This is what a 'Harry Potter' tube map looks like

LONDON -- Imagine hopping on the tube one morning and, rather than being squished up into the stinky armpit of a suited and booted city worker, you came face to face with Lucius Malfoy on his way to do some dodgy dealings in Knockturn Alley.

Now, let your dreams turn into reality as we bring the HP universe to London in this handy and - almost, sometimes, for a very small part - geographically correct tube map.

Okay, we know witches and wizards have better ways to beat the rush hour than leaving for the Leaky Cauldron ten minutes earlier than the morning hoards, and of course there isn't one easy route from central London to the Weasley residence in Devon, but that's besides the point. Laying the wizarding world over London makes it THAT much easier for us to pretend that we're living amongst aurors and arithmancers, so why not? First stop, Diagon Alley.

Note: The users of this transport system have access to magical methods unavailable to the general public; traveling to the end of the Central Line will not get you to Azkaban.
