Hi, I'm planning a trip to England and Spain during Easter in 2014 (yea i know its waaaay too early but i like to plan ahead.) I would like to know the places to go and the things to do. I like to immerse myself completely in the culture, try local food etc. Don't like the beach too much, unless it really worth it 
I'd LOVE to witness the crazy festivals in Spain eg: the Las Fallas or Santa Semanta. I like history especially the ones in England and I'm a BIG Harry Potter fan so I guess Harry Potter World and Kings Cross is a must! 
So I'm not sure where to start and I hope someone can help me clear this out. Oh, and I'm from Malaysia btw. And there arent any direct flights from Malaysia to Spain or the other way round. Thanks

Welcome to fodors. I'd start by surfing the two countries on this website to see what other people like. The search box is up on the right. Otherwise you will get a procession of people asking you the same questions and giving you the same three top spots for a visit.
Fodorites will also recommend you get a guide book and have a good read.
Kings Cross has a wall out of the way of most of the users with the back half of a trolley sticking out of it. Not that exciting. But don't worry there are special tours for a range of prices you can do.
It may be difficult to experience both Semana Santa and Las Fallas in 2014 if you only have a month and plan to visit both England and Spain.
Easter is April 20 so palm Sunday will be April 13. Las Fallas usually runs March 15-19. So unless you want to jump back and forth between England and Spain they don't occur in sequence in 2014 (some year they fall closer together). You'll need to save extra money to visit during these times as hotels are at premium prices. Not sure I'd classify Las Fallas and Semana Santa in the same category. Las Fallas may be a "crazy" more party atmosphere but Semana Santa has more religious and formal tradition (but still fun).
For Spain if you give yourself 2 weeks I'd focus on a geography that covers at most 2 areas and resist the temptation to see the entire country (not possible). Personally I'd choose Andalucia as one of the areas, but I can be biased
