Your "Beasts" Bebes Jude Law and Eddie Redmayne Visited Actual Platform 9 and ¾

Their magic is real.

Jude Law and Eddie Redmayne—AKA Albus Dumbledore and Newt Scamander from the Fantastic Beasts franchise—dropped in on King’s Cross station in London over the weekend, to take photos with fans in front of actual Platform 9 and ¾.

Due to International Statute of Secrecy, we’re unable to confirm if the 11:00 #KingsCross to #Edinburgh is the Hogwarts Express, but we would advise all muggles to stay away from Platform 9¾. 🧙‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/wP6rCUUyES

This is, of course, the magical spot from the Harry Potter universe where young wizards and witches can board the train to Hogwarts. In the real world, it was commemorated with a plaque and a trolley that appears halfway stuck through the wall (through which only magical folk can pass, obvs).

With their new film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald out soon, Law and Redmayne pretended to catch the 11am train back to Hogwarts.

Instead, what they caught… was everyone’s hearts.

 

Name a more iconic duo... We’ll wait. Head to our Story to see what happened when Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law surprised fans at London’s King’s Cross station! #BackToHogwarts #FantasticBeasts

The feelings were real, even for those who didn’t make it.

A little upset Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law (Newt Scamander and young Dumbledore for all you uncultured swine) were at King’s Cross today for the first day of school at Hogwarts. That’s like 2 hours away from us 😭

I'm so sad because Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law were at King's Cross today AND I WASN'T THERE. One year I will be in London there on September 1st... one year. #LifeGoal

Thankfully, there was no sight of their other Crimes of Grindelwald co-star, AKA He Who Must Not Be Named.

The Crimes of Grindewald hits Aussie cinemas 15 November.
