But this is no ordinary tree. Instead, this tree pays homage to one of the most beloved franchises in the world. The tree hides a treasure trove of Easter eggs (Christmas eggs?) for fans to discover. There\u2019s even a <strong>Honeydukes confectionery counter built into the tree, where visitors can purchase the iconic \u201cBertie Bott\u2019s Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Butterbeer cookies and bottled Butterbeer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-347224\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"a harry potter themed honeydukes store, with two people purchasing candy from someone behind the counter\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WBKingsCross2_Edit_13.jpg\"\/>Credit: Simon Jacobs\/PA Media Assignments The Harry Potter Christmas tree <\/p>\n<p>The base of the tree is made up of model buildings, inspired by the shops in the <a href=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/white-christmas-odds-london\/\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_self\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/white-christmas-odds-london\/\" data-action=\"text_cta_3\" data-category=\"click_internal\">snow-covered village<\/a> of Hogsmeade. The tree stretches up and out from behind the storefronts. Amongst its branches, you\u2019ll spot <strong>hundreds of baubles (in Harry\u2019s beloved Gryffindor colours), letters from Hogwarts addressed to Harry Potter, and presents for the franchise\u2019s beloved characters<\/strong>. And perched at the very top is the familiar snowy owl Hedwig, clutching a delivery of her own.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a fitting location for the tree, as fans of the book series will know. After all, young wizards and witches make their way to Hogwarts via the Hogwarts Express. This picks them up from Platform 9\u00be at King\u2019s Cross Station. So, <strong>naturally, the Harry Potter Christmas tree could only really pop up at King\u2019s Cross, mere steps away from the station\u2019s Platform 9\u00be installation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-347222\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"baubles and letters adorning a harry potter themed christmas tree, with the departure board for king's cross visible in the background\" width=\"1200\" height=\"795\" data-lazy- data-lazy- data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WBKingsCross2_Edit_03.jpg\"\/>Credit: Simon Jacobs\/PA Media Assignments <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Find the Harry Potter Christmas tree at King\u2019s Cross Station, Euston Road, N1C 4AP.<br \/>\ud83e\ude84 The Harry Potter Christmas tree installation will be in place until January 5, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Simon Jacobs\/PA Media Assignments Save If there\u2019s one word that comes to mind when wandering around London&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":597925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[23787,748,35745,393,2699,4884,257,16,15,59345],"class_list":{"0":"post-597924","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-adventure","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-christmas","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-fantasy","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-london","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-winter"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115623801146127074","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=597924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/597925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=597924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=597924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=597924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
