Harry Potter tour
Today we went on THE HARRY POTTER TOUR! I was so excited
when we got there and saw the massive posters and signs. It took me and mum
just over 3 hours to get around the whole thing. It was soo awesome because it
was the actual sets and props that they used in the movies. We took millions of
photos including one of me in Harry and Ron’s blue car from the first movie and
the purple double-decker bus. Even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan you could
still appreciate how amazing everything was.
We got to see Hagrid’s house, Wesley’s burrow, Snape’s
potion classroom, the death eater’s masks and costumes, all the wands! And even the nimbus 2000! It showed all the
animal actors and how they have trained and all the special effects. We saw the
entire wardrobe of actor’s costumes, even Voldemorts and the invisibility
cloak. They had every prop from every single movie from all of the horcruxes to
the tri wizard cup. They even managed to fit in two of the massive fireplaces
from Gringotts and Professor Umbridge’s office. The outside had number 4 privet
drive (the Dursley’s house) and Hogwarts Bridge. After seeing all the props,
costumes and sets we went into another building that had all of the special
effects. As soon as you walked in the door you were greeted by the angry-looking faces of the dwarfs who worked at Gringots and if you looked up right above
your head was the life-size model of Aragog, Hagrid’s spider.
Everything looked so
real! We got to walk down Diagon Alley and see the shop where Harry got his
wand and where he got the nimbus 2000. In the last room, there was a scale model
of Hogwarts, with every tiny little detail, right down to the windows having
lights and little owls flying around. It took 3 months and a team of 40 to make.
This model was used for most of the shots of the outside of the castle and used
with a green screen in the flying scenes. When we walked into the room we were
gobsmacked. It was so amazing. It made me and mum (and half of the other people
in the room) cry; I loved the tour and it certainly won’t ever forget it.
