Do You Believe In Magic?...I Do!


I was at King's Cross St. Pancras today, like almost every day actually, to change for the Hammersmith and City line as the plan of the day was to go visit my friend O. at Barbican.

That is pretty usual, I mean, me taking the Hammersith and City to go my friend's accommodation, but the unusual thing is that I was 20 minutes earlier, maybe that was itself a magic sign.

Anyway, I had spare time to have fun in the fantastic and hilarious King's Cross station when I just realized that, taking the escalator from the Tube station and going towards the old King's Cross rail station, I got to the famous Platform 9 3/4 that Harry Potter uses to go to Hogwarts!

I know it sounds pretty childish from a 21 years old, but, come on, who does not love Harry Potter and anything related to it!?
I was so excited for that, as I have watched all the films and I have read all the J. K. Rowling's books, I looked like a 6 years child with those big, curious eyes and with my camera tightly held in my hands.

The moment was magic and I asked a girl who was passing (looking at me like if I was a strange, little freak) to take pictures of me near the trolley, to immortalize that glorious moment and send them all to my jealous sister in Italy.

Oh, what if I had to jump in a wall with a trolley and have that magic journey to go to school....i would love going to school so much.....do they have journalism at Hogwarts?
