- "Harry didn't speak at all as they walked down the road; he didn't even notice how much people were gawking at them on the Underground, laden as they were with all their funny-shaped packages, with the snowy owl asleep in its cage on Harry's lap. Up another escalator, out into Paddington station; Harry only realised where they were when Hagrid tapped him on the shoulder."
- — Harry Potter travelling with Rubeus Hagrid[src]
Paddington Station is a busy railway station in central London, similar to King's Cross Station.[1]
