Literary scenes: Part 2

More literary scenes, now on a more popular theme:


If you're familiar with Harry Potter, you'll understand this photograph of Platform 9 and 3/4 at the King's Cross railway station. The station apparently has set up this baggage cart disappearing into the wall to show they've anticipated the many fans who look for this platform.


Susan and the Peter Pan statue in our backyard -- that is, in Kensington Gardens. J. M. Barrie set this statue up to surprise the children for whom he had written Peter Pan.


Susan Bryant, Consulting Detective, and Dr. Watson discussing the finer points of a case in the reconstructed parlor of 221b Baker Street, the Sherlock Holmes museum. There were some wax figures in the exhibits here, but this guy was real.
