The Magic Train

For the filming of scenes with the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films, the most beautiful railway line in Great Britain was used – the West Highland Line (the real train route) and the quite real London locomotive. The unique charm of these places and the famous viaduct with 21 arches in the Glenfinnan valley you will never forget! It is on this bridge, built in the early XX century, carried a magic train to Hogwarts. From mid-May to the end of October, a magical steam locomotive runs along the route Fort William – Malleig. In the magic car D completely reproduced the atmosphere of the “Hogwarts Express”: all the luggage shelves are stuffed with suitcases, and the car is driven by a cart with various sweets.

Westminster

Not only is Westminster one of London’s most iconic districts, it’s also packed with Harry Potter film locations. Begin at Westminster tube station, where muggle-fanatic Arthur Weasley bumbled his way through the turnstiles with Harry, and leisurely make your way over to Westminster Bridge to relive the Potter gang’s stunning flight over the Houses of Parliament in the Order of the Phoenix. Budget time in to see the rest of the area and Westminster Abbey – while they aren’t related to Harry Potter, they’re still well worth seeing.
