King’s Cross train station in London has long been a magnet for Harry Potter fans (Harry leaves for Hogwards from platform 9 3/4 every year) and the station honors this by having a place that pretends to be the entrance to the secret platform.
Now, there’s a convenient shop in King’s Cross for Harry Potter fans.
According to the io9:
But as of this weekend, a Harry Pottershop sits between Platforms Nine and Ten. The 9¾ shop lets Potter fans enjoy a small taste of Hogsmeade while they await their trains, perusing Hogwarts house gear and neatly stacked boxes of wands. Sadly, it isn’t accompanied by a fire whisky bar.
Very cool – can’t wait to stop in the next time we’re in London!

Perfect! I can’t think of a better place for it. My, how I’d like to visit 🙂
Wow! That looks like a very cool place to visit. I have some friends in London right now. I’ll have to tell them about it.
