The Journey
King's Cross Station

While a fully operational station serving numerous destinations, it's most famously known as the gateway to Platform 9 3/4 in the Harry Potter series. Visit the specially marked Platform 9 3/4, complete with a luggage trolley disappearing into the wall, and capture a magical photo to commemorate your journey into the wizarding world. Explore the station's Victorian architecture and imagine the countless students embarking on their own adventures to Hogwarts.
The Leaky Cauldron
Imagine stepping through a seemingly ordinary doorway into The Leaky Cauldron, a hidden pub that serves as the entrance to Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter universe. While fictional in its entirety, the pub embodies the charm and mystery of old London. Though no single real-world pub perfectly replicates the Leaky Cauldron, many traditional pubs in London capture its spirit, with their cozy interiors, hearty meals, and historical ambiance. Search out those pubs and imagine Harry getting his first glimpse of the wizarding world.
The Leaky Cauldron
Venture into the enchanting world of wizardry by imagining a visit to The Leaky Cauldron, the clandestine pub serving as the gateway to Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter series. While not a real location, its representation in the films draws inspiration from traditional British pubs. Explore the atmospheric alleys and historic taverns of London, seeking out establishments that evoke the cozy, magical ambiance of this iconic wizarding haunt. Experience the charm and warmth reminiscent of where witches and wizards secretly gather.
Ministry of Magic
Delve into the heart of the wizarding world at the Ministry of Magic, the central governing body for witches and wizards in Britain. Though existing only in the realm of fiction, its depiction in the Harry Potter films showcases grand, imposing architecture inspired by London's government buildings. While you can't visit the actual Ministry, explore the grand government buildings of London, such as the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall, imagining the intricate network of offices and magical departments hidden within.
Hogwarts Great Hall
Picture yourself entering the majestic Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This grand hall, featured prominently in the Harry Potter films, is where students gather for meals, ceremonies, and important announcements. While the specific set design is fictional, it draws inspiration from the great halls of historic British universities and castles. Visit the dining halls of Oxford or Cambridge University to experience the awe-inspiring architecture and timeless atmosphere that inspired the Hogwarts Great Hall. Imagine the Sorting Hat ceremony and the feasts that bring the Hogwarts community together.
Harry Potter Film Locations
Embark on a cinematic adventure to discover several filming locations from the Harry Potter movies scattered across the UK. From the dramatic landscapes of Scotland, which served as the backdrop for Hogwarts, to the historic streets and buildings of London, each location offers a glimpse into the magical world brought to life on screen.
