Laura, Kamilla, Janka, Ildi, and Nóri arrived at the airport full of excitement, ready to embark on a journey into the magical world of Harry Potter in London. The magic began right at the airport, when the Wizz Air captain and crew came to greet us personally. On board, everyone received a surprise package, and at the end of the flight, we even got to visit the cockpit.

In the afternoon, we set off to follow in Harry’s footsteps and visited Platform 9 ¾ at King’s Cross Station, hoping we, too, might pass through the wall. While we didn’t quite make it to wizarding school, we did make it to a Harry Potter shop, where we looked around in awe and wonder.

Naturally, the highlight of our time in London—the “Big Day”—was our visit to the Harry Potter Studios, where we spent several hours exploring real film sets, costumes, props, and even got a behind-the-scenes look at special effects and animation techniques used in the movies. We had the chance to board the Hogwarts Express and even fly on the Nimbus 2000!

Luckily, we also had time to witness the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and admire several of its rooms and gardens from the inside. We strolled past Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and the Tower of London, and enjoyed breathtaking views of the city from the 34th floor of the Sky Garden. Of course, we couldn’t miss the massive M&M’s store or Hamleys—the world’s oldest toy store, spread across seven floors.

Tired but filled with unforgettable memories, our little team returned home to Budapest.
