Harry Potter event loved by millions of film buffs & celebs like Jude Law AXED for good…leaving fans' lives ‘ruined'

HARRY Potter fans will be crying into their butter beers as an annual Kings Cross tradition has been permanently axed, The Sun can reveal. The 'back to Hogwarts' gathering took place every September 1 at the London train station, attracting thousands of Potterheads - many in full costume. 9 9 9 9 They'd wait with baited breath for the tongue-in-cheek announcement that the fictional Hogwarts Express would depart from platform 9 ¾ at 11am, as happens in JK Rowling's books. A sign would also appear on the departure boards signalling the train going to "Hogsmeade" the town near where Hogwarts is located. In 2018, Hollywood stars Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law even attended to promote Potter spin-off movie Fantastic Beasts 2. However, last year fans booed when the fun public address failed to take place - and now we can reveal it will not return next month. National Rail said the event had attracted far too many crowds and had posed issues for genuine travellers getting their trains. A spokesperson said the last full gathering in 2023 saw thousands of people turn up 'which made it challenging for us as station operator'. They have now confirmed to The Sun: 'It is the same for this year, in that we won't be hosting the event at the station.' Instead, organisers Wizarding World and Warner Bros Discovery are putting on an online alternative this September 1. Writing on Facebook, fans were hopeful last year was just a blip. They said at the time: 'It's so sad that this was cancelled… nice to have traditions as most things have been ruined these days.' Another added: 'It brings people together.' JK Rowling hails BBC host for refusing to say 'pregnant people' live on air And another: 'It's awful they took a small piece of fun away, life's too short." A third said: 'It was so nice that the station used to actually announce this, such fun. But I can see why they decided to end this - way too many people and too much of a disruption for a real train station.' The Potterverse is currently experiencing a boost in popularity with the upcoming Amazon-produced series, which began filming last month. The book series, written by Rowling, began with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, released in 1997, to huge commercial success. The first film, starring Daniel Radcliffe in the title role, came out in 2001. There are a total of seven books and eight films, ending in 2011. The franchise has since continued to grow exponentially, including the WB studio tour at Leavesden Studios, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter sections within Universal theme parks in Orlando, Hollywood, Japan and Beijing. More than 23 million passengers started or ended their journey at Kings Cross in 2022, according to Railway Data. A Warner Bros. Discovery spokesperson said: "Similar to last year, we can confirm that there will be no Back to Hogwarts event, announcement, or countdown at Kings Cross Station, and fans should not plan to go there on 1 st September. "We have plenty of fun in store for fans celebrating Back to Hogwarts however, both online and in person. "Plans include a special free screening of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, with a live Q&A with James and Oliver Phelps, special giveaways, competitions and more." 9 9 9 9 9

