Earlier this month I went to visit The Making of Harry Potter studio tour. The tour is up at the original Leavesden Studios which is about a 30 minute train ride northwest from London.
Tickets were scheduled for two hours blocks, and my time was technically from 1.30pm – 3.30pm. I ended up staying for five hours, oops.
I can’t even describe how amazing it was. The amount of detail that went into bringing JK Rowling’s world to life was incredible. As one of the, ahem, original Harry Potter fans having read Philosophers Stone in 1999 – I’M STILL WAITING FOR MY OWL – I was nearly weeping tears of happiness at being able to experience the closest I’d get to Hogwarts in real life.
