Home of Harry in the world of Muggles

Harry's home in the world of Muggles.

Picket Post Close was the real location for the filming of 4 Privet Drive in the first Harry Potter movie.

The film company had to pay the residents of Picket Post Close a large fee for the use of their neighborhood in the film, as well as for the inconvenience of all the film equipment. When it came time to shoot the second film, it was decided that it would be easier and cheaper to shoot at Leavesden Studios, where an actual Privet Drive set was being built.
