I am a huge Harry Potter fan. To explain this I won most likely to go to Hogwarts my senior year of high school. And people I didn't even really know told me they voted for me. Because my friends did tie Thursday's at our school and I always wore a slytherin polo with my slytherin tie. To show off my slytherin pride of course. Did I mention that I am a slytherin? Words can't really explain how amazing the studio tour is. But I will try to sum it up and show photos for you. More photos are on my Facebook page Jessy Jenkins.
Something amazing happened at the very start. I was wearing a birthday pin on my shirt so I got to open the doors to the great hall set which was incredible. I almost cried. I was so excited when I opened the door I accidentally banged it on the wall. Oops! It's so amazing to walk on a set of a movie you cherish and love so much. I honestly can't explain how I felt walking in the great hall. It was a dream come true.
Then we got to walk around this huge room that had a bunch of props, costumes, and set pieces from all the films. The gates of Hogwarts (shown above), Hagrids hut, the potions classroom, Umbridge's office, Ministry of Magic! Just some examples to share with you in set pieces. They had special effects area where you can ride a broom and the put you through different places in the movies. That video will be up on YouTube once I get back to the states.
Next you got to see the real Hogwarts Express! Which was actually a little smaller than I thought, but still really cool. Then they had separate rooms from the train where they took your photo and then play a video on the screen, which was the window, traveling on the train.
The outside area has a little cafe where I got Butterbeer ice cream and they have big outside set pieces. Like in the photo above I got to see Privet Drive and other fun things like the Knight Bus. Again don't want to give too much away.
Inside building two showed creature creating and how they designed and built sets. Which lead to walking on the original Diagon Alley set. Which is a lot smaller than the one at Universal. But still amazing to see. It just makes you think so much about the movies walking on this set. Especially the first movie when Harry first goes to Diagon Alley.
The last room is something you must go and see on your own! It is shown in my YouTube video but I didn't want to post a photo and spoil it for anyone going to the studio. But I have photos on my Facebook page and it's in the video on YouTube. I really recommend doing this your even if you're not the biggest fan of Harry Potter. It's a really fun experience that you shouldn't miss out on.
