As lovers of all Harry Potter's books, during this short break we went on the trail of the most famous wizard in GB. We were able to see the Gringotts Bank (which, in reality, is the Australian Bank).
We couldn't verify how many goblins were at work, since it was a Sunday! I guess a few. In any case we had no interest in changing our Dollars (already converted to Euros and then again in British Pounds) in the wizarding currency (Galleons, Knuts and Sickle): the only place where we could probably use these coins was the Leaky Cauldron (actually an optical shop in Bull's Head Passage in Leadenhall Market). Unfortunately we missed it, as well as we skipped Diagon Alley.
However we safely crossed the Millennium Bridge (as may be seen from the trails in the sky, the Death Eaters had already past and have not attacked us)...
and we tried to book a ticket for the Hogwarts Express, on Platform 9 and 3/4 but some elf (Doby perhaps?) locked the gate so, by the time we crossed the wall, the train had already left!!!
So we decided to make a formal claim and we went to the the entrance of the Ministry of Magic (which, to our great surprise, in reality is nothing less than Great Scotland Yard!!).
And here, something unexpected happened! Josh took advantage of a moment of distraction and "disapparated" ...