The ‘gentle giant' put out to pasture after 14 years serving the Royal family

What makes a horse fit to carry a monarch? Standing at 18 'hands' (6ft, or just shy of two meters) tall, striking an elegant and almost ghostly figure with his smooth silver coat, there was surely never a more obvious choice than Tyrone. The 'gentle and dependable giant' – in the official estimation of the Royal family – was trusted to work at almost every royal occasion for more than a decade, from the Diamond Jubilee to King Charles's coronation. Now, at the ripe old age of 19 (about 58 in human years) the Irish draught horse is being ushered out to pasture. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) After 14 years spent ferrying kings and queens to and from their most important engagements, never spooking under the glare of hundreds of press cameras and throngs of adoring fans, he will spend his retirement years at a sanctuary nestled in the tranquillity of the Chiltern Hills. It marks a fitting conclusion for the Windsor grey, whose first outing as a state ceremonial carriage horse came in 2012 when he brought Queen Elizabeth II to the state opening of Parliament that autumn. He was particularly adored by the late monarch, who was known to go out of her way to bring him carrots at the Royal Mews stables on Buckingham Palace Road. Recognition, it seems, for his steadfastness. After all, Tyrone was trusted to lead the Queen's carriage for so many important moments of her reign: including the Diamond Jubilee a mere four weeks after his service started, at several state openings of Parliament and during her visit to Royal Ascot in 2019. The late monarch herself was a dedicated equestrian who championed the role of horses in royal ceremony, particularly of the Windsor greys, who with their distinctive silver coats have been alongside the Royal family since the time of Queen Victoria. Perhaps it was Tyrone's famously tender temperament that endeared him to Elizabeth II. Those who looked after him have spoken in recent days of his 'stoic' and 'kind-natured' character. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Royal Family (@theroyalfamily) 'He's a very popular chap – a big fan favourite,' Colonel Toby Browne, the crown equerry who oversees the Royal Mews, told The Sunday Times. 'Everyone loves Tyrone. He's totally dependable, very hard-working and really deserves his retirement.' Others at the Mews recalled a giant without a single 'bad bone in his body'. He was reported to have been something of a mentor to younger horses during his time at the stables, helping them through the training process as they readied to carry carriages themselves. Tyrone's many public outings showed exactly how it was done, holding his nerve alongside the armed police and flashing motorbikes that are a necessary presence at royal outings. Whether it was Harry and Meghan on their wedding day, the King and Queen at their coronation or during French president Emmanuel Macron's state visit last month, there he was, working in a pair with another grey, or with seven others who had all been bred and reared for the task of carrying the Royals. That included his sister, Meg, who he was paired with to lead the Gold State Coach as 'wheelers', the calmest horses positioned closest to the carriage, on many occasions. Last June, Tyrone was trusted to help carry the coach as the Princess of Wales made her return to public life after announcing she was battling cancer – dutifully escorting Catherine, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as they made their way from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade and back again as part of annual Trooping the Colour celebrations. The late Queen 'loved the fact there was a family connection', Col Browne said. Tyrone has an especially venerable ancestry. His father Carrickrock Storm (known affectionately to the Royals only as Storm), born in 2002, stood out from the other foals on the paddock in Ardstraw, County Tyrone. 'He had a great temperament,' Harry Wilson, a farmer who helped to rear him, told the BBC in 2015. 'The first time you put the head cover on he was quiet as a lamb.' After moving to London, Storm quickly earned the Queen's trust. In 2012, he modelled for a statue to mark the Diamond Jubilee alongside another grey, called Daniel, that now stands on a roundabout near Windsor Castle. Both Tyrone and Meg clearly inherited something of their father's spirit. The latter, now 20, was first to leave the family paddock in Ireland (where many royal carriage horses are bred) for the Royal Mews in 2008. Tyrone left two years later, aged four. At 11am on Monday, the siblings and their father, now 26, were reunited at the Horse Trust in Buckinghamshire, a sanctuary for retired working horses. Some 75 per cent of the creatures there have served in the Army, with the police, or with the Household Cavalry. According to those who witnessed his arrival, Tyrone immediately bounded over to Meg and Storm. The trio touched noses as they greeted one another. Given that Irish draught horses regularly live to see 30, it is hoped that Tyrone has many happy and healthy years ahead. 'After all his years of public service, bringing joy and pride to the country, it's time for us to serve him and give him the best possible life here, where our horses are treated like royalty,' said Jeanette Allen, chief executive of The Horse Trust, the charity which counts Princess Anne as its patron and to which the late Queen was a donor. Tyrone left London in a covered red horse box, a typically understated exit for a mount who never tried to steal the limelight. But he will always be special, as the gentle, handsome and above all loyal creature who calmed the nerves of the Royals in their most strained hours.

Elizabeth Hurley poses in a COFFIN after transforming into the mysterious benefactor The Deceased as Channel 4 share first look at cunning new gameshow The Inheritance

Elizabeth Hurley proved that she can still look incredible - even while lying in a coffin - in the trailer for the new Channel 4 gameshow The Inheritance. The model, 60, plays 'The Deceased' in the entertaining trailer, which sees a stately home being plundered of expensive goods. Elizabeth, dressed in a plunging gold sequin dress, says: 'If haven't noticed, darlings, I'm dead, which means my entire estate is up for grabs.' Playing the part of a glamorous benefactor in the show, Elizabeth puts 13 contestants through their paces as they make their bid for her inheritance. However, if they want to get a large share of it, they will need to be cunning to win at her mischievous game. The game is overseen by Robert Rinder, 47, who is The Deceased's Executor and trusted legal counsel. The Deceased understands that people will go to great lengths to win her inheritance, but in her mind, only the most cunning among the contestants deserve to have it. That is why Hurley's character devised 'a series of devilishly difficult assignments' to ensure this happens. These are reported to put the players' diligence, decency and ruthlessness to the test. The game also has a twist - only one player can collect the inheritance from each request. This means that they will have to convince their fellow competitors that they deserve the windfall. Channel 4 said: 'The Inheritance is a camp, cut-throat game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal. 'It's not about who deserves the money, but who can outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the rest to claim it. ' The show has already been likened to the smash hit, The Traitors, which has a similar premise. The BBC show sees players move into Ardoss Castle in the Scottish Highlands where an informed minority (known as the Traitors) must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the Faithfuls). Elizabeth said: 'It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene.' Rob added: 'This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.'
