My visit to Hogwarts
Long suspecting that I have magical blood, I took a trip to London to find my way to Hogwarts. Yeah, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Maybe if I somehow get to Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat could sort me into Gryffindor. Or some loser house like Hufflepuff will do.
Before getting to Hogwarts, I had to go to Diagon Alley of course to buy a pet owl for magic mail delivery as well as to buy the latest textbook on making potions. Unfortunately, there seemed to be no witches and wizards in Diagon Alley (Leadenhall Market in London) at all and definitely, no wand shops.
(Damn. Hoping to see witches and wizards at Diagon Alley as well as the Gringott's Bank. Mjust be a national magical holiday like Merlin Appreciation Day or something.)Nevertheless, I decided to make my way to King's Cross Station to catch a train to Hogwarts.
Now where the hell is Platform 9 and 3/4?
Well . . . .
I FOUND IT! THERE REALLY IS A PLATFORM 9 3/4!
The problem was that I could only get my cart half way through. Damn. Some house elf must be preventing me from going there.
Bloody cart get stuck in the middle of the magic wall.
So no choice, has to take a Knightbus to Hogwarts (actually Oxford's Christ Church).
So, I finally made it to Hogwarts. And Hogwarts is really pretty!
The stairs looked really familiar . . . .
Finally, the Great Hall where the Sorting Hall sorts all first year students . . . .
I didn't get into Hogwarts though. Not magical enough. Drats.

My sis was amazed that all these places actually exist.
Oh yeah. There are actually more places but I didn't have time to visit them all. Glouchester Cathedral and Lacock were where many of the Hogwarts' interior were filmed.
Is there a harry porter tour package?
Oh yes. All sort of variations. Some 3-hr tour while some can be as long as 3 days. Your sister should do one if she is going to London.
