A week ago, on Thursday 10th October, the London Trip went to the Warner Bros. Harry Potter studio tour.
To start with we did a workshop about being in the film industry, which was extremely interesting. We learned about what people do who work in the film industry and we saw a few props from the actual sets. After the workshop, we began our tour.
The start of the tour we were all put into a room where we saw a short clip of the Harry Potter takeover. We then entered the cinema room where we saw a recorded clip from Daniel, Emma and Rupert (Harry, Hermione and Ron) about the tour.
We then went into the Great Hall where we saw many actors costumes and some props from the films.
The next room consisted of many other props and sets such as The Chamber Of Secrets, Gryffindor boys dorm and Dumbledore’s office.
We then proceeded into the courtyard where we could buy Butterbeer. From there we went into the creature room where we saw creatures such as Buckbeak the Hippogriff and Aragog the Accromantula.
We then made our way to Diagon Alley where we saw shops such as Olivanders and Flourish and Blott’s . To continue from this we went into a room with paintings and cardboard models from the films.
From this we proceeded into a room with wand boxes, like the ones from Olivanders, glued into the wall, with the names of everybody who was involved in the process of making the Harry Potter films, including J. J. Rowling.
Lastly we went to the gift shopwhich had lots of things for sale including wands, t-shirts and mugs. We all came out of here with our pockets a little lighter.
