Today is Valentina's big day. She is a huge Harry Potter fan (me too) and so it was her special wish to visit the Warner Brother Studios here in London to see where the movies were filmed. We have booked a tour at 3:30 pm and therefore have the whole morning off. After the intense program of the last almost two weeks, not so bad.
However, my mother and Valentina still want to do something and so they take a walk through the neighboring forest.
Harry's room under the stairs.
The Gryffindor common room
Dumbledore's office
The potions classroom
17,000 oil paintings were created for Harry Potter.
The Weasley's kitchen in 'The Burrow'
Hagrid's hut
Dolores Umbridge's office
Ron and Harry's bedroom. The crochet blanket at the front is obviously Ron's.
The train station hall with the Hogwarts Express. You could even get on the train and see the compartments where they filmed.
Valentina wanted to ride right away!
Diagon Alley! A really great set. So many details in the individual shop windows! A must-see!
And finally, the huge Hogwarts model. It was filmed in front of a green screen to make it look like it's in the Highlands.
Oh look, we know this entrance! It's in Alnwick, the first castle we visited on our trip. Here it's a miniature version for aerial shots and we've already stood right by the wall on the right.
And what do I see? A stone circle almost exactly like in Outlander! I've never noticed it in Harry Potter, but this just completes the circle of this trip, which was so Outlander-heavy.
Finally, we have to drink a butterbeer. I can't really say that it tastes bad. It actually tastes like a liquid caramel candy with cream, but it's definitely too rich to finish!
