Harry Potter Studio Tour 2015 Part 3

Hi all,

WARNING: If you are going to the studio tour soon and want to be surprised, don't scroll down! Loads of pictures are below...

Welcome back :) I hope you have enjoyed my posts so far. Get ready for the 3rd and final post for my most recent visit to the Warner Bros Studio Tour in Watford, London. 



I love looking at the amount of detail in this part of the tour <3

Had to get a selfie with Buckbeak! (Don't worry I bowed and he bowed back, he was cool with this pic xD)

Welcome to Diagon Alley 


A little demonstration of how the lit the wands for Lumos. (Magic obviously ;))



Mark's first look at Hogwarts, we made him close his eyes so it was a massive surprise :D

Must have selfie! I should photoshop this so it looks like we are truly there! Challenge accepted! 





My traditional pic in front of Hogwarts <3

Looks better in the dark :D We left the tour at about 9:50pm, would have stayed later but we had already been there from 6pm xD. Oh I forgot! Our Butterbeer was tasty :) even better when it is free xD

So I have a mini haul, I wish I could have gotten more but as we had just moved house the weekend before we went, I didn't have as much money has I had hoped. Had to keep most of my money for Disney (posts coming soon)

First up, I had seen these T-shirts in my past visits but I wasn't sure about the glittery design. I finally caved in as this was one of the few things I could afford that I felt comfortable spending a bit of money on. It was £19.99. So far, the design hasn't come off :)

I got this from the Platform 9 3/4 shop :) Just need a bracelet to put it on :). I was going to buy the bracelet it goes with but it is plated silver, which I am not a fan of. Hope to get a pandora bracelet for christmas (fingers crossed).

Finally, there is the guide book we got with the ticket, signed by special effects supervisor John Richardson. You can just about see the stamps I put in the corner, around the tour there are stamp machines, I'm not sure what you are supposed to stamp so I used my book :/. I got about 5 I think :). 

I hope you enjoyed my Harry Potter Tour posts! 

Have you been to the Studio Tour? If so, what was your favourite part?

Welcome to part 2 of my Harry Potter trip :), I apologise for taking so long to post these! I have have Disney posts to do as well, just bare with me! 



Duh duh duh!!! There are no words for how excited I was when I saw this!! 






After years of wanting a picture with this, I finally got it! 






Mark and Cat on their way through the wall :)





Woo about to enter the Hogwarts Express!!








Exit selfie :)






My 3rd pic in front of the Knight Bus xD 








Mark is Harry, I am Dumbledore and Cat is McGonagall (if you couldn't tell xD)








I love the picture opportunities in the back lot! It's such a fun place to be. 

Well a short and sweet post this time, I hope you liked the pictures. Let me know if you have taken any crazy pictures in the back lot or any part of the Studio Tour :).

Harry Potter Studio Tour 2015 Part 1

Hi all, 

WARNING: If you are going to the studio tour soon and want to be surprised, don't scroll down! Loads of pictures are below...

I apologise for not doing this post for a week, can't believe that this time last week I was walking around the studio tour :(. This was my 3rd time visiting the studio tour, my sister found a special event online through Golden Tours for this time around. The event involved going to the tour after hours receiving a spooky cocktail (non-alcoholic was available) by Harry's cupboard under the stairs, a preview of the dark arts feature before the public, a guidebook signed by special effects supervisor John Richardson and a butterbeer. It cost £49 which was a bargain considering a ticket is usually £35. 

When I was packing to leave, Bella wanted to come along xD 

Started off with a Chiquitos when we first arrived in London. 



Luckily Mark and Cat (Uni friends) got tickets too and we met on the bus to the tour :) was so great to see them again after so long and even better that it was at the studio tour! 



So pleased there were Death Eaters :D had to get a pic! The first one I saw was behind me and I nearly died because I forgot they were there! One snuck up on Mark and Cat too xD 


Me and Granny Snape xD 



We learnt some wand combat moves from this legend


I loved the Malfoy Manor table <3 <3






One thing I noticed was that the times I have been in the past, I was so busy taking pictures that I didn't take in all the detail thats in there. For instance Remus Lupin had some proper dodgy shoes with his full tweed suit..... xD

So that is the end of part 1, I was going to do just one post but there were so many pictures, you would be scrolling all day! 
I hope you enjoyed this part and hope you come back to see what comes next :)

Have you been to the tour or going soon? Let me know what you thought/what you are looking forward to.
