Harry Potter star, Mark Williams, discusses what made Birmingham so successful in a new TV documentary.
The proud city of Birmingham was once the world leaders in the industrial world during the 1700’s. Dubbed the ‘Silicon Valley’ of its time. People came from far and wide to be part of this proud city.
However, it wasn’t by chance that Birmingham gained such worldwide recognition and Mark Williams, better known as Arthur Weasley from Harry Potter for all us Potterheads, is lending a hand in explaining how the city came to be.
