Despite the Harry Potter film series ending more than a decade ago, devout fans are still going strong. After ticking off major attractions like the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter off their bucket lists, Potterheads can enjoy something new: Spending a night in a Harry Potter home — one that has the distinction of being the actual childhood house of The Boy Who Lived.

Yup, one of the houses which served as the inspiration for Harry’s home in Godric’s Hollow is now a charming bed-and-breakfast. The property, located in a small village called Lavenham, goes by the name of De Vere House.
Now, De Vere House is on Airbnb, allowing guests the opportunity to stay the night at “Harry’s home.” This Harry Potter Airbnb doesn’t feature anything Potter-related on the inside, it holds a significant place in Potter lore. Plus, this Muggle residence is set in one of the most well-preserved villages in East UK.
