If you see the world through a Harry Potter-tinted glasses, however, the night bus is a mythical creature.

Just to clarify, though — we do know that Harry Potter isn’t real. This is all just wishful thinking. Levanterman said that lots of people have told him the photographs remind them of Harry Potter . Levanterman explained that he was trying out a different style of photography when he took the photos of the London double decker buses. “There is a certain technique — it’s called long exposure photography. I don’t use any special equipment, just a digital camera and a tripod. But the technique is important to achieve the transparent but recognisable double deck bus but with internal ghostly trails,” Levanterman said.
