Godric's Hollow

Godric's Hollow, despite being a Muggle villiage, has a vast and colourful wizarding history.. For over a thousand years it has been home to notable wizards and witches, including Godric Griffindor a Hogwart's founder. It is also the site of Voldemort's first downfall and the murders of Lilly and James Potter as well as their son Harry. Voldemort came to the village in 1981, in the midst of an open war on the wizarding world, intending to kill one-year-old Harry Potter after overhearing a prophecy predicting Harry's power. Instead his Killing Curse rebounded, blowing apart the house and destroying him. Today there are memorials to this event throughout the village, including the house itself which has been made invisible to muggles because of it's magical nature.
