The Harry Potter™ Shop AT Platform 9 3/4 - Official Opening Date Revealed

Situated near the platform 9¾ trolley at London’s newly refurbished King’s Cross Station, the shop will sell items such as golden platform 9¾ collectible train tickets, souvenirs, wands, t-shirts, stationery, books, Hogwarts robes and uniforms, as well as other collectibles in homage to the successful Harry Potter™ film franchise and book series.

Depicted in the Harry Potter books and films, the iconic platform 9¾ is where we see Harry Potter and his fellow Hogwarts classmates pass through the magical barrier between platforms 9 and 10 to enter the world of wizardry and board the Hogwarts Express, beginning their travels to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

THE HARRY POTTER™ SHOP AT PLATFORM 9¾ has been produced by Jonathan Sands (Founder and Chief Executive of London Film Museum) and partners, under license from Warner Bros. Consumer Products.

Speaking ahead of the launch of the shop just in time for Christmas 2012, Jonathan Sands of London Film Museum and Platform 9¾ K1ngs Cross Ltd, said, “We are proud to be opening THE HARRY POTTER SHOP AT PLATFORM 9¾ in association with Warner Bros. Consumer Products as this is precisely where Harry’s journey to Hogwarts began. King’s Cross Station has recently undergone the most amazing redevelopment and we are delighted to be a part of it thanks to Network Rail.”
