Harry Potter STUDIOS!!! Is it worth it? How to get there and how much is it - Luca

Hey guys! 
I'm really happy today!
I went to the Harry Potter Studios!!!!!!
Ok, I don't know if you're an Harry Potter Fan but this is briefly what we did all day!

If you are wondering if it's worth going to the Harry Potter Studios in London.. Well, it is!

These weeks where the last weeks of school so we had the chance to go somewhere further than usual. We payed 65 pounds to go to London and come back in a day! I honestly think that it's not too expensive taking in consideration that just to enter the studios it was 35 pounds!

We left at 6:15 am with 5 hours of bus ahead of us! But once we got there, oh man, it was AWESOME!

The main entrance was something huge, and it was there that I started feeling like a proper Harry Potter fan! All those canvas on the walls and that huge Christmas three!

I genuinely think that whether you like Harry or not, you must go there once in a lifetime!

Honestly to me, big fan since I was 7 years old, I enjoyed seing how (even stupid things) were made. Such as the footprints when Harry had the invisible cloth! 
I saw the cupboard under the stairs! Where Harry lived a long time! Such a small place by the way, in the film seems bigger!

We then walked into the great Hall!! I'm not sure it was the same as the film, the real one might have been in the castle, but it surely seemed real! With all the characters standing at the bottom, with the original clothes!

There were lots of other things they used, such dresses, places, stairs... Paintings... EVERYTHING!
I'll put the link for all the photos at the end. The dormitory was exactly the same as in the film and all the luggages, the car, the Night Bus (the one that stretches and you can sleep on), the private drive house, the house of the parents and EVERYTHING! 

Obviously don't think that what you see on the screen it's real, half the things are just made with the computer... for example, quidditch is nothing else than a broomstick, and loooots of green screens.

It was incredible how they manage to do all the stuff about magic animals such as Buckbeak or Dobby, or Hagrid! All the technology that there is behind it! 
Now I gotta go, there is nothing else to say, except "hope you like the pictures!".
It has been an awesome experience to be there and I'd do it again a thousand times!!

Now it's Christmas time, homesick is stronger than ever but I'm stronger! I wish good Christmas to everybody I know and mostly to you, reader! I wish good luck to the new generation of students, I wish good luck to my self and all the old generation to end this year in peace and with lot of happiness!!

Bye for now,
LUCA :D
