I live in the Harry Potter house — fans cry outside my door
Fans of the beloved “Harry Potter” series are flocking to a house in Bracknell, Berkshire, England, that was used as the childhood home of the titular wizard in the fictional town of Little Whinging in Surrey.

The actual homeowners have reported that fans show up to their house “every day” and some even climb their fence and knock on the door. Despite the commotion, the homeowners remain accommodating of the fans and even move their car so visitors can get the perfect photo.
