Warner Brothers Studio Tour London
I had heard all the great reviews about this tour so we booked our tickets in advanced and if you looking at going I highly suggest you book your tickets weeks in advance because tickets run out extremely fast and you can't buy them at the attraction. So when you arrive you get allocated through the car park to you allocated parking space which means no trying to find a space in a packed car park.
(I do not own any wrights for the picture above)
Then when you first enter the building you are in the lobby and to your left is the studio café and to your right is the gift shop. So then you can start queuing for the tour while queuing for the tour on the left their is the set of Harrys bedroom at private drive.
When they open the tour you are first guided in to a room were one of the very enthusiastic tour guides tells you some facts about the harry potter franchise and Then you are led in to cinema room were you watch a short clip which lasts about 5 minutes of Daniel Radcliff (harry potter) Emma Watson (Hermonie granger) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasly)introducing the tour.
Then after that you get welcomed in to the great hall which is were another tour guide speaks about some of the main characters after that no more of the tour is guided you are left alone to wonder round at your own pace and with every child ticket you get a harry potter passport which has a space for 6 stamps which you collect as you go round and a golden snitch hunt.
Then you go in to the main room were you will find things like Dumbledore's office, The door to the chamber of secrets, Potion classroom, The transporting fire places at the ministry of magic and much more.
Then the green screen room were your get the chance to fly the sky's of London on a broom stick (my favourite part)and then you can buy the photos for £12 each £16 for two or £21 for 3 and you can also buy videos.
After that you can go and explore more of the main room or you can go outside to the backlot were their are plenty of exterior set such as the knight bus, Hogwarts bridge and private drive.
And you also have the chance to try butter beer at £7 for a souvenir tankard (pictured above) £5 for souvenir cup and £3 for a throw away cup the butterbeer has no alcohol in it so safe for the children. It is very sweet and they top if of with vanilla flavoured froth/cream and this is one of the only 2 places in the world were you can buy this the other on I is the world of harry potter in Florida.
Then when you go back inside you go in to a small section of creature affects were their is lots of head of all the goblins.
After that you go in to the famous diagon alley which is located behind the leaky caldron in diagon alley their are many shops including olivianders which is were harry bought his first wand and gringotts bank.
After diagon alley their is the art department which is filled with sketches of all the building, costumes etc that were used in the 8 films.
After that is the model of the Hogwarts castle which is built at a scale of 1:24 is beautifully breath-taking and hand crafted with so much detail the picture really doesn't do it justice.
After that their Is a room filled with wand boxes covering every wall and then you exit into the gift shop were you can pick up lots of goodie to remember you trip by because I went in the summer holiday we got given a free badge for the summer spells addition and their is the passport I mentioned earlier I also bought a gold time turner keyring and the souvenir guide and bertie bots every flavour jelly beans and the black tickets each ticket will have a different character on it.
Over all this tour is so worth the money I would recommend any one to go even if you not a harry potter fan after the price of the family ticket at £85 then another £100 in the gift shop and of photo graphs and butter beer also we have a 4 hour journey their and back £5o for fuel it bring the whole day to approximately £250 which is high but every one on our family member as satisfied at the end of the day
