In honor of the release of the Crimes of Grindlewald (2018), Corey (@coreyrstarr), Jonathan (@berkreviews), and Michael (@servermonkey) decided to discuss their top five fictional destinations from movies that they wish they could visit. Hogwarts and the other areas of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter are so awesome it truly inspired this list. Of course, Universal Studios is in their backyard and they’ve got the closest thing to Hogwarts. Still, it got them wondering what other places they wish they could visit.

5. Whoville – The Grinch (2018)
4. Hill Valley, CA – Back to the Future 2 (1989)
