Ultimate Harry Potter UK Trip with Kids: London + Scotland, WB Studio Tour & Hogwarts Express Train

Описание: Kelsey sits down with Joy Smith from Franklin, TN, creator of Savvy Travel Mamas (Instagram + podcast), to share the ultimate Harry Potter-inspired trip for a 12-year-old. After Joy’s son finished all seven books, she promised to take him to iconic filming locations and bring the magic to life and in summer 2025, they did exactly that!

From London highlights and a special Harry Potter afternoon tea to the must-do Warner Bros. Studio Tour, Joy breaks down what to book early and how to plan a perfect kid-approved itinerary. Then it’s off to Scotland for jaw-dropping scenery and real-life “Hogwarts” moments, including spotting the Jacobite Steam Train (the “Hogwarts Express”) crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct and visiting the dreamy cloisters at the University of Glasgow. Tune in for practical tips, favorite moments, and the kind of trip your Harry Potter fan will never forget!
