Info about the study's methodology
The data was taken from the Internet Movie Data base (IMDb). For each country in the EU, the top 100 films shot in each country were selected according to the number of votes on IMDb. To include the most popular films of all time, the 200 most popular films by title were also included in the list by Numbers. The data for the titles is based on information from IMDb. All films that scored lower than 6 overall on IMDb’s scale, or that were filmed in a studio were removed. The following genres were not included: Animation, Documentaries, Film Noir, and Musicals. In addition to the films, the 35 most popular series in Europe were identified using Google and examined on IMDb to create a list of filming locations. The addresses of the films and series were used to determine longitude and latitude using Google Maps. It should be noted that the addresses were not always specific, in some cases either a street name, city or country was given. Only addresses with at least an area or street reference were stored. In some cases, the location information is not accurate at the street level. It should also be noted that all filming locations were taken from IMDb, so the information is only as accurate as given on the platform.

Film Route: The virtual Harry Potter tour
Probably the most famous wizard story of all time and it just never gets old. Harry Potter and the world of witchcraft and wizardry has been a big part of many childhoods for the last 20 years. But the success does not come undeservedly. In addition to the captivating story, the film series impressed its audience visually by using a large variety of scenic filming locations located throughout the UK. On a Harry Potter tour, a detour to the Potter Museum in London is not to be missed. Since magic fans will find almost everything about the Hogwarts student there, we have taken the destination with us on our Potter tour, even if it is not a destination in the classic sense. From filming in the historic London market, which was used for the shots of Diagon alley, to the Scottish Highlands, which served as the location for Hagrid’s hut. Just about every scene in the fantasy series was shot in Great Britain, with only a few exceptions. Potter-heads can find scenes from the sixth film called ""Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"" in Bjorli, Norway, as well as at the Cliffs of Moher and Lemon Rock in Ireland. The last film, ""Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"", even had a film scene in the south of Germany, in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
