Whether you’re not old enough yet to go to Hogwarts, or you’re beyond the Ministry of Magic's age of retirement, come maraud through London on this magical Harry Potter tour! Wizards, Witches, Squibs and Muggles alike are welcome as we journey through London’s hidden alleys and old cobbled streets on the trail of Potter – let the magic commence!
We'll follow the route of the knight bus, get inside the telephone box entrance to the Ministry of Magic, traverse the wobbly bridge previously destroyed by the dark magic of Voldemort’s Deatheaters and much more. All the while, your Hogwarts graduate will be busy trading spells with you, pointing out filming sites from the movies and discussing the finer points of divination.
A half-day of seeing the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, platform 9 3/4, Black Holes too secret to discuss, Gringotts, Privet Drive, and many more iconic Potter sights will thrill any and every Potterhead out there!
Mischief managed. All will be well.
