Fifty-four orphans who escaped Ukraine are set to be treated to a magical experience at the Harry Potter tour in Leavesden.
The children, as young as one and two, were rescued from the Dnipro warzone before being brought to London and then Scotland last week.
No date has been set for the Leavesden visit, according to orphan charity Dnipro Kids, but the youngsters are said to be "patiently waiting".
Since settling in, they are being taught English and one child has offered to help hotel staff clean after meals.

Steven Carr, the charity's founder, helped kickstart the evacuation with support from several groups to rescue the children from five orphanges.
Upon arrival Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: “A warm welcome to Scotland @DniproKids - I know you'd all rather be at home in Ukraine but you'll find love, care and support here for as long as you need it.”

Will you open your home to a Ukrainian?
The Government has unveiled a hotline and webpage where individuals, charities, businesses and community groups will be able to offer rooms to those escaping the conflict but with no family links to the UK. We would love to hear from you if you are going to open your home up.
