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!
