Londoners stunned to see Harry Potter’s Aunt Marge drifting across skyline
Londoners were left bemused after spotting Harry Potter’s Aunt Marge suspended in mid-air by Tower Bridge.
The hefty replica played on the comical scene in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where Harry Potter unintentionally casts an inflating charm on his Aunt Marge, causing her to inflate like a balloon and float away.
Weighing a staggering 95kgs, with a circumference spanning 11.7m, the bulging Aunt Marge appeared to be hovering in front of the iconic landmark.
Coming in at 6.5 metres high, it took 40m3 of air to inflate the colossal figure – enough to fill 140 standard party balloons.
It was launched into the ether to mark the unveiling of a new Return to Azkaban [https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/whats-on/return-to-azkaban/] feature at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter, which marks the 20th anniversary of the cinematic release of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
