Hello Beautiful Souls,
Today, I want to take you on a magical journey – a guided walking tour through the enchanting city of London, but with a twist of wizardry! Yes, you guessed it right, it was a Harry Potter tour, and it was called the “Tour of Muggles.” I am not a die-hard Harry Potter fan, but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to explore the iconic spots that were brought to life in J.K. Rowling’s beloved wizarding world.
The tour kicked off amidst a typical London drizzle, but that didn’t dampen our spirits. After all, as they say, “That is London.” Armed with our umbrellas and wands, we set out on this adventure that promised to transport us into the realm of magic.
The “Tour of Muggles” was a two-hour extravaganza, filled with fascinating stories and trivia about the Harry Potter films and the locations that inspired them. Our knowledgeable guide led us through the cobbled streets, unveiling the secrets behind each magical site.
From the awe-inspiring Leadenhall Market, which served as the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, to the famous Millennium Bridge that was dramatically destroyed by Death Eaters in “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” every stop was a delightful reminder of the wizarding world we all adore.
The rain couldn’t deter our excitement as we soaked in the atmosphere of these iconic places. Each spot was like stepping into the pages of the books or scenes from the movies, bringing a surreal feeling of being part of something truly magical.
Admittedly, the two hours did feel a bit long, especially with the persistent rain. However, the thrill of exploring these familiar locations made it all worthwhile. It was a chance to reconnect with our favourite characters and relive the moments that had captured our hearts.
As the tour came to an end near Borough Market, our minds were swirling with magical memories. The best part was that we had the perfect opportunity to refuel and indulge our taste buds at the Sri Lankan restaurant, Rambutan. But more about that culinary adventure in a different blog post!
All in all, the “Tour of Muggles” was an experience I will treasure forever. Mainly because I did the tour with my mum. It reminded me of the power of imagination and how literature and films can create universes that transcend the boundaries of reality. If you find yourself in London and happen to be a Potterhead, I highly recommend embarking on this journey. It’s a chance to step into the shoes of a wizard or witch and see the world from a different perspective.
Until the next adventure,
