| | Heligoland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Heligoland matches perfectly the description of the island in the North Sea that hosts the wizard prison Azkaban in the Harry Potter universe. | | | Heligoland (in German, Helgoland and in North Frisian, Lun, Hålilönj) is a small, German island in the North Sea. | | | Heligoland is spelled "Helgoland" in German and was formerly called "Heyligeland", or 'holy land,' possibly due to the island's long association with the god Forseti. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Review Muddling through |
| | This is a world of people who listen to Radio 4 last thing at night: who drift off to sleep to "Sailing By" and then, as often as not, get jerked sharply awake by "Lillibulero" at two in the morning as the station makes way for the World Service. | | | Heligoland can be a bemusing book in some ways: we see glimpses of lives, fragments and shards, rather than amply delineated, rounded existences. | | | The Heligoland of the title is an island off the German coast that used to be mentioned in the incantation of the shipping forecast but is now omitted, and which Rowena's childish self - a self that bleeds into her adult persona - fantasises as a promised land of happiness. |

| | An Introduction to Heligoland (Helgoland) Stamps |
| | Stamps were issued for "Heligoland" from 1867 through 1890 under a rather complex arrangement between the British and the Germans. | | | The island came under the Reich postal administration and began to use the stamps of Germany. | | | The postal administration was tied to Hamburg (and to Germany after the unification in 1872) and the stamps were printed by the Prussian printing office (which became the Reich Druckerei after unification) for a German speaking populace and yet the stamps bore the profile of Queen Victoria. |
