This is our last day in London! We had a 12:00pm reservation at the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, so we boarded a train, a subway, another train, and a bus to make it to Watford Junction. All of us were seasoned adventurers of the amazing Harry Potter ride and experience at Universal Studios, so we had fairly low expectations for the studio tour. Our expectations were blown away from the moment we stepped into THE GREAT HALL AT HOGWARTS. The whole tour (we spent 3.5 hours there) was absolutely amazing, and filled with incredible props from the movies. We take for granted that a lot of what goes into films these days is CGI, but the Harry Potter movies used a ton of handmade items, including books, puppets, huge sets, and amazing models and costumes.
We took so many pictures that our cameras ran out of batteries and we had to switch to our cell phones. All in all, it was an amazing experience, and aside from Clue Quest, which we did on Day 1, it was easily the highlight of our trip. We took the 90 minute transit route back into the city, and Laura and Sam split off to visit a bookshop and restaurant in Hampstead while Mom and I headed back to the house to play boardgames and eat a light supper at home.
All in all, a fabulous trip. There is so much that we did not get to do, that we will definitely need to come again. (hint hint.)
