Hundreds of Harry Potter fans descended on London’s King’s Cross Station on Friday to celebrate the annual ‘Back to Hogwarts Day’, marking the fictional first day of term of the magical school.

TV personality Sam Thompson, who hosted the event, said: “I’ve had the best day, probably of life to be honest … I’ve never seen a busier Back to Hogwarts … I genuinely don’t believe there is a better fanbase than Harry Potter fans.” Report by Buseld.
