The Making of Harry Potter

Tuesday, April 22

The studios where the Harry Potter movies were filmed is right on the outskirts of London. And since all the movies have been made and they needed a reason to make even more money, they opened the studios so people could come and tour them. I must say, I was over the moon excited to see it all. It was such an AMAZING experience. Harry Potter has been such a huge part of my life and being able to see all the behind the scenes information was so interesting. We got to walk on sets, see the actual costumes and learn about how they did some of the special effects. So much thought and detail went into the making of the movies. The amount of people working behind the scenes was unreal. Going to the studios certainly is one of my highlights of Europe so far.

After the tour we went back into London and went to London Bridge and Tower Bridge to take pictures and find somewhere to eat. We ended up eating at a Japanese place called Wagamama before heading back to the hostel to pack up and get some rest before we started our journey to Venice.
