The seven Harry Potter books have enchanted children and adults alike over the last decade or so. The release of each new installment is front page news, and fans queue for days with the opening of every new film based on the series. Their phenomenal success has not only made reading cool again but also generated a wave of interest in the real or imagined locations both on the page and on the screen. So if you’re wild about Harry, potty about Potter, take a tour and explore key sites associated with the boy wizard across Britain.

Whether you arrive in London by broomstick or jumbo, the best way to get around is by traditional black cab (even Prince Philip has one!). With a tour tailored to Potter fans you’ll start off at Diagon Alley, which is actually historic Leadenhall Market, a grand Victorian covered arcade which has been a place of trade for around 700 years, built on the site of a much older Roman forum.

Doing what: Harry Potter Walking Tour of London

We had so much fun on this tour. Our guide, Gabby, was great, full of facts about Harry Potter and London in general. We got to see sites we probably never would have found without a guide. Be warned, its all walking but its worth it for Harry Potter fans of all ages!

Doing what: Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter

A real Studio experience that is as enchanting to adults as it is to the children. My wife and i loved every second of it.

Then of course there’s platform 9 and ¾ at King’s Cross Station, from where the Hogwarts Express departs, and a whole host of other key spots around London which will bring the adventure to life. There are morning, afternoon or evening options so you can spend the rest of the day mingling with the Muggles and checking out the other attractions of the British capital.

For the true fanatic, a fabulous three-day tour covers the best of the beautiful English countryside while exploring Potter film locations and places associated with other classic children’s books. See Hogwarts infirmary and library in Oxford and visit the village Lacock, which features extensively in the movies. Along the way you’ll also see foreboding castles, mysterious forests and travel on a steam train just like the Hogwarts Express. All aboard!
