Did anyone notice that there was a mention of church bells at
Christmas in "Deathly Hallows?" Harry and Hermione were in or near the
fictional village of Godric's Hollow at the time.
This is the Wikipedia entry about its possible location:
>>As for the village's exact location, there was speculation that
Godric's Hollow is somewhere in Wales because when carrying baby Harry
from Godric's Hollow to Little Whinging, Surrey, Rubeus Hagrid flew over
Bristol — which is near the border between England and Wales. As Rowling
was born and lived around the Bristol area, later moving to Chepstow,
Wales, it is a possibility that Godric's Hollow could in fact be based
on one of the locations she grew up in, perhaps Winterbourne, South
Gloucestershire or Tutshill in the Forest of Dean. The references to
this area of the United Kingdom in the books make them all a
possibility. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Godric's Hollow is
stated as being "the West Country village", confirming it to be in the
West Country of England.<<
