Platform 9 3/4
This one is for you Maria.
While waiting at King’s Cross for our train to Scotland, Kris and I realized that we were smack dab in the middle of a Harry Potter scene. You know the one: Bustling train station…Harry and Co. running straight into a brick wall on their way to Hogwarts…Platform 9 3/4? (Maria knows the scene!)
Well anyway, we wandered around until we stumbled across the “real” Platform 9 3/4 and then proceeded to geek ourselves out completely. Check it out below.
PS: Did you know that they actually filmed the station scenes at Kings Cross? Don’t they usually build fancy sets?
Second Star to the Right
Did I mention that I fulfilled a childhood dream?
I visited Kensington Gardens which, among other amazing features, is home to Peter Pan. And I absolutely adore Peter Pan.
After all, what could be better than a book/film with a premise that focuses entirely on never growing up? I’d prefer to live my entire life in a tree-house, sneaking around and having adventures with fairies and pirates.
And to fulfill my love for J.M. Barrie (whose home I saw!), I learned that he sneaked the bronze statue into the gardens late at night as a surprise.
Simply, wickedly awesome.
