Day 1, Wed 13 Mar: Arrive London

Disembark your plane (or broomstick) at Heathrow Airport and make your own way to

your hotel in the city centre. After settling in, we will enjoy a panoramic afternoon tour of

the British capital, taking in the city’s main sights and experiencing a ride on the London

Eye, the setting for the thrilling wizard chase in the Order of the Phoenix. Return to the

hotel for a sumptuous welcome dinner with your fellow Potter fans (unfortunately, the

Sorting Hat will be unable to attend). (D)

Day 2, Thu 14 Mar: London

Spend some time amongst the muggles on a full-day tour of London with a specialist

Harry Potter guide. Highlights of this morning’s sightseeing include Big Ben, Tower

Bridge, Platform 9¾ at Kings Cross Station and the Westminster Tube Station, which

Harry and Mr Weasley pass through en route to their Ministry of Magic hearing in the

Order of the Phoenix. This afternoon you will visit Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum,

where in 2007 Daniel Radcliffe became the youngest actor ever to be immortalised in

wax. (B)

Day 3, Fri 15 Mar: London

Apparate from your hotel to the Warner Bros Studio (a coach transfer will be provided

for non-wizards), where you will experience a behind-the-scenes Harry Potter tour. A

highlight of this unforgettable excursion is a chance to step inside Hogwarts’ most

recognisable locations, including the Great Hall, Dumbledore’s office, Professor Snape’s

potions classroom and the Gryffindor common room. You’ll also stroll along Diagon

Alley and enter a special effects workshop to see how the incredible creatures of the

Harry Potter films were brought to life. After some free time to explore, you will return to

the city centre and spend the rest of the day at your leisure. (B)

Day 4, Sat 16 Mar: London – Stonehenge – Lacock – Oxford – London

Today is spent discovering a few of southern England’s Potter-related locations. Marvel

at the mysterious prehistoric monuments of Stonehenge before continuing to Lacock, a

picturesque village that played the role of Godric’s Hollow in the film series. The

splendid Lacock Abbey was also used for a number of interior scenes in the Chamber of

Secrets. Our next stop is Oxford, where a guided walking tour lets you admire the Great

Hall at Christ Church College (better known as the Hogwarts’ dining room) and the

Bodleian Library, which wannabe wizards will recognise as the Hogwarts’ Library and

Sanatorium. Return to London late this afternoon. (B)

Day 5, Sun 17 Mar: London – Gloucester – Stratford-upon-Avon – Chester

Depart London this morning and drive to Gloucester. Venture into the Gloucester

Cathedral, whose magnificent vaulted interior was used extensively for scenes in

Hogwarts’ corridors (and unlike Harry, you won’t need an invisibility cloak to explore

them properly). Continue to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare,

England’s greatest writer (after JK Rowling of course!). Visit the bard’s birthplace and

Anne Hathaway’s Cottage before driving on to Chester, where you can spend the

afternoon discovering this delightful northern city at your leisure. (B)

Day 6, Mon 18 Mar: Chester – Lake District

Depart Chester this morning and drive to the Lake District, an impossibly scenic area that

has produced some of England’s most renowned authors and poets. Pay a visit to Dove

Cottage (the former home of William Wordsworth) as well as the nearby Wordsworth

Museum and Gallery. Spend the rest of the day soaking up the region’s natural and

literary highlights at your own pace before checking in to your country house hotel for

the night. (B)

Day 7, Tue 19 Mar: Lake District – Edinburgh

Drive through gorgeous rural landscapes and across the Scottish border to Edinburgh.

Around lunchtime we will embark on a pilgrimage to the Elephant House, the traditional

tea and coffee shop where JK Rowling gazed over Edinburgh Castle while writing the

early drafts of what would become the most successful book series of all time. This

afternoon we will enjoy a guided walking tour of the city, including the breathtaking old

buildings of the Royal Mile. (B)

Day 8, Wed 20 Mar: Depart Edinburgh

Our Harry Potter adventure comes to an end this morning. (B)
