Rowling and adapted for theaters by Warner Bros, has been linked to film tourism practices in several countries around the world, including Brazil. Both the locations described in the books and used in the filming of the saga, as well as the saga-inspired tourist facilities built specifically to capture this audience are visited by tourists from all over the world.
