Magic at Hogwarts

12 Jan 2014


Last Sunday me and my family went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour. We are a family of die-hard fans so it was SO exciting to be surrounded by the sets and props that seemed so familiar. I don't mean this to sound cheesy, but to me it felt almost homely being there. Growing up reading the books, they became a big part of my life and the characters and sets so familiar. It was amazing to see the crazy amount of detail that goes into the films, with props that may have only been in a split-second of the film made to the same high quality as vital props. At the time that we went to the tour it was still Christmas themed, which meant lot's of little extra touches and a lot of snow around the place! Hogwarts especially was beautiful! I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures I took:


If you are a Harry Potter fan I'd definitely recommend going! It was such a fun day out, and for £30 it was definitely worth the money! We spent a good 4/5 hours there and I still felt like I could have seen more!

  3. Oh my GOSH! it's so beautiful!! I was just telling a friend how much I want to visit this set + the wizarding world of HP. I completely understand the 'homely' feeling too - even just looking at these pictures! When I was a kid I read my Harry Potter books until they fell apart, then I replaced them & I still knock the series out at least once a year when I've got free time lol.

    P.s. I only just found your blog via sprinkleofglitter & I really adore it, you know you've found a great new read when there are Harry Potter references on the first page! :)

  4. I went to the Harry Potter studio tour yesterday and loved it! It wasn't all Christmas themed when I went but they still had the snow all over the Hogwarts model at the end which was pretty cool.
    I'd love to visit it again when they have all the animal actors there though! One of my friends went last year when they were all there and said it was really good.
