=====Description and History=====
Tower Bridge is a world-famous landmark in [[London]], recognized as a symbol of the city. It is a marvel of [[Muggle]] engineering from the late 19th century, featuring two large towers linked by high-level walkways. The bridge crosses the [[River Thames]] and is a significant part of [[London]]'s infrastructure and skyline.
=====Role in the Story=====
While Tower Bridge is not explicitly named in the novels, it has a memorable appearance in the film adaptations.
In the film version of //[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]//, the bridge is featured prominently during the flight of the Advance Guard. After rescuing [[Harry Potter]] from [[Number Four, Privet Drive]], several members of the [[Order of the Phoenix]], including [[Alastor Moody|'Mad-Eye' Moody]], [[Nymphadora Tonks]], and [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]], escort him on [[broomstick]]s to the organization's headquarters at [[Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place]]. Their flight path takes them over central [[London]], where they are shown soaring past the distinctive towers of Tower Bridge at night (film).
=====Behind the Scenes=====
In the novel //[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]//, the flight over [[London]] is described from [[Harry Potter]]'s perspective as a journey over a "vast grid of glowing orange lines" and the "serpentine shape of the river," but no specific landmarks are identified.
The inclusion of Tower Bridge in the film adaptation serves as a key visual anchor, firmly placing the wizarding world's secret activities within a real and recognizable [[Muggle]] setting. This technique of using famous landmarks helps to visually blend the magical and non-magical worlds for the audience (film).
