Decades later, nostalgia and fans are still very much present. We can feel it well, just at the beginning of this year with the anniversary show broadcast on SALTO bringing together main actors, including Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe, "Harry Potter: back to Hogwarts", celebrating the 20 years since the release of the first film.

No need to go far to relive the magic

So, it's in Brittany that Manuel Roussel plans to transform part of his castle Le Rocher-Portail, a nationally classified historical monument located in Saint-Brice-en-Coglès, into a real-life Hogwarts. The owner is remodeling one of his barns to make it identical to the famous dining hall where Harry and his wizard friends dined every day.

.

The man explains that he had the idea to recreate the Great Hall as soon as he bought the mansion. The frame and its massive fireplace immediately reminded him of the atmosphere of Harry Potter.

An opening for the fall 2022 holidays

To ensure that everything is in perfect harmony with the spirit of the saga, Manuel Roussel consulted the fans for advice. The program includes specific decorations to best respect the Harry Potter universe, as well as the use of new technologies. But even though the work has already begun, it will still take some patience before one can explore the premises.
