths and Georgian life in Bath, the dreaming spires of Oxford, the glories and stories of Winchester and Salisbury cathedrals. Or why not compare and contrast Windsor Castle with Hampton Court Palace.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.reallyinterestingtours.com\",\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reallyinterestingtours\/\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/author\/chasbailey\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres : 10 faits surprenants! | Guide London","description":"D\u00e9couvrez Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres avec les nombreux lieux de tournage et les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences au folklore de toute la s\u00e9rie d\u2019histoires.","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/","og_locale":"fr_FR","og_type":"article","og_title":"Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres : 10 faits surprenants! | Guide London","og_description":"D\u00e9couvrez Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres avec les nombreux lieux de tournage et les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences au folklore de toute la s\u00e9rie d\u2019histoires.","og_url":"http:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/","og_site_name":"Guide London","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GuideLondonAPTG","article_author":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reallyinterestingtours\/","article_published_time":"2021-04-05T21:24:55+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-04-16T21:47:05+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1440,"height":1920,"url":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Harry-Potter_Leadenhall-Market-main-arcade.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Chas Bailey","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@guidelondon","twitter_site":"@guidelondon","twitter_misc":{"\u00c9crit par":"Chas Bailey","Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e":"5 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/","url":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/","name":"Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres : 10 faits surprenants! | Guide London","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.guidelondon.org.uk\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.guidelondon.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Harry-Potter_Leadenhall-Market-main-arcade.jpg","datePublished":"2021-04-05T21:24:55+00:00","dateModified":"2021-04-16T21:47:05+00:00","author":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.guidelondon.org.uk\/#\/schema\/person\/53bda7819d9bbba7cdd51d21b337c833"},"description":"D\u00e9couvrez Harry Potter \u00e0 Londres avec les nombreux lieux de tournage et les r\u00e9f\u00e9rences au folklore de toute la s\u00e9rie d\u2019histoires.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"fr-FR","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-FR","@id":"https:\/\/mail.guidelondon.org.uk\/fr\/blog-fr\/autour-de-londres\/harry-potter-a-londres-10-faits-surprenants\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.guidelondon.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Harry-Potter_Leadenhall-Market-main-arcade.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.guidelondon.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Harry-Potter_Leadenhall-Market-main-arcade.jpg","width":1440,"height":1920,"caption":"Leadenhall Market, main arcade.
