Woodbury Island Adventures: Warner Bros

Last Thursday the kids had off for conferences so I took them to Warner Bros. Studio and did the Harry Potter experience with them. The deal with Harry Potter in our family is when you read the first book then you get to watch the first movie. The boys read the first book when we came to London and then recently watched the first movie. While doing the experience it was so neat to walk through the Great Hall where they filmed many scenes, go on the Hogwarts Express, see the costumes and props that they used, see how they made different characters and walk down Digon Alley. It was so neat to see how things all came together and how they made the movie. We had great conversations on how books are so different from movies too. I can't even explain the experience. We spent 5 hours there if that says anything! The kids did the broom stick experience in a simulator and we even got to try butter beer (a nonalcoholic beverage reminiscent of shortbread and butterscotch), yummy! Of course then we tried the butter bear ice cream. :) Below are just a few pictures we took, can't ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen it.
