Royal Family Enters the Wizarding World: A Magical Day at Hogsme Station
In a delightful twist of fate, Prince William, Princess Catherine, and their three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—made a surprise appearance at the set of the new Harry Potter series this week, captivating fans and royal watchers alike. Nestled in the enchanting Windsor Great Park, the meticulously crafted Hogsme Station, a £4 million set for the highly anticipated HBO reboot, became the backdrop for a day filled with magic and wonder.
The royal family’s first visit earlier in the week was so enchanting that they received an invitation to return for live filming on Friday evening, which they eagerly accepted. Accompanied by their mother, the young royals experienced the thrill of mingling with cast and crew, stepping into a world that has captivated audiences for decades. The highlight for little Prince Louis was undoubtedly boarding the Hogwarts Express and riding alongside the driver, an experience that left him beaming with joy.
Among the young stars the children met was 11-year-old Dominic McLaclin, who has secured the iconic role of Harry Potter. Describing the role as a lifelong dream, McLaclin’s excitement mirrored that of the royal family, further enhancing the magical atmosphere of the day.
This isn’t the Wales family’s first foray into the wizarding world. The couple has long been known for their love of the Harry Potter franchise, having previously visited the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in 2013. Their shared enthusiasm for the series has become a charming family tradition, with stories of King Charles reading the beloved books to his grandchildren further cementing the royal family’s connection to this enchanting universe.
As the day drew to a close, the royals left behind a trail of smiles and excitement, proving once again that magic exists not only in stories but in the cherished moments spent together as a family.
