On the 6th of May 2017, me and my mum went to the Warner Brother studios in London.
We had been looking forward to it for a while now as it was my main present on my birthday that was on the 1st of March so a good 2 months I had been so excited to go!
When we wear near to our wonderful destination we stopped off at McDonalds, we ate in the car park of the studios as we drove there before we ate it.
Even just looking at the outside of the magical world holding nearly everything that help make my favorite movies was so exciting!
When we got inside we saw all the huge photos of some of the characters hung around the room, we looked in the gift shop as we were a bit early for our tour. We then got in line whilst mum played Pokemon GO!
When you line up you get to see the cupboard under the stairs AKA Harry's bedroom in the 1st movie at the Dursley's.
You then go through into this room with a man with a microphone and whilst you wait for other people to com through he does a Harry Potter trivia!
You then watch a clip about how J.K Rowling wrote it and the publishers that read it and decided whether it would be published or not.
Then you go through to a big cinema where you watch a movie about behind the scenes and about Rupert, Emma and Daniel talking and there experience on set and there journey from the 1st to the last movie.
You then go through the big doors and into the great hall you see the costumes and I especially was amazed at how big Hagrid's costume was, It was huge!
You then get to go and look at what ever you want you get to see the sets for Dumbledoors office, Gryffindoor common room, boys dormitory, potions class and the Minestry of magic set and loads more! You also see how they make the car and Hagrid's motor bike move and all the other moving props.
You then go to the forbidden forest, this part my Mum didn't see the last two times she went as the forest and the train station was new, so my Mum was excited about that. In the forest you see Buckbeak, you then walk through more of the forest with big dark frees that look real but are 100% fake you get to choose whether to go thw way with or without spiders, me and Mum went with the spiders and the big spider comes out when the man says action and all the little spiders drop down theres also wind and cool storm sound affects. You then get to see a model of a deerhound with loads of lights on it as thats how they filmed Harry's patronus.
Then you walk through to platform 9 and 3/4 and there's things where you have to guess who's luggage it is from there initinals and the things in their luggage.
You then see the huge bright red glossy train but before we went in me and mum looked in the train station gift shop and all the stuff in there you couldn't get in the main gift shop.
Then we saw this cool acting thing were you sit in a carriage behind a green screen and a director talks to you through a speaker and talks to you and tells you how to act, you do a run through were the camera takes photos of you and then the green screen turns on and you do the real thing, you have to pretend to be all happy and its the 1st of September and your the 1st years and your so excited to go to Hogwarts then you have to try and catch a chocolate frog on the window and then you have to act all scared as the dementors are outside.
Mum didn't want to do as she thought it was embarrassing so she opted out of doing it so I did it all by myself and it was so funny I hid on the floor when the dementors came. Mum filmed it and then she did it with me and I jumped in her lap when the dementors came and the photo was so funny so I brought it and on the bit where you have to act all excited as its your first year me and Mum pretend had an argument saying stuff like well my cat will eat your rat and it was hilarious!
We then went on the train and you cant actually go in the carriages but each one is set up for each movie.
Then we had butter beer and looked at the outside bits which was the night time bus the Dursley's house at no.4 private drive and you can even go in and see the living room with loads of letters hanging from the ceiling. You also see the house Harry used to live in before Voldemort killed his parents.
You can also take photos in the sidecar and the flying car!
You then see the wax figures of Dumbledoor, Ron, Hermione and Harry. You can also press buttons and make things move like Hedwig and Voldemort as a weak bony looking baby.
Then you look at some of the art from people and so replicas of how people planned and designed the sets and stuff. I then had a massive surprise when I walked into one of the best bits of the whole tour the ginormous castle sculpture which I was not at all expecting to be that big you can also watch a video of how they made in fast forward and you can zoom into the castle to look at over parts of the castle in more detail.
Then there's a big room with over 2,000 boxes for wands with every actor, makeup artist and set designer anyone that has ever helped to make the movies. There's a women with a laser pointer and you can ask her any name and she shows you where it is here are some photos.













Most photos taken by my Mum.
We then got a lot of stuff at the gift shop and I got Hermione's wand which I love so much!
At the end of the day if you have never been to Warner Brother's Studio's than I 100% recommend you go, its one of the best days of my life and ever room every step you see something magical that is so interesting and I'm so happy and overjoyed that I got to go as I found it so interesting and so thankful to my Mum for taking me, so thanks Mum!
Overall I had the most amazing and day and loved it so much every single bit of it even waiting in queue!
