10 Harry Potter Things to Do In London

Posted by Andrew Smith on October 11th, 2017

A Harry potter fan and that too an ardent follower of all the latest Rowling must offer on top of it in case you have some plans to visit the city of London then you are game for some good sites that you should visit. The only thing that is a hindrance is when you do not have time and you are still in want of visiting the sites the best way to visit those is by being aware of all the places.

Some of the Harry potter activities are best done if you happen to visit the Harry Potter at the Universal studios, so while you try to understand what all it must offer it will not take much of your days and still you can have it all in one shot.

Rides and the Attractions

As you enter the World of wizards there are towers and castles it is too good to be true, while you start making your way through the familiar passageways which you can recall now from the movie scene, they are the same old corridors which gives you that adrenalin rush and now you are taking it all in. There are many such places inside this studio just as you walk through the office of none other than Dumbledore one of the good old characters loved by all. The place is magical and as you come face to face with the creatures you have been seeing on screen you can really feel soaring above the castles, all through the state of art technology and all these goes into creating that special kind of effect where you see the protagonist flying on top of the castles. The most interesting aspect is that in case you have children with you please feel free to go for a ride as there are certain restrictions one must follow what an amazing way to explore these rides by being a part of the whole scenario. My friends came to the city with their family and were staying at the park grand hotel London they could not believe when they first came here to try these real rides with their kids but what they describe as a moment of truth seems they enjoyed all that to the fullest.

Another ride which is quite good and thrilling at the same time is about wizarding the world of Harry Potter it helps you to explore the mysterious world of Hogwart as you sit through the rides you will feel the same palpitation which is going on when you view Harry on screen. These are especially enjoyed by the kids they just feel free a sense of let loose dawns on them in fact seeing live all the action all by themselves is one of the best things.

Dining

The experience of dining inside the Universal studios is fabulous as you step in the wizarding world of none other than Harry Potter you will be welcomed by a place called the Three Broomsticks although as soon as you enter you can see people across eating and enjoying and the looks draw similarity to an old looking tavern. As you book a table for yourself you can see the people serving you have adorned the Harry potter look maybe you can spot the characters from the film the look alike and even the food there is fantastic all you need to do is order the great British feast and your table will be laid with sumptuous meal and you will not be able to stop the hunger pangs. This snow-capped tavern is a unique proposition yet it is still in line with the Harry potter look a must visit while you are trying to explore a bit more of the Harry potter. My friends were exploring the romantic hotels in London while they found this they were quite happy as they could find a quiet corner while the food was fabulous the ambience was quiet fun.

There is another pub which is quite a happening place to make it more realistic they have hung the head of the hog and there is every possibility that it might snarl back at you going forward. There are barrels lined up in here and the pub is almost filled with people who enjoy drinking some old and chilled beer it’s a kind of mini brewery. So, the rustic looking seating area is quite fun to be around you can be as close to the bar and then there are tables where you can sit with your friends and family.

Entertainment

On the entertainment front there are a lot of beautiful shows which are being organised one of them is the Triwizard spirit rally a colourful show which lives up to the spirit and there you can probably see the students of the wizarding school of Hogwarts and  Drumstrang they will be carrying out a rally though nothing much about the whole thing but they will be performing a lot of antics. There will be a tournament too and you will be surprised to see all the students of these three institutions will be participating here trying to beat each other in this friendly sport and the crowd will be very much in an anticipated mode you could hear loud cheers and the excitement is quite vibrant.

Ollivanders is one of the places where you can check out the wands that are being made since before Christ times so as you enter the store you will be greeted by the wizard who will then take you through the beautiful stories and the different kind of wands that you get to see is amazing stuff. The kids are the most enthusiast lot here they are probably happier seeing all these beautiful facts that the wizards have to explain.

Shopping

Your visit to the Harry Potter’s world does not end here you can probably get ahead with shopping there are a lot many shops some are unique conceptually.
