Did you know
The real film crew shot the wizarding-world platform scenes using platforms 4 and 5, since 9 and 10 aren't actually adjacent at King's Cross. The wall display was installed afterward for visitors, near the real station's own retail concourse.
Local tip
The photo-op comes with an official photographer and a paid print if you want one, but just walking up and taking your own photo of the trolley is free.
