• Westminster Station, used by Harry and Mr Weasley on their way to the Ministry of Magic.
• King's Cross station for a scene between Harry and Sirius and the entrance for the Ministry of Magic.

And all of this:

• Kings Cross Station, where Harry famously catches the train to Hogwart’s station on Platform 9 ¾ . Visit the location where the characters push their luggage carts through the wall for a perfect photo opportunity, followed by a visit to the Harry Potter pop-up store nearby.
• Visit to the Warner Bros Studio Tour for the ultimate behind-the-scenes experience at the studios where it all began, to experience the magic of the film-making and see the iconic props, costumes and sets from the productions, with some perfect photo opportunities along the way.
• Visit Oxford and famous Christ Church College, for a special behind the scenes Harry Potter tour, where you will follow in Harry’s footsteps into the Great Hall (used for Hogwart’s Hall), the 16th century staircase on which Harry and the new first years are greeted by Professor McGonagall and the cloisters and quadrangles which were used in various parts of the film. Other Oxford sites include the location used for Hogwart’s Library.
• The picturesque village of Lacock (National Trust) to visit the Abbey (National Trust) used for many scenes including Quirius Quirrel’s classroom, Professor Snape’s Potions Class and the cloisters.
• The medieval Suffolk village of Lavenham (National Trust) which doubles as Godrick's Hollow. See the house which appears as Harry's birthplace in The Deathly Hallows: Part 1.
• Durham Cathedral which was used for both internal and external shots, including Professor McGonagall’s classroom and in The Philosopher's Stone, Harry walks with his white owl, Hedwig, through a snowy cloister courtyard which was filmed here.
• Alnwick Castle, used as the external shots of Hogwarts’ school grounds and most recognisably for Madame Hooch’s broomstick flying lesson. In The Chamber of Secrets, see where the Weasley’s flying car crashes into the Whomping Willow. Enjoy a special guided tour of all the key locations, enjoy stories of when the crew were filming and finish with your own Broomstick training session!
• Scotland and sites including the location of Hagrid’s Hut and a waterfall used as the location for Harry’s battle with a dragon for the Triwizard Tournament in the Goblet of Fire. Tour the lochs which featured as Hogwarts Lake and where Hagrid skips across the stones in the Prisoner of Azkaban. Enjoy a steam train ride on the actual train line used for The Hogwarts Express that carries Harry, Ron and Hermione to school each year. The movie shows the train chugging across the real-life Glenfinnan Viaduct (National Trust), where in The Goblet of Fire, the Dementors stall the train and torture Harry. Visit the eerie graveyard in Edinburgh and spot the gravestones whose names inspired famous characters from the series.
