WB Harry Potter Studios Museum

Friday we went to the Warner Brothers studios Harry Potter museum.  They have the sets, costumes, renderings, models, and all other sorts of treasures used in the making of the Harry Potter films.  

 He's so photogenic, I think DJ should be the face of all our travels.  Look how excited he is!  We're going to see Harry Potter!!! :)

 And here we are...

 Halloween feast at the Hogwarts dining hall

 The professors all stand at the front of the dining hall to greet the students 

 Griffindor common room 

 Dumbledor's office

Potion's Class

 

 This is what the actors would have really been riding during a flying broomstick scene.  The screens behind describe the special effects used to make it look as though they really are racing through the air

 The ministry of magic

 Grave of Tom Riddle's father

  

Diagon Alley

Inside Olivander's 

Hagrid's head - this was used for the long shots where they needed to show the size difference between Hagrid and the other actors.  This head is remote control - pretty cool

Goblin masks

Renderings and models

  Tabletop model of Hogwarts

Room size model of Hogwarts

  Butterbeer - yummy!  Kind of like cream soda with a frothy, creamy foam.  We're a fan!  

 Remote control animatronics - Voldemort and and enchanted herbology plant.
