Harry Potter statue in Leicester Square, Bronze movie character statue in Leicester Square, England
The statue depicts the young wizard on his Nimbus 2000 broomstick during a Quidditch match, inspired by a scene from the first film. The bronze sculpture stands on the north terrace of Leicester Square as part of a larger collection of film character monuments in the area.
The monument was unveiled in 2020 near the cinema where the first film in the series premiered in 2001. This choice of location connects the literary story with the site where it first came to life on the big screen.
The statue is part of the Scenes in the Square collection, which displays several film characters in bronze and reflects the importance of cinema in popular culture. Walking past it, visitors can connect the film adaptations to their literary origins and appreciate how these stories have shaped entertainment.
The statue is located on the north side of the square and is easily accessible on foot from the underground station. It serves as a popular photo spot, though visiting outside peak hours allows for better photo opportunities.
The artist created the work with remarkably fine details, from the characteristic round glasses to the precise facial features. This attention to accuracy makes it a sculpture that impresses both fans and those who appreciate craftsmanship in public artworks.
