In life I have done some pretty cool things but the Harry Potter tour is one that stands out. I've been a fan of the HP series for many years, loving both the books and movies. When I found out that there was a Harry Potter studio tour I knew it was something I had to do. When I went to London in 2016 it was a no brainer to do the tour. It was 37 pounds/$60 AUD which I think is pretty reasonable and easy to justify if you're a big fan.

The Studio Tour features many props, costumes, and sets which come straight out of the movies. It's like a dreamland. I was lucky and went in winter so it was set all Christmas themed. It is quite the busy place as you go in with a big group, but my tip is to abandon the group early and take it slow - do things at a good pace. I didn't want to rush it and miss out on anything. Another tip I will give is to try and get your hands on a childrens activity passbook. I mean...yes...they are supposed to be for children...but it's a cute little book where you get to go around stamping it. They're free too. So maybe when you grab one claim you're getting it for your child/little brother ;)

I also really, really recommend buying a photo of yourself on a broomstick. Yes, there is a massive line for it but it's totally worth it. You may need to elbow a kid or two along the way (just kidding ,kinda). It's one of my favourite things to look back on - I mean i'm in a fricken cape and on a broomstick. Like how cool is that?! Very cool in my opinion.

I could ramble on about how great it is but basically: if you're a fan and you happen to be in London then make the trip because you won't regret it.

Potions! Kind of wanted to sneak under the barrier and start making potions myself. As security drag me away I would say "what the heck do you think you're doing?! Snape is expecting me in that class!!"

 I didn't really knock on it...but if I did...I would slap Dudley for being mean to Harry.
