More great Harry Potter studio tour info

There was lots of other cool stuff we saw on the tour. I just skipped to the end because it was my favorite part. Now we'll go back.
In the big room with all the indoor sets they had Gryffindor Common Room, Harry's dorm room and Harry's cupboard under the stairs. We also got to see Dumbledore's Office, the potions room and The Burrow kitchen. There was also the Ministry of Magic including the fountain of wizards on top of muggles ("Magic is Might"). The had Umbridge's disgusting pink office. There was also a section on Special Effects.






The section with Special effects was really, really cool. You got to go on a broom in front of a green screen. It was really bouncy and they played scenes of places from the movie so it seemed like you were really flying. I got a picture of myself flying over Hogwarts.
Next we went outside and got butterbeer. It tasted like vanilla whip cream on top of cream soda. I liked it a lot.

 Outside there was also the Knight Bus, the Weasley's flying car, Sirius' motorcycle and some buildings.

I got my picture in front of Number 4 Privet Drive and the Potter's cottage in Godric's Hollow.

Then we went back inside and saw the creature shop. In the creature shop, the first thing you see is about 20 creature heads-house elves, goblins, merpeople, etc.

Then you go into a room with Buckbeat, Aragog, the basilisk and a miniature horntail dragon.

Then we arrived at Diagon Alley. the first thing I saw there was a store for cauldrons. the second thing I saw was Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. the hat lifted off the statue of one of the twin's head, but no rabbit. We asked about this and were told that the rabbit was digitally added later.

All and all I thought it was the coolest thing I ever did. I bought a Gryffindor t-shirt, The Monster Book Of Monsters and a Chocolate Frog. Then we went back outside and left Warner Brothers Studio.

The End
