Visit London Zoo, which transformed into Little Whinging Zoo in the book. The scene of Harry's conversation with the snake took place in the reptile house of London Zoo. Visit Kings Cross Station to see platform 9 ¾ where Harry starts his Hogwarts Express journey to Hogwarts School of Wizardry. Don’t forget that the platform is not visable to Muggles! Take turns holding the handle of a baggage cart that British Rail has kindly cut in half and affixed to the wall — all the better to give the impression that it's disappearing into the magical alternative world where trains go to wizard school.

Take a stroll down Charing Cross Road which came to life as Diagon Alley where all the Wizard shops are. Stay overnight in London. Tuesday On your own: Spend the day viewing the Harry Potter sights of London. The London Eye One of the newest and most popular attractions in London, this 135-meter tall Ferris wheel along the banks of the Thames River is one of several landmarks that can be seen in Order of the Phoenix's "wizard chase" sequence, where several members of "Dumbledore's Army" (Harry's Hogwarts student supporters) race on their brooms high above London toward a fight with Voldemort's loyal followers, the sinister Death Eaters. From your own "broom's eye" view atop the Eye, you'll be able to see many of the other notable London sights also featured in the climactic fly-over, including Big Ben, Parliament, Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. Westminster Tube Station When traveling around London on "the Tube," make sure to stop at this gorgeously modern glass and steel underground station, which serves the Circle, District, and Jubilee lines and is one of the key locations Harry and Mr. Weasley (Ron's father) visit when traveling to a Ministry of Magic hearing. Also keep an eye out just down the road from the station for a red telephone booth near Scotland Yard that was used by the filmmakers as the secret entrance to the Ministry of Magic. Stay overnight in London. (CB)
