My Day Out – Warner Bros. Studio Tour

Hi Guys 🙂

I got some lovely feedback on my last blog post on twitter – so thankyou SO much to everyone who took the time to read it and give me some feedback! 🙂 I loved writing my last post and couldn’t wait to write the next one, definitely think i’ve caught the blogging bug! 🙂

On Sunday (30th August) I finally got to visit the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studios in Watford, England. I’ve been a massive Harry Potter fan since a young age, I was only 5 when the books first came out but as soon as I was old enough to understand and read them properly, I was hooked. I remember my Dad taking me to the cinema to watch The Chamber of Secrets – it’s one of my favourite memories from when I was younger. I’ve read the books countless times as I grew up and started to understand them more and i’ve loved them ever since. I’m not a huge fan of fantasy world books, i’m more of a chick lit kind of girl!! But Harry Potter is an exception – it’s a bit of an escapism from the real world and always one of my go – to books if I need a bit of time out. I’m still waiting patiently for my Hogwarts Letter!!! 😉

So anyway, I was amazed by the Harry Potter Studios, watching the films, as amazing as they are, you don’t always appreciate the hard work that goes into them. I was amazed at how many people it took, and the timescale it took to make everything – from the Hogwarts Castle to a Puking Pastille! I honestly got goosebumps as soon as I walked into the Great Hall – it was so beautiful and so much effort must have been put in to make it. I had to take a photo of the Hufflepuff Badge – I’m a proud Hufflepuff! 🙂

Puff Pride!

I won’t bore you with every single thing I saw whilst I was there and this would be about 9349786766565 words long, so I just thought i’d share some photos of my favourite things – The Hogwarts Express, Knight Bus, Diagon Alley and the Castle to name a few! 😉 If you’ve never been then i’d definitely recommend it, even if you’re not a huge fan, it’s definitely worth the visit just to see what actually goes in to making the films! 🙂

The Staff in the Great Hall

I loved the Potions classroom – i think this would have been my favourite class at Hogwarts!

The Burrow is the cutest little house! So detailed!

The Fireplaces at the Ministry of Magic were amazing – each brick was individually shaded in by hand, it must have taken so long to do!

Probably my favourite part of the tour – it was Breathtaking!

Platofrm 9 and 3/4 this way!

If i can’t go to Hogwarts, I want to live here! 😉

Wizards Chess

Weasley’s Wizards Wheezes – I wish we could have gone in!

The Castle is so so beautiful – the pictures don’t do it justice!
