It would seem a landmark for Wizards and Muggles alike is under threat, as a new report says a bridge and clock at King’s Cross station in London, England may be removed as part of an expansion project. Update: In this ITN video (now available here in our galleries) you can see the bridge and clock area that is possibly to be removed as part of the renovation. This area, which was most recently seen in “Order of the Phoenix,” is all part of an area that is the site of thousands and thousands of visitors to the London train station . ITN is reporting that there is an effort afoot to save this area as the article says: “Architect and TV presenter Ptolemy Dean is leading the campaign to stop the bridge being destroyed. He said: “King’s Cross will lose its rather beautiful and lovely structure which characterises it’s views. It’s a a gateway to the north really and one feels very sad that it’s going. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the last book in the boy wizard series and features a chapter called King’s Cross, where a location resembling the station plays a significant role.The station is also featured in the epilogue of the same book, making it the final setting of the Harry Potter series.”

I am traveling Europe this summer and Kings cross is my first stop in London specifically to see this! I’m sure it wouldn’t be down by then if they decide to….right? Anyone know?
You’ve got to be kidding! But they cannot! Wha – we’ll save it. Nufink like a horde of psychotic Potterheads carping over a bridge … XD
There’s no sort of petition or anything, is there? I
NOOOOO!!! Dont do that please. It’s like monument, a symbol. We need to do something… sigh a petition, a human wall, something that can show our love for Harry Potter and all the things that have some relation with it. If i i live in England…

And Moody thought he, Harry, ought to be an Auror! Interesting idea... but somehow, Harry thought, as he got quietly into his four-poster ten minutes later, the egg and the cloak now safely back in his trunk, he thought he'd like to check how scarred the
