From its inauguration in 1913 until 1930, the Woolworth was the largest building in the world (241 m). It is only natural, then, that this prestigious location was chosen at the time to host the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

Address: Woolworth Building, 233 Broadway, New York, USA

Old City Hall Station

The historic City Hall station, opened in 1904, was recreated in the studio for the final battle scene and the discovery of Grindelwald. Closed since 1945 when trains became longer and required larger platforms, it is still possible to discover it today. To do so, take Line 6 to its terminus “Brooklyn Bridge – City Hall”. Don’t get off the subway. After a short break, he will make a U-turn in this sublime abandoned station that you can then admire.

Address: Brooklyn Bridge City Hall Station, New York, USA
