Hogwarts, for obvious reasons. Hogsmeade because I love the idea of an entire Magical village.
Also, I chose Spinner's End. Not that I think it was anything spectacular (it obviously wasn't), but it's such an integral part of Snape's life, both who he was as a child and who he grew up to be.
Honorable mention for Diagon Alley. It wasn't mentioned in the poll, but it always seemed like a fascinating place!
How could I have forgotten Diagon Alley? It is my dream location to visit, not least for the bookshops! I have now added this and Knockturn Alley to the poll, alongside 'Other'.
For me Diagon's Alley and Hogwarts. I loved the description of those places since the Philosopher's stone and those places remain my favourite since then for representing the splendor, mystery and attraction of the Wizarding World.
I love Hogwarts because it's a whole castle and I really enjoy occupying my imagination by thinking about what it would actually be like to live there - the tiny staircases, the drafty corridors. The smell of damp earth in the dungeons. Having to find your way around as an 11 year old. I think it's a fabulous, terrifying place.
I also picked 'other' because I actually really like Azkaban. It terrifies me, it was such a powerful location. You really feel the bleak hopelessness, the despair. To me it really feels like the worst sort of medieval dungeon - more of an oubliette than a prison.
