It was purely coincidental that a few days after the release of the news that the Platform 9 ¾ shop was open that I was actually heading to Kings Cross. It had been on my bucket list to visit 9 ¾ and yesterday I got the chance to visit and to get my picture taken (perhaps I will show you guys some point soon.) It is relatively hard to find a shop that sells just Harry Potter merchandise, both on the streets and online, so I think it is great that there is now an online shop to couple with the one at King’s Cross.

Like the store, the online shop sells everything from apparel to wands and prop replicas. Prices are in GBP (£) and UK delivery is £3.95. Delivery should be between 3-5 days however it does seem that they only deliver to UK addresses so sorry to all of you people outside of the UK. They do also have a returns policy where you have up to 28 days after purchase to return the item however you still have to pay the delivery charge.
The website is pretty easy to navigate, spilt into sections: Apparel, Souvenirs, Collectibles, Books & DVD’s and Sweets. Theses sections are then split into smaller sections for easy browsing. Also no house prejudices I am glad to say. Being a Hufflepuff, I do often find it hard to find things related to my house, as usually Harry Potter merchandise is dominated with Griffindor and the occasional Slytherin.
Oh, and it is also probably a good idea to give you the web address: http://www.harrypotterplatform934.com/
Though for the proper experience, I recommend at some point visiting the Platform 9 ¾ Shop in Kings Cross Station, and getting your picture taken running into 9 ¾ with your trolley and choice of scarf.
