Potter fans urged to avoid station

Harry Potter fans are being asked not to congregate at King’s Cross station on 1 September for the annual Back To Hogwarts celebration.

Instead there will be a livestreamed event featuring appearances from stars of the films including James and Oliver Phelps, Jason Isaacs and Bonnie Wright.

James Phelps said: “2020 has definitely been a strange year and it’s really important that we all do everything we can to keep safe, including staying home. I hope fans will keep the celebrations virtual.”
