Harry Potter locations across the UK have been drawing in both muggles and wizards for years, but there's one spot proving particularly popular.
In fact, Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in London has been revealed as the most popular Harry Potter inspired attraction, according to data released by Uber.
The company looked at the popular locations both featuring in the novels as well as popular Harry Potter filming locations , as well as other magical spots inspired by the franchise.
Uber revealed that, out of the quarter million Uber journeys taken to 15 Harry Potter spots across the UK, it was the iconic platform leading to the Hogwarts Express which never fails to be a hit.
Head to London King's Cross and you'll find queues of fans waiting to get their turn to pose at the famous wall with their trolley before magically disappearing into the Wizarding World (actually, there's a Harry Potter shop next to it where you can pick up some magical souvenirs).
The platform didn't actually serve as a filming location during the HP franchise, but it is of course an iconic location from the novels.
Second place went to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - the Making of Harry Potter, a magical experience for fans where you can wander around the real sets used in the films, get behind-the-scenes secrets and get up close to iconic props and costumes.
Oh, and of course there are heaps of photo opps!
Third place went to Leadenhall Market in London which served as a filming spot for Diagon Alley scenes in the films.
Other popular haunts included two spots in Edinburgh where J.K Rowling wrote the books; that includes the Spoon Café where she wrote the first novel, as well as the Balmoral Hotel where she penned the last instalment.
