Harry Potter fans better get their Hogwarts house in order as this autumn they'll be leaving to visit the famous Platform 9 ¾ trolley at Cardiff Central Station.
The installation allows fans to recreate the moment when Harry first made it onto Platform 9 ¾, by running through a magical brick wall in London’s King’s Cross station, before taking the 11 o’clock train to Hogwarts, which it did every year on September 1.
It will be in Cardiff from Tuesday, October 26 to Thursday, October 28. The trolley is also visiting Birmingham, Edinburgh and Belfast

It's going on tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone's release in UK cinemas, back in 2001.
On the launch day for each station fans will be invited to witness the reveal of the trolley and be encouraged to capture pictures in their best Wizarding World-inspired outfits.
The trolley will be located in the foyer area of Cardiff Central, so you don't have to get on a train to see it.
The trolley, a symbol of the gateway between the ‘Muggle’ and wizarding world, is usually situated on the concourse of King’s Cross Station, alongside the Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9 ¾, and is visited every year by over two million people, serving as a symbol of the Harry Potter legacy for the last two decades, but soon cities across the UK will be able to experience the magic too.
The tour is a thank you to the fan community for their love and support over the past two decades and help them capture their own version of this iconic moment from the first film .
The official 20th Anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone will be celebrated on November 16.
