Harry Potter Studio Tour

So I may have just had the best experience of my life here. I went to see the Harry Potter Studio Tour and oh my God, it was A-mazing. I went by myself because at first there were no tickets available until after I'm scheduled to leave, but I managed to snag one for today. Anyway, I'm not to bent up about it, because I got to explore and marvel at things alone, and that helped make the experience even better. Here are some of the pictures:

It's going to sound very cliched, but there was something so magical about this whole day. To be honest, when I saw the big model of Hogwarts (last picture), I cried. I walked into the room, saw the castle, and was swept away by emotion. I think it's because Harry Potter has been a part of my life for so long that it's sad to think it's over. The conclusion of the HP series means the end of an era and the end of my childhood. Seeing the castle was like seeing a long-lost friend, someone you love and will miss dearly. And, too, I think every HP fan wishes Hogwarts and magic was real, and this got me a little closer to that dream. I know it sounds stupid and dorky, but it really was a moving experience.

Obviously there are a ton of additional pictures on Facebook. To anyone considering travelling to England in the near future, I would definitely suggest this tour.
