A Day Filled With Magic!
Hello again, it’s me
Kendra! Today was by far my favorite day yet. After having a free morning, we
made our way to The Making of Harry Potter at Warner Brothers Studios. From the
first time I picked up Sorcerer’s Stone in fifth grade I was obsessed. I took
the house quiz numerous times always wanting Gryffindor. I finally made an
account on Pottermore; the only site that will accurately place you in a house,
I was placed in Hufflepuff. I was very ecstatic, it was the house I related to
the most I realized, as I got older. Anyways, back to the tour! It was absolutely
incredible. They had the real sets, costumes, props, animatronic animals, and
so much more. We first entered through the Great Hall. There were costumes of
Hogwarts professors, plates and goblets, as well as the house point counter in
the corner by the professors table. There were several interactive things we
could do as well. I was able to lift a broomstick in the air by saying “up”. I looked
as tall as Hagrid with special effects. What took my breath away the most was seeing
Gringotts. Which happens to be a recent addition to the tour. The chandeliers were
magnificent, and the marble pillars were amazing. Marissa knocked on one and
discovered it was hollow though. I can’t even begin to describe the emotions I felt.
It was incredible to be immersed in a world that I could only dream about. Knowing
now how they built everything as well as the time and talent that went into all
eight movies leaves me amazed. As well as thankful because without everyone behind
the scenes it would not have become what it is today. It was an absolute dream being able to go to
the Warner Brothers Studios today. I have way too many pictures to sort through
now, but they will be a great way for me to remember this amazing day!

Hello Kendra!
ReplyDeleteJust based off of your post, I can tell that you’re really passionate about Harry Potter (I enjoyed the personal anecdotes) and that makes me so happy that you got to see the studios where it was filmed at. I definitely agree with your statement about Gringot’s; that might have been my favorite part of the whole tour. Well, it might be a tie between that, Diagon Alley, and the final Harry Potter castle. I loved them because they felt so immersive, like you were a part of it. It was a truly magical feeling!
Was there anything that really surprised you to learn?
Stay magical!
Hi Kendra!
ReplyDeleteI had a great time touring The Warners Brothers Studio. I remember you clinging to me for your life in The Forbidden Forest because of those furry little (huge) spiders! I'm so glad we got to experience this but I don't think i was as prepared to have tons of things ruined for me. The castle isn't even life size.... no hogwarts for me... sadly.
