St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries
St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is the wizarding hospital located in the heart of Muggle London, England. Patients go to St. Mungo's for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from common illnesses like dragon pox to more complicated ailments like spell damage and werewolf bites. Like all aspects of the wizarding world, St. Mungo's is hidden in plain site, disguised as a dilapidated, red-brick department store that muggles see but largely ignore. Wizards or witches who are unable to reach St. Mungo's by magical transportation can enter through Purge and Dowse, Ltd. To Muggles, Purge and Dowse Ltd. is nothing more than a rundown, old-fashioned department store that is always closed for refurbishment. The "store" boasts a window display containing "a few chipped dummies with their wigs askew, standing at random and modeling fashions at least ten years out of date" [OOTP22]. By leaning in and talking to one of the unsightly dummies, patients and visitors can gain access to the hospital, stepping directly through the magical store front and into St. Mungo's reception area.

Spinner's End
It is well known that witches and wizards are scattered throughout Great Britain. Many of these members of the Magical Community live among Muggles, some in otherwise ordinary Muggle towns and cities. One such wizard who kept a house in an unassuming Muggle city was Severus Snape

Orphanage
The Orphanage (full name unknown) was located somewhere in England, probably in or close to London. The importance of this Orphanage, glimpsed briefly inside Dumbledore's Pensieve, is that it was the birthplace and childhood home of Tom Marvolo Riddle, the boy who would become Lord Voldemort. This Orphanage was a Muggle institution visited by Dumbledore in 1938, after Tom Riddle turned eleven years old. Dumbledore went to make arrangements for Tom to attend Hogwarts, and in doing so had his first face-to-face encounter with the child who later became the most fearsome and deadly Dark Wizard of the age

The Quidditch World Cup Arena
The final game of the four hundredth twenty-second Quidditch World Cup was held in England in August of 1994. This game marked the first time in thirty years Britain had hosted the World Cup Final and tickets for the match were extremely hard to acquire. The match was between the Bulgarian and Irish National Quidditch teams. To house this event a gigantic magical stadium was created; the Quidditch World Cup Arena.

Godric’s Hollow
Godric's Hollow is just one of many Muggle villages where magical communities were established following the signing of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689, which obliged wizards and witches to go into hiding from the Muggle world. Others included Tinworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire and Ottery St Catchpole on the English south coast. Here for hundreds of years magical families lived in harmony with sympathetic and sometimes confunded Muggles

Azkaban
Azkaban is the horrible wizard's prison where witches and wizards are incarcerated for their crimes. Located on a tiny island in the freezing waters of the North Sea, Azkaban is not like Muggle prisons that rely on iron bars and heavy security to keep their prisoners in line. Instead, until 1996 at least, Azkaban depended upon some of the most fearsome creatures on earth to guard its prisoners: Dementors.

Malfoy Manor
Located in Wiltshire, in the south of England, Malfoy Manor is a large and opulent house which has belonged for generations to one of the oldest aristocratic wizarding families in Britain . The Malfoys' wealth and influence is infamous, as is their pure-blood mania and fascination for the Dark Arts. As such, Malfoy Manor contains a number of Dark Artifacts. The Ministry of Magic conducted a number of raids in search of these Artifacts, entering Malfoy Manor at least twice during the 1992-1993 school year, and again in 1997.

The Burrow
The Burrow, home of the Weasley family, is a towering, crooked cottage just outside Ottery St. Catchpole, a fictional village located in Devon, England. The house is six stories high, with four or five chimneys, and is most likely held up by magic (indeed, it is magically concealed from the Muggles in the village nearby). The entrance to the house is announced by a lopsided sign, and surrounded by a jumble of Wellington boots and several chickens that live in the front yard
