Location and Atmosphere
Pros:
"The shop is located inside King's Cross Station in London, right near where Platform 9¾ is marked on the wall between platforms 9 and 10."
"Inside the shop feels very magical and immerses you in the Harry Potter world."
Cons:
"It is extremely crowded and busy, especially on weekends and during holidays."
"The shop can get very cramped and crowded as well."
"They have shifted the actual platform location to a different place to adjust the crowd."
"The station is modern and clean, with the cleanest bathrooms that I've seen in London."

Merchandise Selection
Pros:
"It has a huge selection of Harry Potter merchandise including clothing, books, wands, candy, collectibles and more."
"Fantastic! Loved it! They have put up almost everything you can imagine from the world of Harry Potter in store."
"This Harry Potter shop has all the things you want and more. You can get some confectionery and a letter of acceptance from Hogwarts with your name on it."
"Nice Harry Potter shop if you are a fun. You can also take a picture with the trolley outside."
Cons:
"However, all items are highly overpriced. £7 for just a magnet is crazy."
"The shop was welcoming but extremely crowded, which made it hard to browse comfortably."
"Although this is a great place for Harry Potter fans, several things make this visit a bad experience."
Photo Opportunity
Pros:

"Unforgettable memories, and you can buy the printed copies after you enter the shop!"
"Great shop!! Got completely absorbed into the decorations and stuff they had inside. The staff are really nice and there is a great selection of merchandise. The photo stand outside takes a while as the line is big but I recommend it as the photos do come out great."
Cons:
"You may have to wait over an hour in the long line just to get your photo taken."
"The photo booth outside is designed to take photos and create memories. But the staff there are extremely rude."
"The wait to take a picture was painful and well over an hour!!!"
