Little Whinging's location within Surrey
Since Rubeus Hagrid farewelled Harry Potter from London Paddington after taking him shopping in 1991 at Diagon Alley, Harry Potter probably took a commuter rail service bound for Reading (the Muggle train company in 1991 was ); thus, it can be inferred that Little Whinging is in the northern part of Surrey, north of, and that Harry got off the train at , West Drayton, Iver, Langley or Slough. The greater part of Surrey is normally served by trains from London Waterloo or London Victoria. The South Western line from Waterloo would have also been an efficient way to reach this northern tip of Surrey; it has a station on the Surrey - Berkshire border. At the beginning of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film), Harry is seen at Surbiton station, on this line, indicating that he lived in this general area.
