A Magical Experince

This evening we went to "The Making of Harry Potter" tour. We got there and straight away we had a 1/2 a hour wait in the mammoth line, while waiting we saw a little girl in her Hermione costume and a few moments later a 30 year old man dressed in the full £249.99 Harry Potter costume who was ecstatic about a seeing a picture of J.K.Rowling.



The entrance to the exhibition

We walked in and immediately were blown away, we had walked in to the Great Hall where Harry was put into Griffyindor by the "Sorting Hat" and many more famous scenes.


Inside the Great Hall

We saw all of the famous sets, props and CGI characters being made. Half way through the tour you were taken outside and were given a chance to taste the famous Butter beer. It was really nice and quite unique, if you ever come here Butter beer is a must try.

Walking towards the end we saw the makeup and costume section were they make the masks and models for the Gringotts' Goblins, the Werewolf and of course... DOBBY


DOBBY!

At one point you come upon the greatest feature in the whole exhibition... The 1:24 scale model of Hogwarts.


This is one of the greatest tours and attractions I have ever done! This is a definite if you ever come to the UK!
