Harry Potter Cafe

I'd been wanting to bring the girls to this cafe for ages.  We'd strolled up to it 3 years ago at a time when they didn't know the characters yet.  Later the Harry Potter bug did hit - the girls watched the movies again and again.  JE read the books too (SE until now hasn't read them) and especially liked the villain Draco Malfoy.  In fact, Draco is the reason she moved away from her 'first love' of BTS the Korean boy group.

However as expected, since there aren't new books nor TV shows, their interest in Harry Potter eventually waned.  Good thing the girls were still game to visit this place - not sure whether its name is "Platform 9 1/2" or "Plat9rm". 

You have to buy at least one item for each patron (the kids were excluded) in order to enter.  The drinks we chose tasted good so no problem.  The costume cost RM10 to rent without a time limit.  Staff were waiting for a batch to return from the laundrette.  JE wanted a House Slytherin costume but was fine with the available one of House Griffindor.

This must be one of the school professors hehe

There were a few nice spots in the cafe for photos.

Shall we try some dark magic?

Be very afraid, I have a wand

There was also an open area for outdoor photos.  Props were available, although some had seen better days. 

Don't forget your trunk!! And I'm still wearing your hat.

Ah my parcels of school supplies have arrived

Potions require lots of study

I shall be a smart witch, you will see

We had fun. :)  I was so glad the girls were in the mood for photos.

  1. I remember visiting this place and taking some photos there. That was before the MCO. We were free to tour the place and take photos. We didn't order any drinks there. I have visited Concubine Lane after that visit. Things have changed since then. You took beautiful photos of your girls and they are very photogenic.

    1. When I was there 3 years ago, access to the upstairs was already only for patrons. Thanks for the compliment!

  2. Very nice photos! One day you can bring them to UK for a Harry Potter tour. I didn't know that Draco is Edward Cullen in Twilight but someone recently told me so JE and SE can watch the Twilight movie series to watch more of Draco.

    1. Tq! We shall see about UK, should be far in the future. Oh Robert Pattinson is the actor who played Cedric (not Draco) in HP and Edward Cullen in Twilight. Draco is Tom Felton who didn't age well and doesn't look good now haha.
