What's New
Great British Movies Coming Soon
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
The eagerly-anticipated sixth installment of the blockbuster Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, is scheduled to hit theatres July 15. Fans don't need magic to explore the wizard's home turf; they just need a good map of Britain!
Plus with loads of travel deals and discounts to the U.K., and the exchange rate so low, it's never been a better time for you to pack your magic wands, hop on your broomsticks and follow in the footsteps of Harry Potter.
A Harry Potter trip to Britain this summer will also give you a sneak peak of the Pembrokeshire "Shell Cottage" in Wales — one of the new locations to be featured in the final instalment of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, coming out next year.
