Godric's Hollow

Godric's Hollow is a fictional village in the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling.

It was the final hiding place of Lily and James Potter prior to being murdered by Lord Voldemort on October 31st, 1981. It was at this same time that Harry Potter was left with his lightning bolt shaped scar.

Some readers speculate that Godric's Hollow may have been the home of James Potter's family, and/or the home of long-dead Hogwarts founder Godric Gryffindor. A related hypothesis proposes that the Potters are the descendents of Godric Gryffindor.
