Harry Potter Studio Tour

We booked to go on the Harry Potter tour quite far in advance and our tour wasn't until later in the day. So we decided to go on a tiki tour before we headed out to the venue. We came across Alexandra Palace that is located on a hill and provides fantastic views of London.

After having a nosey around the palace, we headed out to see the Harry Potter studios. I must admit I was pretty excited to see the sets and props as the films are so detailed and wanted to see how everything was put together. And I have to say I wasn't let down. The amount of detail, time and money that went into the Harry Potter films is incredible! We saw a number of sets from Harry's home, Dumbledore's office, the Great Hall and many more. We saw all the wands that the made, the clothes that were worn by the characters, the broomsticks everything, it was just awesome.
