OK - not quite true. While I'm heading for a fun-laden day at 'head office' I'm handing Tom over to his Uncle Dave at Kings Cross, quite aptly as it goes, so he can go and have his birthday treat - a trip to the Harry Potter studios.

If the Ellis family experience of yesterday is anything to go by there'll be one excited boy at the end of it.

Or he'll fall asleep in Gryffyndor tower.
