Go Pot-ty on this walk
9:32am Friday 4th January 2008
THE Myths and Legends Behind Harry Potter - Wizards, Werewolves & Vampires walk is a great way for the family to take in some of the sights in the area.
During the walk you can discover if there really was such a thing as an invisibility cloak, the truth behind the Philosophers' Stone, what place inspired Diagon Alley and much more.
The walk delves into lots of gripping information behind a lot of the Harry Potter goings on - from characters' names to the origin of monsters.
Walkers assemble outside Embankment tube station at 5pm each Sunday, where they meet their guide for the evening.
