Hogwarts

Who wouldn’t want to drop by Hogwarts for an epic feast? Or slap around Dobby’s ridiculous ears? We can envy Dumbledore’s impressive beard, take magical train rides, fly on brooms, and chug a bunch of butterbeers. Best of all, we’d get a front-row seat during the Battle to the Death between Harry and He Who Shall Not Be Named. I’m referring to Lord Voldemort, just in case you weren’t sure.

The Shire

There are so many destinations in Middle Earth that we’d love to hang out in. How about the enchanted Rivendell? Or Gondor with its white tree. Or Mordor if you align yourself with evil! But nothing tops the quaint and peaceful Shire where we can hang out with Frodo and Pals and gorge ourselves in pork pies, down pint after pint of handcrafted ale until we’re passed out on the floor of the tavern, and of course smoke some pipeweed with Gandalf. If that doesn’t sound like a fantastic weekend getaway plan, you’re no fun at all!
