Late on Wednesday afternoon, I finally managed to hop the Hogwarts Express (well, in some semblance), onto a poor man's Knight Bus that played a plethora of Harry Potter soundtrack favourites, and went on the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Leavesden. I'm sure I'm not the only one who delights in throwing in the odd HP anecdote, quote and reference into several conversations a day, and who has followed the entire journey since way back when. Having read every book, sobbing my eyes out periodically through the final installment, and watched every film, the Harry Potter 'phenomena' holds a special place in my heart.
I'm not going to ruin the tour for anyone who hasn't been yet, so these photos are just a teeny tiny portion of the ones I snapped away at! Of course I was that gal who took close-ups by Ron Weasley's bed, snapped outfit photos on the (real) Knight Bus and at the Ministry of Magic, and who even took a mirror photo with Tasha, MySpace style, in the Mirror of Erised. Honestly guys and dolls, the tour was much, much more than even I expected, and I can't wait to be going again next week with my HP-illiterate Mama!
Ooh, and before I Disapparate, onto what I wore on a swelteringly warm day in London. I opted for my favourite Ever Ours dress, which features the softest ballet pink pleating, with an old Minnie Mouse sleevesless top over the top to downplay the lacy girliness. Thrown in the mix were my Urban Outfitters mint green peeptoe wedges and Luella leather tote, both of which are now discontinued. Finally, a very Harry day just wouldn't be complete without my Golden Snitch necklace that Gem and I went a little obsessive over a few Christmases ago! ♥

Oh my Lord, I'm so desperate to go there! :-(
ReplyDeleteIt is such an amazing place. I actually took about 1000 photos (but I did have the multi-shot setting on!). Looks like you had a great time - cute outfit :) x
ReplyDeleteThat's so fun you got to go on the studio tour - a few girls from my work have been too and also thought it was amazing. Will just need to save my pennies for a wee trip down to London. Looks amazing- I love arry Potter, definitely has a special place in my heart! Love your golden snitch necklace!

Ohhh my goodness! It's so so amazing, isn't it. Hahah, I did exactly the same as you (close ups of beds/mirror of erised picture etc) - no shame! So jealous you're going again, enjoy! xx
ReplyDeleteOh love this! I wanna go, I wanna go! :)
ReplyDeleteOmg, I seriously can't wait to go see this. I have been dreaming about it, it's got that bad. My sisters are annoyingly keeping rather cool about it but I am just soooooo excited! I can't wait. Plus, I love the fact that most people who have been have only put a few photos on their blog, to save the best bits for people to find out themselves. I'm already jealous that you're going again...I'm taking my dad and my sisters!
