You're a Wizard Harry...

So much to do and so little time to blog! It has been a few days since my last post and what a few days it has been!! Yesterday we took a trip to the Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studio Tour! It was AMAZING to say the least, let's just say that I believe in magic.  The first thing you get to see is the great hall! You walk in through huge golden doors into this magnificent stone room.  It seems a little smaller than in the movie, but hey that's movie magic right?! The next room was even larger, it had Dumbledore's office, Professor Umbridge's office, Hagrid's Hut, the kitchen of the Burrow, The Gryffindor common room and bed room, and I could go on and on! It was amazing to see all this stuff up close and personal! After that you go outside to a small courtyard which contains the knight bus, Hagrids motorcycle, 4 Privet Drive, and the Potter House.  All of these were replica's because you could climb into them, go around them, and touch them.  The second lot had all the sketches, models, and dummy's used for the movies.  When I saw all the models, I though of my dad and how much he would have loved them!!! If only his students could create such wonderful pieces of architecture (not saying that his students are bad, they're just inexperienced!).  Also my two of my favorite parts of the tour were in this area, A complete replica of Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.  The replica was simply amazing.  The lights would change from daytime to nighttime in the room so you could see little lights twinkling out of the windows.  And what can I say about Diagon Alley... I mean come on, it's DIAGON ALLEY! It was awesome.  When I left I was a little sad to face the reality that Harry Potter and his world doesn't really exist, but that didn't stop any of us from watching the movies as soon as we got back!!
