In the story · Deathly Hallows Part 1 (film 7, 2010); Deathly Hallows Part 2 (film 8, 2011)
A real filming location. Shell Cottage, Bill and Fleur's home by the sea, was built on these dunes for Deathly Hallows and taken down after filming. Fans leave painted stones in memory of a scene filmed here; the National Trust asks visitors not to leave anything on the beach.
