Behind the scenes[]
- The Sundial Garden is known simply as the Stone Circle in thePrisoner of Azkaban,Order of the Phoenix andHalf-Blood Prince video games.
- Inspiration for Stone Circle came from Stonehenge in the English CountyWiltshire, as well as other stone circles, such as Avebury.[2]
- In recalling the first time the young actors in thefilms saw the stones, art directorAlan Gilmore commented "I heard they askedAlfonso if the stones were why he chose the location. It's always gratifying when your work is mistaken for the real thing!"[2]
