Harry Potter studios

We had a trip that was extremely exciting to the Harry Potter studios.  When we arrived at the studios we were grouped and we went inside the building. The tour started out with a walk through showing the production of the films then one of the people that worked there showed a short clip of a documentary. We then went to a huge cinema like room that played Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint on the screen and talked about their experiences on set. Suddenly the screen went up and we entered the Great Hall and saw the different house robes and we explored the next area that was the sets. There was a green screen broom experience and then we entered the Forbidden forest. In there were big spiders on the roof and they moved up and down then the next part was the Hogwarts express.  It just the seats were Ron, Hermione and Harry sat and what was there for each film.  After lunch we explored the Dursley’s house and then we went to the props/make up / effects department.  They had masks and props.  Next we moved into the set of the Gringotts bank. We saw a dragon brake it and blow fire at us and then we went to Diagon alley.  We saw the shops and then we saw a small replica of Hogwarts. It was big, but not the same size as Hogwarts. The day was amazing, including the gift shop!
