How long is Harry Potter's Platform 9 3/4 trolley at Edinburgh Waverley?

Fans of the boy wizard were over the moon when the iconic Platform 9 ¾ trolley appeared at Edinburgh Waverley on Saturday for it’s three day stint in the Capital.

The iconic trolley shown vanishing into the wall under the Platform 9 ¾ sign is usually found at Kings Cross Station – where Harry Potter and his friends use it to access the platform and catch the Hogwarts Express.

It is visited by around two million fans every year, all desperate to get a picture with the gateway to the magical world.

It is currently on tour around the UK and will be sitting in Edinburgh Waverley from October 16 to October 18, so make sure you don’t miss out!
