THOUSANDS of tourists are likely to potter along to Goathland after a new map reveals it to be a location from the year's biggest film.
The first scenes from Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone were filmed here, and everything touched by the wee wizard is expected to turn to gold.
After the movie opens tomorrow, Goathland should brace itself for an influx of coach parties. This is nothing new of course. It will take a tremendous burst of Pottermania to move this village out of Heartbeat Country and into Harry Country.
