You realize it's not in London, right?

I enjoyed it, went a couple of years ago it's not huge but there is lots of props etc from all the films... If you are a fan, you should enjoy! It's in Hertfordshire not London.

I know somebody who went last summer and enjoyed it. It is still not on my list of musts.

Daughter, son in law and the two grandsons loved it. They said there was something to interest everyone.

Thanks guys. Big Russ, I checked on line and it said it was only 20 miles outside of London. Is there another one?

janisj Mar 22nd, 2016 03:42 PM

No there isn't another one -- and that 20 miles means about an hour . . .

It was great!
I have never read the books and have seen bits and pieces of the movies
Daughter wanted to go so we did
Went on the train and then a shuttle bus delivered us to the door

It is an excellent exhibition
And you can take photos
Huge place
And an amazing souvenir store

Cafe was good too



Just go!

I did lose my favourite faux fur hat on the way back :(

It's 20 minutes if you go at midnight! It really isn't that far away but traffic wise as janisj says I'd allow an hour!

Most overseas visitors (if staying in London) take the train and a shuttle bus so an hour+ either way.

If you love Harry Potter then you will this :) check online for deals, and stay clear of English School Holidays!
