Hogwarts Always Welcomes Us Home
Warner Bros. Five Times Over 🌟This is my fifth visit to the London Harry Potter studio tour, experiencing all four seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. This time, it was a brand new theme - the Return to Azkaban Edition!! 🌟The set was decorated to match /The Prisoner of Azkaban/ 📽️ Many scenes from the third movie were replicated; I absolutely love the third one 😭 🌟I’ve been to Hogwarts in the Snow (Christmas theme) twice before, once for Magical Mischief (Weasley twins’ pranks theme), and once for Dark Arts (Halloween theme). My favorite is still the Christmas theme! Hogwarts in the snow is just magical! The interactivity might not be as strong as other themes, but it’s beautiful. 🌟Speaking of set design, my favorite is a scene from the first movie, “The Sorcerer’s Stone,” where the Dursley’s living room is filled with letters from Hogwarts. It’s where the dream begins. 🌟The first time I went, I wanted a paper ticket as a souvenir, but there were only e-tickets. I mustered the courage to ask the staff at the ticket office if I could have a paper ticket, and the staff generously gave me a whole strip of tickets. I was moved to tears. 🌟The gift shop is great to browse; I usually spend at least one or two hours in there. I love the shopping bag from The Daily Prophet!! But every time I head back to the city and transfer to the subway, the huge bag might as well announce to everyone that I’ve just come from the studio tour. #Awkwardturtle (scratching head) 🌟When arriving at Watford Junction, seeing the HP wayfinding design and the super eye-catching Warner shuttle bus feels like entering a huge HP city. Although it was already at the level of a HP nation. Over the years in the UK, I’ve been collecting HP traces, especially when traveling to different cities and seeing some of the inspirations that J.K. Rowling used to conceive the HP world. It’s touching to realize that the magical world is indeed all around us. 🌟Forever in love with Harry Potter, even more so as an adult ◞♥︎ #HarryPotter #HarryPotterLondonStudioTour #HarryPotter #HogwartsAlwaysWelcomesChildrenWhoBelieveInMagic
