 Wizardry. Don’t forget that the platform is not visible 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. Have that camera ready again as we approach the ‘Leaky Cauldron’ and walk in the footsteps of Harry and Hagrin in the Victorian Leadenhall Market! Follow the route of the ‘Knight Bus’ around those little streets! Brockdale Bridge’ is in one piece and you can walk across it! Continue on to Australia House on the Strand, home of the Australian High Commission, which was transformed into Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Take a stroll down Charing Cross Road which came to life as Diagon Alley where all the Wizard shops are. Stay overnight in London.
SATURDAY ~ Spend the day viewing the Harry Potter sights of London: You will have a Big Bus pass for a panoramic tour of London, plus an unforgettable London cruiseThe London Eye One of the 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)
SUNDAY ~ STONEHENGE/LACOCK/ BATH Today we drive through the English countryside to see the mysterious circle of standing stones at Stonehenge. Continue your journey with a visit to the medieval village of Lacock. This village inspired the image of Gordric's Hollow - where Harry lived with his parents. Lacock Abbey was also used in various Hogwarts School scenes, including Professor Snape’s Dungeon  classroom. The beautiful village of Lacock will evoke memories in the minds of avid film buffs - it was also used in the period dramas Emma and Pride and Prejudice. Cantax Hill, Lacock was used in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. ages of Potter’s Godric’s Hollow, Emma, and Pride and Prejudice We continue to the Gloucester Cathedral - You'll almost certainly recognize part of the interior which doubled for the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at this ancient cathedral, and the adjacent King's School, a day trip from London. Originally built as an abbey in 1089, the cathedral features a medieval labryinth, world famous Gothic fan vaulting, and the stained glass of the Great East Window, along with the tombs of Edward II and Robert Duke of Normandy. Stay in Cheltenham. (CB)
MONDAY ~ COTSWOLDS/STRATFORD/CHESTER Drive up through the pretty villages of the Cotswolds, a gentle rural landscape of classic English countryside, ancient Anglo-Saxon settlements and old medieval towns and villages. In Shakespeare's home town, Stratford-upon-Avon, with its half-timbered Elizabethan architecture, we see Anne Hathaway's Cottage, a picturesque thatched home. We have time at leisure to explore this delightful town with its ancient houses and unusual crafts and antique shops. We end our day in the Roman city of Chester. No city in Britain is richer in archeological and architectural riches than Chester, and one of it's specialties is the "Rows", a double row of shops one on top of the other, dating from 1485. Romans arrived here in AD70, and Chester is riddled with Roman buildings and walls. Chester is the only English town still encircled by a medieval wall. (B)
TUESDAY ~ LAKE DISTRICT/EDINBURGH Drive through the Lake District, a favorite haunt of writers and painters, including  Beatrix Potter and Wordsworth, for stunning views of lakes, gentle hills and valleys. Perfectly kept cottages trimmed with fuschia hedges, black and white cows, and the butter-golden gorse shrubs dot the hillsides. Drive to Scotland's capital - Edinburgh, with most of the Harry Potter books were written in a local coffeeshop. The Elephant House proudly proclaims itself to be ‘The Birthplace of Harry Potter’.
