Today we went to the Warner Brother's Harry Potter Studio where they shot all the movies. It was really cool to see about ten of the sets that they used to make the real movies, such as Dumbeldore's office, the great hall, and the Grifindor common room. I saw so much and learned a ton about film making.

Something I really liked was the animatronics (robots), masks, hair, costumes, sets and props used in the Harry Potter movies. We saw the Night Bus, the Hogwarts Express, Harry Potter's real wand and all the other real wands used in all 8 movies. There were also the brooms, books, newspapers, letters, rugs couches, chairs, blankets, pillows, tables, and hundreds of other props. 
I got to see the white cards which are 1:16 scale models of the real sets. These are used to help prepare the camera angles for lighting. We also saw blue prints for buildings and drawings for the animatronics. 


I had a glass of butter beer with my lunch. It tasted like carbonated, caramel flavoured water with caramel flavoured whipped cream on top. It was very good. 


Thank you Nanny and Poppa (grandma and grandpa) for buying us the tickets to go to this amazing place. 


P.S. This would have never have fit in our budget. Thanks for the awesome early birthday present.

that day trip sounded very cool. I have read all the books and seen the movies, so visiting the sets would be on my to do list as well.
