Day 39: HARRY POTTER

Warning: this post will be full of nerdy Harry Potter things and approximately 100 million photographs. Viewer discretion is advised. Content may not be appropriate for those who dislike Harry Potter. 

Hello friends! 

Today was literally one of the greatest days spent here!

We started this morning with a run. We then went to the Tate Modern and Tate Britainn, two modern art galleries where we saw some artwork for our classes.

Afterwards, we headed about 20 miles outside of London to the Warner Brothers Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter. Get this--it was a tour of the real life set where they filmed all the Harry Potter movies. It was literally the most amazing experience. It had all the original sets that were filmed at that location as well as hundreds of the props that were used, costumes and wigs worn, and so much more. If you ever get the opportunity to do this tour, it was totally worth the money and time. I absolutely recommend it. It is a must-see!
