Exit Via The Gift Shop

Today I paid a visit here with a close friend (and fellow Harry Potter fan)...



Inside sound stages J and K is an Aladdin's cave of sets and props from all 8 films.











Many hours later and with over 200 pictures taken we exited this fab attraction feeling a mixture of exhaustion and elation. We could have stayed far longer; we didn't feel under any pressure to hurry and there were so many film props and videos to view and information to soak in, it is easy to understand how some people might have managed say 6 hours at this attraction.

I was really surprised by the level of detail that had gone into all the pieces, despite the crafts men and women knowing it was unlikely to be seen in the finished films. Incredible dedication to their craft.




Oh and while on the subject of the truly magical, today Kate Bush announced her first tour in 35 years. Wow.
