A thousand years or more ago, When I was newly sewn, There lived four wizards of renown, Whose names are still well known: Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor , Fair Ravenclaw, from glen, Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad, Shrewd Slytherin, from fen. They try to consider all the existing clues, fairly neutrally, and often give a surprisingly precise location of the relevant place even based on a very few clues.
For Godric's Hollow , in particular, they give some more details than just "West Country":. We can also say that Godric's Hollow is probably towards the north side of the West Country, or at any rate not on the southern side, because if it were on the south side then going via Bristol would involve a considerable detour. This rules out Dorset which is too far south. Cornwall is unlikely for linguistic reasons it's too Celtic, and would not have Anglo-Saxon place names such as Godric's Hollow, especially not in the Middle Ages.
I bet he'd've pitched him off the bike halfway out ter sea. The phrase "halfway out to sea" does not make much sense for something right on the coast it's either to sea, or it isn't , and does not make much sense for something very far from the coast as halfway to coast would still be well on land. They then consider when would that phrase make sense, and then several other geographic clues; I will not summarize any more it is better to just read the linked article itself. The most likely location for Godric's Hollow is somewhere near Weston-Super-Mare in Somerset: either near but not on the coastline facing into the Severn Estuary, or on the estuary of the River Parret which feeds into Bridgewater Bay a few miles south-west of Weston-Super-Mare.
Hagrid passed over Bristol en route to Little Whinging because he used the motorways as a guide, picking up the M5 near Godric's Hollow and following it to Bristol, and then the M4 from Bristol to Heathrow. They have figured out that Little Whinging is near Heathrow in a separate article. I will not describe their reasoning in detail here, but basically it is the only part of Surrey that is remotely near the described railway. They do not appear to have considered the tiny triangle NW of Bristol - which is strange as they typically consider all possibilities, however unlikely.
It definitely fits their clues including the "halfway to sea" one just as well as far as I can tell, anyway.
As for the wild moors - one would suppose that what was wild moors ten centuries ago might not necessarily be so today. This particular one seems to be what is now known as Sedgemoor.
I believe that he lived somewhere in the county of Devon. Devon has Dartmoor and a small part of Exmoor. There were lions in Devon too, 1, years ago. North Devon is at the end of the Bristol channel and at the start of the Celtic sea. And m5 begins at Exeter.
In mid Devon there's cottages. And halfway to the sea, indicating he's still in land heading to the sea. Or else it would had said halfway of the sea. And in the song it says 'wild moors' dartmoor had a lot of bronze age animals lion before yrs ago.

It appears that the Dumbledore family moved to Godric's Hollow when Albus Dumbledore 's father Percival was imprisoned. Albus and his mother Kendra , sister Ariana , and brother Aberforth lived here, until Kendra's and Ariana's deaths.
At the time, Bathilda Bagshot was their neighbour. Godric's Hollow is famed as the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor , and also as the final resting place of at least one of the Peverell family. There is some connection between Godric's Hollow and the Peverell family, who we first hear about in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince , and we know that Harry lived there for a while, though we believe he was not born there.
Harry, accompanied by Hermione , finally visits Godric's Hollow at Christmas in the seventh book. There, having discovered a monument to his parents, found his parents' graves, and seen the remains of the house where he lived, he encounters Bathilda Bagshot. Back in Bathilda's home, he finds that Bathilda is in fact deceased, and concealing Nagini. In the aftermath of the battle, Harry relives Voldemort's memories of the night his parents were murdered.
We later find that Harry' wand has been broken in the battle. Hermione has retrieved a copy of The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore , Rita Skeeter's scurrilous biography of Dumbledore; while it is a very inaccurate rendition of the facts, it does provide some useful information about Dumbledore's youth, information that to some extent drives Harry's later actions. Bathilda Bagshot's note that Godric's Hollow is the home of a relatively large number of wizards does not indicate that it is a purely Wizarding village; in fact, Hogsmeade village , according to what we are told, is the only purely Wizarding village in Britain.
As such, wizard residents of Godric's Hollow must still avoid open use of magic to avoid disturbing the Muggle residents of the village. This is why the monuments to the Potter family must be hidden: the sculpture of the family appears to be an ordinary cenotaph except at certain angles, and presumably only wizards can see it at all; and the Potter house on the edge of the village is charmed to be invisible to Muggles.
One must assume that a charm similar to the one that hides Number 12, Grimmauld Place must be in use at the latter site, to prevent Muggles from trying to build on the apparently empty lot as the village grows. Given the Dumbledore family experience with Muggles, it is a little surprising that the family chose to settle at Godric's Hollow rather than Hogsmeade. However, it is possible that there was some family history that connected the family to this village; and it seems likely that the Dumbledore family chose to live in a part of the village that was primarily wizard-occupied.
Study questions are meant to be left for each student to answer; please don't answer them here. It should be noted that Ignotus Peverell, one of the three brothers who, according to the myth, received the three Deathly Hallows from Death himself, is buried in the church yard at Godric's Hollow; Hermione discovers his tombstone there.
It is possible that Ignotus was the brother who owned the Invisibility Cloak, and that it had passed down through the generations until Harry inherited it from his own father, James Potter.
Prior to the release of the seventh book, there was a great deal of discussion on various fan sites about the "missing day"; Voldemort had been dead for a full day before Hagrid appeared at Privet Drive with Harry.
It was believed by many fans that the occurrences during that day would be important, possibly even pivotal, to events in the seventh book. The residential streets are lined with quaint cottages. Godric's Hollow has been inhabited by a number of notable wizarding families. The Dumbledore family and Bathilda Bagshot both resided in the village, but it is perhaps most famous as where Harry Potter 's parents lived when he was a baby, and where they were killed and Voldemort met his first downfall.
Despite this, Harry did not visit until Christmas of According to A History of Magic , the graveyard is rumoured to be haunted. Bathilda Bagshot's note that Godric's Hollow is the home of a relatively large number of wizards does not indicate that it is a purely Wizarding village; in fact, Hogsmeade village is the only purely Wizarding village in Britain.

Lord Voldemort in Godric's Hollow in In A History of Magic , Bathilda Bagshot writes that Godric's Hollow is one of a number of villages where wizards settled in relatively large numbers after the ratification of the International Statute of Secrecy in It appears that the Dumbledore family moved to Godric's Hollow when Albus Dumbledore 's father Percival was imprisoned.
