10 Movie Locations That Became Immortalised Thanks To Fans

10. Platform 9 3/4, King's Cross Station, London (Harry Potter)

As far as fanbases go, there aren't many who can match the devoted Harry Potter wizarding-worshippers that currently occupy our Muggle world.

As you'd expect - after years of magical universe building and spending so many of its iconic Potter moments in/around British landmarks - the wizarding world is responsible for its fair amount of tourist hotspots.

From the ancient Alnwick Castle in Northumberland (exterior Hogwarts as you and I know it) to Leadenhall Market in London (Diagon Alley) the Potter-verse has firmly embedded itself into the U.K. - but there was one popular site that started it all.

Platform 9 ¾ at King's Cross Station in London.

Ever since Harry first tried to bundle his way through that stoic pillar in the middle of those famous train platforms, fans have gathered in droves to take pictures next to the fabled bricks.

A baggage trolley can now be found lodged into the mystical gateway and - even though Muggles are advised not to attempt to cross over into the magical world - you can't blame the odd one or two for bounding at the wall in hope.

Again, it's probably wise to just take a picture...but who am I to stifle an unrealised witch or wizard.
