nice, but when they stole..i mean, acquired the hogwarts express, it was said that the largest concealment charm ever performed in britain was done so i think it would be a lot easier to start small and find the leaky cauldron or better yet retrace Angus Buchanan's genealogy, he's said to have been the only squib to set foot in Hogwarts.
Filch is a squib! Everyone knows Hogwarts is in Scotland, it says so in the book!

It's in Scotland. Probably North West of Glasgow as there are a load of places it could be there.
this is what they used for shooting...lol
Well we should probaly start in Scottland North West of Glasgow, as Andrew said before.
The location of Hogwarts is somewhat vague, though it is known to be in the Scottish Highlands, near the all-wizard village of Hogsmeade.
Yeppers. The book says Scotland. But it's also hidden from Muggles so we'll never find it. :P
The castle used to film the outside scenes is Alnwick Castle in Northumberland. I always imagined it to be around the Scotland / England border somewhere.

Take a look at this link https://www.google.com/maps/@56.88063... It's clear to me that the Hogwarts express uses the Glenfinnan Viaduct on it's way to Hogwarts.
If you'll take a close look at the islands in the North Eastern end of Loch Nan Uamh (https://www.google.com/maps/@56.88803...) you'll see even more viaducts that look suspiciously familiar. Keep an eye out for flying broomsticks but I didn't see any on Google Earth.
It's probably some wizardly trick to obscure muggle satellite technology!
