POTTERHEAD

We are Potterheads. Do you know what  'Potterhead' means? It means the fans of HARRY POTTER. 

Since we have promised to show the shooting place in popular films , GET READY for the breathtaking views taken in our next film which is HARRY POTTER.

           

Kings Cross Station (Platform 9 3/4)

…That handy train line will then whisk you straight to Kings Cross, the bustling terminus at which Harry, Hermione, Ron and friends board the Hogwarts’ Express. Obviously, Platform 9 3/4 doesn’t really exist (sorry kids) but there is a BRONZE PLAQUE marking the spot where it would stand, and a luggage cart halfway through the wall that’s ideal for photo ops. In a parallel world, Harry would have boarded the train just down the road, at the station J.K. Rowling was visualising when she wrote the book (“I was actually thinking of Euston,” she told the BBC, “so anyone who’s been to the real platforms 9 and 10 in King’s Cross will realise they don’t bear a great resemblance to the platforms in the book”). The exteriors are different too – Harry and Ron’s Ford Anglia ride began next door outside the much more scenic St. Pancras. If they’d boarded the train there, they’d have ended up in Paris.

Location: Harrow School  (Professor Flitwick’s Classroom  )

Hogwarts’ tiny Charms professor, Filius Flitwick, instructs his pupils in the art of Wingardium Leviosa in Harrow School’s oldest classroom, the Fourth Form Room that dates back to 1615. It’s a great place to kick off a Pott-tour of London locations. Harrow has lots in common with Hogwarts: a sport that defies logic (Fives), some natty uniforms and a direct train from King’s Cross, albeit on the entirely steam-free Metropolitan Line. Like Hogwarts, it has an entrance exam, although you don’t need to do magic to pass it. 

 

Cafe Attack    (Location: Piccadilly Circus/Shaftesbury Ave)

The cafe where Harry, Hermione and Ron’s have their fraught late-night cuppa is buried somewhere on a Leavesden soundstage, but even if it did exist we can’t recommend going there – it’s crawling with Death Eaters and the service is terrible. It’s a simple business to follow in their Deathly Hallows footsteps, though. Just take the tube to Piccadilly Circus, pick the exit marked ‘Shaftesbury Avenue’ and head that way.

                                    

Ministry Of Magic  (Location: Great Scotland Yard, Scotland Place )

As Rufus Scrimgeour (Bill Nighy) intones at the beginning of The Deathly Hallows, it’s a time of murder, disappearances and raids, so it’s fitting that the Ministry of Magic’s exterior shots were filmed at Great Scotland Yard where such things are all in a day’s work. It’s an easy trip across the West End, if your flying car is in for a service, follow in the footsteps of Arthur Weasley and take the tube to shiny Westminster Tube Station. From there, it’s a short mosey along Whitehall to Scotland Place. Sadly, you won’t find the red phonebox that Harry and Mr Weasley use to enter the Ministry in The Order Of The Phoenix, but, as you’ll discover in The Deathly Hallows, there’s a new route in anyway.

(Millennium Bridge) Location: St. Pauls

It took a really long time to stop the Millennium footbridge wobbling, and what do the Death Eaters do but turn up and knock it down. Boo! Happily, it’s standing again now and you can walk across it without (much) fear of a watery death plunge a la Half-Blood Prince. From the bridge you can just spy the Gothic spires of the Houses of Parliament, past which Harry and his fellow members of Dumbledore’s army whizz on broomsticks in The Order Of The Phoenix. Lambeth Bridge, across which the Knight Bus squeezes in The Prisoner Of Azkaban, is only a bend in the river away upstream.

 Okay guys, that's all about Harry Potter. Okay then, BYE!
