You meet at King’s Cross with the hum of commuters and the kitsch of the Platform 9¾ trolley waiting for its next photo op. The guide gathers a small group and the city becomes a live set: narrow lanes that hint at Diagon Alley, the theatre façade of the Cursed Child, and the rumble of trains underscoring stories about the films.
