Harry Potter Studios

As a Potterhead visiting Harry Potter Studios was on my bucket list. It was maybe the most fun ever and everything I wanted it to be!

I took another organized tour with International Friends to get to Warner Bros. Studios, from London. It's 20 miles away. I opted for the small group tour, which is more expensive, but worth every penny. I doubt there were even a dozen people on the full sized coach.

We were one of the first buses to arrive at the studio and watched coach after coach pull up fully loaded with people. Being one of the first ones inside, I was able to whip around the place fairly easily. There was no line to get your Harry Potter video made either. I read reviews where people wait in line for hours to do this. It wasn't something I had planned to do but since there was no one there, I went for it.

I am fascinated with the movie making process and it was especially awesome to see actual sets from the films along with original costumes and props. It was like walking into the film. A very cool experience.

It was so exciting to see number 4 Privet Drive and the cupboard under the stairs!
