I'm not a die-hard Harry Potter fan, but I know there are some in the FF. Anyway, at my second viewing of Transformers last week, there was a (new?) trailer for the new HP movie. I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention, but one thing did catch my eye: at one point there is a tapestry in the background (approximately 1 square metre in size). It depicts a unicorn with a long horn, laying down inside a tiny round fenced-off area.

Anyway, we have SEVEARL of those around the Banff Springs Hotel. I think even the frames are exactly the same. And "no", I'm not aware that any of the movie was filmed here at the Springs.

So, you HP fans, if you ever visit, I can show you the tapestry, or take a picture for you.

I haven't seen the new HP trailer yet, but I'm pretty certain from what you describe that these are from the "Hunt of the Unicorn" medieval tapestries which have been widely and thoroughly reproduced in all sorts of versions all over the world, though the originals are in New York.

The one of the unicorn in the fence sounds like it's the "Unicorn in Captivity".

There's another famous set of unicorn tapestries, similarly reproduced, called "the Lady and the Unicorn". The originals are in Paris:

The Springs is a beautiful setting for these reproductions.

I did notice the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries in the Gryffindor common room in previous HP movies.
