The Journey

1

Alnwick Castle

Step into the very grounds where Harry Potter learned to fly! Alnwick Castle, a magnificent medieval fortress in Northumberland, England, served as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first two Harry Potter films. Wander the Outer Bailey where Harry, Ron, and Hermione took their first flying lesson with Madam Hooch. Explore the castle's rich history, spanning centuries of battles, royal intrigue, and noble lineage. The castle grounds regularly host broomstick training sessions and wizardry-themed events, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the magic.

2

Millennium Bridge, London

Witness the architectural marvel that was dramatically destroyed by Death Eaters in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.' The Millennium Bridge, a modern pedestrian suspension bridge crossing the River Thames in London, provides stunning views of iconic landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral. Reflect on the film's chilling scene while appreciating the bridge's elegant design and the vibrant cityscape surrounding it. The bridge's sleek silhouette makes it an iconic fixture of the London skyline.

3

Leadenhall Market, London

Enter the enchanting world of wizards at Leadenhall Market, a Victorian-era covered market in the City of London! Its ornate facade served as the exterior of Diagon Alley in 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'. This historic market, dating back to the 14th century, is a stunning example of Victorian architecture with its elaborate painted ceilings and cobbled floors. Though the Leaky Cauldron entrance seen in the films was a constructed set, the market provides an atmospheric glimpse into the wizarding world. It's a perfect location for photographs and immersing yourself in the feeling of old London.

4

Lambeth Bridge Road, London

Stand where the Knight Bus screeched to a halt, nearly flattening unsuspecting Muggles! Lambeth Bridge Road is the filming location where the triple-decker Knight Bus drops Harry off at the Leaky Cauldron entrance in 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. Picture the chaotic scene as you explore this area of London. It's a fantastic photo opportunity to recreate the memorable scene of Harry's arrival.

5

Westminster Tube Station & Ministry of Magic

Descend into the depths of Westminster Tube Station, a key location in 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'. This is where Harry and Mr. Weasley travelled to the Ministry of Magic! While the telephone box entrance to the Ministry was a prop, the station itself provides a glimpse into the bustling Muggle world coexisting with the wizarding one. Explore the station's modern design and imagine the secret entrance to the Ministry hidden somewhere nearby. The architecture and ambiance of the real station, which has been upgraded since the movie filming, offer a contrast to the magical scenes.
