Harry Potter and Philosopher's stone. When I first began reading the Philosopher’s stone I was immediately struck by how good and laugh out loud funny  the humour was. You usually need to read a novel to ensure constant laughter throughout but author has managed to infuse this book with a lovely wit and charm that will both amuse and delight adults and children.
Dudley looked a lot like Uncle Vernon. He had a large, pink face, not much neck, small, watery blue eyes and thick, blond hair that lay smoothly on his thick, fat head. Aunt Petunia often said that Dudley looked like a baby angel. Harry often said that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone - very funny book.

The main feature of the park is the mass of granite boulders, some the size of houses. The absence of soil between the boulders and rocks create a maze of gaps and passages, which can be used to penetrate inside the mountain.These rocks can become extremely hot.The national park's distinctive hard granite boulders and range originally formed out of magma that first slowly solidified under the Earth's crust about 260 million years ago.I feel admired when I look at these mountains.This is a mystical world attraction. You have to go there.

Stonehenge

Stonehenge - the mysterious stone structure on Salisbury Plain, inscribed on the World Heritage List. First the researchers associated with the construction of Stonehenge druids. But excavations have pushed the creation of Stonehenge to the Bronze Age.
The legends associated with the name of the construction of Stonehenge wizard Merlin. In the mid-17th century English architect Inigo Jones put forward the theory that Stonehenge was built by the Romans. Some scientists of the Middle Ages believed that Stonehenge was built the Swiss or Germans. In the early 19th century established itself as the version of Stonehenge Druid sanctuary. However, the exact interpretation of this mysterious construction have not found until now.

Approach to the rocks is prohibited. But some tour operators from Salisbury allow.
