London: one of the Harry Potter's places/Лондон: одно из мест Гарри Поттера

In London, inside the King's Cross station, where, according to the series of books by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter was leaving to go to his school, there is a little place devoted to this fictional hero.

В Лондоне, на станции Кингз Кросс, откуда, по книге, уезжал на учебу Гарри Поттер, есть небольшой памятник серии книг.


You can have your picture taken as if you are going through the wall to the special platform. You can also have the glasses on and a scarf.

Здесь любого могут сфотографировать как будто он/она проходит через стену на скрытую платформу. Даже выдадут очки и шарфик.

The only thing is to wait for your turn in the line of about fifty people. Then, for a "small" fee, one can get the studio-quality picture in the nearby store. All the goods in the store are based on the items mentioned in the series of books.

Всего-то надо отстоять очередь в человек пятьдесят, а потом за "скромное" вознаграждение можно даже получить фотографию в студийном качестве в находящемся рядом магазине. Все товары в магазине так или иначе посвящены серии книг.

A toy store/Магазин игрушек

Basically, any toy store has such a department.

Такой отдел есть в любом магазине игрушек.





Children of all ages joyfully spend time in this department.

Дети любого возраста с удовольствием проводят время в этом отделе.
