Harry Potter Studio Tours (Amazing!)

This is a picture heavy post but before you look I think you should play this youtube video while looking, just for the atmosphere and 'the laughs'. I tried to put it on here but it wouldn't play. Anyway, on we go.

little creepy, right?

what's that I'm drinking? BUTTER BEER PEOPLE. BUTTER BEER. 

It was so so so amazing! My family is such a little collective of Harry Potter nerds. Except my brother who said my dad and I ruined it for him by being too into it (haha) but we think we drew him back in on the tour. 

I took so many photos, literally way into the three hundreds. You could just look at my camera and you wouldn't even need the tour. But you should go if you can! My camera died near the end though so I spent the remainder swapping between my mums camera and my dads phone, both of which were on their last legs battery wise. 

What amazed me was the level of detail that goes into everything. I mean there are thousands of things created that aren't focused on or sometimes even shown in the films. The graphics section was the bit that highlighted this most. They'd created all the leaflets, books, posters and letters (like the letter from Lily to Sirius). But there is detail everywhere, literally. It was outstanding and the people who created it all need masses of credit and hi-5's and hugs and everything.

Did you know: 

- There was only a team of 20 make up artists for the whole cast. 

- The glue used to stick the wigs on was so strong that if pulled while drying or when dried (can't remember) it could rip the scalp. They had to do something magic special or something to fix this problem. 

- Snapes costume is the only costume never to change. 

- Neville wore a fat suit in a few of the films - this is on the DVD extras, not the tour but still. (I heart Matthew Lewis and Rupert Grint/Tom Felton/Dan Radcliffe/Them All)

Have you been to the tour - what did you think? 

If you haven't, would you go or is it not really your thing?

Hope your all wonderful,
