Warner Brother Studio Tour - The Making of Harry Potter

Monday (the 19th of November) was spent in Watford at the Warner Brothers Studio Tour - The Making of Harry Potter. I have always been a fan of Harry Potter - like most I've watched the films more than several times, and had a good go at reading the books but never nearing too far into the story as a result of achy hands due to trying to hold the hearty book for too long. I love to watch Harry Potter at this time of the year especially, as it all seems Christmass-y and autumnal. So going to visit the studios where a handful of the scenes were filmed, and experiencing the magic behind the spells, quidditch, costumes and the sets was most exciting. It was the best day out, and I would highly recommend going if you're a Harry Potter fan, or not.
Each room was magical, but completely transformed by the snow/Christmas elements that was put in place on the 16th of November for the run up to the festive season. Privet Drive, platform 9 and 3/4, the forbidden forest, the great hall, the Ministry of Magic, and the flying car are just a few of the amazing props and sets that you can experience there. You can even try butterbeer! (It wasn't for me). The gift shop is filled to the brim with all kinds of Harry Potter merchandise. So if the Primark Harry Potter collection isn't quite making it for you, you're bound to find something in the shop at the studios. From chocolate frogs, to tea towels.. they have it all. It's such an experience, and without spoiling too much for those of you that are yet to go - here are some of the photos that I got from the day.

One thing I would suggest if you're dying to go is to book in advance. It is definitely hard to work out the dates that you want if you don't plan ahead. It's was such a good day and I'm sure it'll make you love Harry Potter even more.

What's your favourite Harry Potter book or film?
