Godric's Hollow is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor, and is a notable wizarding village, although Muggles also live there. Situated in the West country, it is a very famous village. Wright, the man who forged the first golden snitch was also from there. James and Lily Potter lived in Godric's Hollow with one year old, Harry.
