We
went
to
Warner
Bros
studio
tour
to
walk
again
in
the
footsteps
of
Harry
Potter.
Virginia's
sister
Vicky
was
over
from
New
Zealand
and
this
was
a
joint
family
outing.
I
made
a
fool
of
myself
going
through
security,
I
keep
having
to
remove
metallic
items
from
my
pockets!
The
entrance
had
changed,
you
have
a
long
walk
past
quotes
from
the
books
on
the
hoardings.
The
exhibits
you
walk
past
haven't
changed,
but
it
is
still
well
done
and
worth
one
visit
at
least.
Our
New
Zealand
visitors
enjoyed
it.
The
day
had
torrential
rain
-
we
had
a
nightmare
journey
home,
crawling
through
the
St
Albans
area
then
crawling
up
the
A1.

There
is
a
mecca
for
Harry
Potter
fans
at
Watford.
The
Warner
Bros
studio
tour
where
you
can
walk
in
the
footsteps
of
Harry
Potter,
see
the
scenes
from
the
movies,
see
how
the
movies
were
made,
and
taste
something
called
"butterbeer".
The
studios
are
well-laid
out
for
visitors,
well
organised,
plenty
of
free
car
parking,
cafes
and
rest
rooms,
and
of
course
a
large
shop
so
you
can
take
away
some
of
that
magic
back
home.
I'm
not
a
Harry
Potter
fan
but
I
still
got
something
out
of
visiting
these
studios.
Firstly
how
much
effort
goes
into
making
films
of
the
scale
of
the
Harry
Potter
films,
how
many
people
are
involved,
the
talents
required
to
create
the
visuals
and
the
sounds.
A
useful
counterpoint
to
the
instant
gratification
of
our
day,
where
everything
is
a
swipe
away,
where
everything
is
superficial
and
cheaply
obtained.
