So I'm pretty sure that you've just been waiting on the edge of your seat since last week to find out how everything went at the Harry Potter Studio. Like, it's all you've been thinking about, right? You don't have anything else to do. Lol! Well! The wait is over. I can finally tell you that going back was amazing!
One of the great things about going there is feeling like you don't have to hide your Harry Potter nerdiness. =) You can nerd out all you want! Inside the studio, everyone is a fan. A huge fan! (There are even adults in costumes.) So I can totally be all 'yeah this is from that scene in _________ where they did this and that, and oh, remember when ________ happened?'.......and I don't look like a total dork.
What was awesome was last time we went, my attention was 1/2 on Harry Potter stuff, and 1/2 on my kids. Even though the adults outnumbered the kids, I can't help but constantly watch them. The studio gets packed and kids can wander. And my kids are huge Harry Potter fans too so they were in awe of everything just as much as we were. So I was constantly making sure I knew where each of them were every.single.second. This means I missed some stuff. But! I got to see everything the 2nd time around. I didn't have to worry about my kids wandering off or getting lost. I could give the studio & all of it's fun stuff 100% of my attention. (Yay!)
But the fabulous part...the super super awesome part...was that because we went now (instead of the summer)...it was Hogwarts in the Snow (a.k.a. Christmas at Hogwarts). And! They'd added some new things on top of that! So some of the areas were totally new! (Double yay!)
So pictures? Yes? And I should go ahead and tell you that there are some that you've already seen. But! It's because I just learned how to do panoramic pictures on my phone so I couldn't resist it. And yeah, they look a little wonky in a few. (Like there's a blurry line in it or something.) I don't know if I was going too fast or too slow. (I'm still learning)

So there you have it! Our trip to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studios 2.0. And what's crazy is....I'd probably go back again. Lol But what I'm really waiting for is the Harry Potter stuff at Universal. (I know! I know! We lived there for how many years, and never saw it? I know!!)
Anywho! I'm off to have a productive Monday! Much love sweets!
