The Making of Harry Potter

Ok, I'll admit I may have allowed myself a few fangirl moments when we visited the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in London where we walked through sets and props from all eight of the Harry Potter movies. It was breathtaking and awe-inspiring. The details and the manpower that allowed those films to be made at such a high level was amazing. I seriously want to go back and drool some more (and maybe even have another butterbeer!) Maybe next time we're in London, I can convince Jim to go back. Seeing these pictures makes me want to go back even more! I apologize for the volume of photos here. I just can't get over the fact that all of these things were manufactured by someone for these movies. I am a muggle, but a HP fangirl forever!
