Behind the scenes[]
- It seems unusual that a tour to Durmstrang was offered, given it was described as highly secretive about its location.
- Interestingly, some of the disclaimer text featured in the Rent-a-carpet advert seen at the Globus Mundi storefront in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter[6] seems to have been directly copied (with minor alterations) from the article on flying carpets here in the Harry Potter Wiki, specifically, a paragraph added in an April 2009 revision of the page.
