Description
Our round wall clock takes its design from Platform 9¾ in the Harry Potter stories, finished all over in a metallic effect gold. The word PLATFORM arches across the top, a bold 9¾ fills the centre of the dial and the numerals 1 to 12 sit inside an open outer ring, so your wall shows through the gaps and becomes part of the look. Slim gold hands turn from a neat centre boss and read clearly against the large figures. It measures 45cm from top to bottom, 42.5cm across and 2.5cm deep, a generous size that holds its own on a large wall or above a fireplace.
It brings a cheerful touch to a hallway, study, kitchen or living room, and it is just as at home in a child's or teenager's bedroom, where a young fan can keep an eye on the time before school. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for Harry Potter fans of all ages, from children of three to twelve and teenagers to the mums and dads who love the books too. Hung near a bookcase or a reading chair, it gives a familiar corner of the house a little of that famous station's charm.
The clock runs on one AA battery, a common size that is easy to find and change when the time comes. The metallic effect gold finish covers the lettering, the numerals and the frame alike, and at just 2.5cm deep the clock sits close to the wall, so it suits a narrow landing or a busy hallway where a deeper clock would jut out. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners. For a gift with real character, wrap it for the Harry Potter fan in your family and suggest a spot opposite a window, where its gold figures catch the daylight.
