Where to See Harry Potter Filming Locations:
King’s Cross, London
The iconic 9 ¾ platform is located at King’s Cross Station in London. Erected in 1852, the railway station was used as a backdrop for several films. Since the series debuted, King’s Cross is now most known for being one of the film locations of the Harry Potter book and film series. In the movie, the hidden platform is where 11-year-old Harry first attempted to travel to the wizard realm. To add to the magic, the station added its own Platform 9 ¾. Between the platforms on the west side, there will find a trolley vanishing through the wall with the sign: Platform 9 ¾. Near the platform, King’s Cross Station also has a Harry Potter Gift Shop to purchase all your wizardly goods.
The Jacobite, Scotland
Want to travel the same scenic ride as the Hogwarts Express? The Jacobite steam train, which runs April through October from Fort William to Mallaig in Scotland, does just that. The route passes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the same bridge featured in the Harry Potter movies. Experience the magic yourself with a Hogwarts Express tour from your Jaya Travel agent. These spectacular tours will immerse you in the magic that is Harry Potter, plus the real-life beauty and history of Scotland.
