About the Harry Potter Shop

Filled with over 5,000 individual props decorated across five different themed areas, guests can enjoy a magical shopping experience stocking up on wizarding world supplies from robes and wands to sweet treats and fan-favourite plushies.

Our Platform 9 ¾ photo opportunity is located just outside of our shop at King’s Cross Station. Our professional photographers can capture your photo for you and you have the option to purchase your photographs in print and digital format in-store. You are also welcome to take your own photos too! Remember to tag us in your photos with @HarryPotterShop and #HarryPotterShop.

Getting here and opening times

No ticket is needed for your photo but please be aware there is often a queue and during busy periods, the photo opportunity will close an hour before the advertised shop closing times, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment.  

The Harry Potter Shop King’s Cross was the first ever Harry Potter Shop to launch in the world outside a themed attraction. It first opened its doors on December 14th, 2012 and has since welcomed millions of Harry Potter fans from all over the world. Since opening the store in King’s Cross Station, we have launched Harry Potter New York, our flagship store in the heart of New York City’s Flatiron District.
