Harry Potter Part 3

Last installment of the Harry Potter Studio pictures!   The lighting wasn't the best for taking pictures in the next part so there is a lot of purple and dark colors but enjoy anyway!

Hagrid's Motorcycle

Tom Riddle's Father's Grave



Number 4 Privet Drive!



Godric's Hollow - The Potter's house

The Knight Bus





Hogwart's Bridge wasn't actually in any of the books but made its first appearance in the Prisoner of Azkaban.




Me with a shot of the baby belly-
I hope he will be a Harry Potter fan also!


The Flying Ford Angila.
I had to make this picture extra large size because it is one of my favorites, just look at that face!

I had to kick a 7 year old kid out of the car to get my picture, he was playing around in there forever!

Yum, butterbeer
Which tastes just like cream soda!



There was a whole section of masks and wax mannequins of different characters from the book, I left out most of those pictures because they were a bit creepy, but I couldn't leave out Dobby 


Creatures from Harry Potter 
A Thestral

Buckbeak

Aragog with a Dementor and The Basilisk

After visiting all the creatures of Harry Potter we turned the corner into Diagon Alley!
it was so amazing to actually walk down the street and look into the shop windows.




Ollivander's wand shop


The Apothercary



Gringotts Wizard Bank

Flourish and Blotts for all of your book needs



A Nimbus 2000 in the window

The Weasley's Wizard Wheezes Shop



The next room we went into had a model of the castle. This model is completely accurate to the books and the movies.  It was actually used for some of the movies when they showed the whole castle or parts of the castle from above.  





Picking out our  wands


The last place we went before leaving the studio into the gift shop was a wand shop where each wand box had a name of every person who worked on the Harry Potter movies


In the gift shop playing around with the wands that you could buy. You could buy anyone's wand from the movie- Harry's, Hermoines, Dumbledore etc. They all looked different and had different weights to them just like in the books.



The gift shop, as usual, was very over priced but we bought a nice Hogwarts cup and a magnet. We had an amazing time at the studio tour and recommend it to anyone who is a Harry Potter fan! I would go back in a heartbeat just to experience it all over again! What a magical day!
