5. Wait before crossing water (8). 6.Probably would not win a rear of the year competition (10). 7. Identity of Lincolnshire town (6). Help please.

We are doing well here, many thanks. Found another I'm not sure of. No.11, N.E. home of castle with a link to Harry (7). I thought maybe ALNWICK as it has A LINK in it but can't see where the W and the C come in and no idea what it has to do with HARRY. Can anyone fathom this one?

Wasn't part of The Harry Potter series filmed at Alnwick?

Film location of Hogwarts in Harry Potter films

Thought so.....

Film and television at Alnwick Castle

Most famously in recent years, Alnwick Castle featured as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first two Harry Potter films. Scenes filmed at the castle include Harry's first Quidditch lesson and the crash-landing of the flying Ford Anglia.
