It was a bit of a wild ride getting to the studio complete with getting on the wrong time, missing our time spot by almost an hour, and realizing we had bought tickets for the next day. Yeah, ask if we were going to be in London the next day. Yeah, that would be a NO! However, due to a lot of positive thinking, fingers crossed, and praying on my part, we were lucky enough to get permission to go ahead and attend the FULL tour happening that day. It may or may not have had something to do with the fact that my friend almost started crying. I guess we will never know for sure. All that mattered was we were in!
I don't know if I have ever felt like I did walking through that studio. I seriously felt like a child. An excited five year old who has just gone to Disneyland for the first time. Please say you know that feeling? Or just going to Disneyland in general. I still have the same reaction. The one were you just want to skip around everywhere, can't keep a ridiculous grin off your face, and for some reason you feel like singing. Yeah... that was me. No big deal or anything.
Well I guess now is where I show you some of the pictures I took while exploring through the world of Harry Potter. These might be the most touristy picture I have EVER taken in my life, so I apologize in advance.
Oh Godric's Hollow brought a tear to my eye. I can't with these pictures. So gorgeous. Man, it's about time I reread these books!

Tightrope to the Sun
for real!
DeleteOh. I am so jealous, Shelby!!!!!!! Harry Potter is (obviously) one of my favorite things in the world!!!!! I've seen videos of this place, but to actually GO HERE. Oh my gosh! It looks purely...well, magical!!!!! I know I NEED to go here one day! Oh it's beautiful. And those last photos of hogwarts...
ReplyDeletethere really is no other way to describe it except for magical. and hogwarts.. like i literally almost died!
DeleteAhh that is SO rad! I so do not judge you for tearing up, because this is just too plain awesome.
ReplyDeletehaha! luckily my friend had the same reaction, so i wasn't completely alone.
Deletei can't even handle this post, i need to go. NEED. butterflies, i have butterflies looking at these pictures! HP4LIFE! i love that it's self-guided, it sort of allows you to reflect on something so amazing. i feel like i'm turning this into some sort of spiritual experience, but i feel like it sort of is. hp is so much more than a book or a movie, it's an actual part of my life! guarantee i would have cried. i'm not even kidding you, i started crying while watching the second movie yesterday - maybe i was just tired, but tears were forming. OHMYGOSH! that b&w picture of the castle + bridge... I AM DYYYYIIIINGG!
ReplyDeletei am soooo glad it was self-guided. and for that exact reason. you were able to just sit and take every little piece of it in on your own time! i definitely spent the most time looking at hogwarts... it was so surreal. oh, and the wardrobe!!
DeleteOH MY AMAZE. I would've passed out. I would've cried. I would've been squealing and running around. These pictures make me want to camp out in my basement and have a HP marathon while reading the books. I think I need to definitely go there now. London is such a dream. I have to go there for so many reasons, the set of HP definitely being in the top 3 of those reasons!!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, i want to have an HP marathon so unbelievably bad! and GO TO LONDON! it is beyond a dream.
DeleteCan't EVEN believe this! Incredible!
ReplyDeleteright!? like, can't even believe it happened
Deleteoh.my.gosh. i'm hyperventilating over here.
ReplyDeleteoh lady, there was much of that!
DeleteWow, this must have been an amazing experience. I wish I could do the tour one day...

Deleteit was all insanely interesting, and crazy amazing! there was just so much to take in. it was like little freak out moments around every corner when you spotted something familiar.
