Four days in the wizards' London: the way into the Ministry of Magic, the bridge the Death Eaters destroy, the doors of the Leaky Cauldron, the station of the Hogwarts Express and a whole day at the studios where the films were made.

King's Cross is where Harry catches the Hogwarts Express: the trolley in the wall is in the main concourse. Claremont Square plays the street of 12 Grimmauld Place, home of the Order of the Phoenix, and the marble hall of Australia House is the Gringotts bank.

The purple Knight Bus squeezes between two double-deckers on Lambeth Bridge. In Deathly Hallows Hermione apparates with Harry and Ron to Piccadilly Circus, in front of the lit-up screens.

The Warner Bros. Studio Tour, at Leavesden north of London, is where all eight films were made: you walk through the sets kept after filming, with costumes, props and the large model of Hogwarts. Allow at least 3 to 4 hours.
