"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
The London City Hall (sometimes known as Old City Hall) was the headquarters of the Greater London Authority which comprises the Mayor of London and London Assembly. It is located in Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge and 30 St Mary Axe, and across from the Tower of London on the north bank.
History[]
In the summer of 1996, Sofie worked at the City Hall and there, one day, together with her co-workers, witnessed the Dark Mark appearing in the sky towering over the City of London, and the Millennium Bridge collapsing. This attack was led by Fenrir Greyback and a rally of Death Eaters, who were celebrating having captured and kidnapped Garrick Ollivander and Florean Fortescue from their shops in Diagon Alley for their leader, Lord Voldemort.[1]
