Harry Potter Studio Tour

So, last week or so (the 15th) I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour. It deserves  a 1000 star rating, it was AMAZING!

Me, some family and my friend Beth (introducingbeth.blogspot.co.uk) went there for my birthday and I loved it! 

Whilst I was there I saw so many great things including:

Dobby, (eek!:D) 

Buckbeak,

Gryffindor Common Room and Boys Dormitory, 

The Great Hall, (omg it was wonderful!!!)

The Fat Lady,

Mirror of Erised, 

Dumbledores Office and some of his outfits and so much more!

If you are a Harry Potter fan (or even just like it a bit) I highly recommend you go there if you have the chance!

In the Gift Shop I got a few things, here's a picture if what I purchased:

1. Butterbeer Tankard.

This was originally filled with the mouth wateringly delicious Butterbeer! 

2. Luna Lovegoods Wand

It is very pretty, wooden and swishy! It sort of looks like a broomstick when it's on it's side! Luna is my favourite character so that's why I chose her wand.

3. The item with Dobby on the front is my ticket ^.^

4. The little blue book on the left is my Harry Potter Passport which you can get free. It's it lots of little things to do in it!

5. Next to this is a little Hufflepuff pin which has the Quidditch Banner and 2 broomsticks. I'm a Hufflepuff so that's why I chose this.

6. The black book in the middle has the Hogwarts emblem on it and yellow blank pages inside. I'm going to use it as a sort if diary.

7. Under everything is the Harry Potter Studio Tour Guide Book with loads of cool things in it! Inside is things like the fold out pages which talks about all the props! Did you know over 3,000 wands were used for the Films?!

8. On the right of the little black book is Bertie Botts Every Flavoured Beans. I'm a bit nervous to try them!!

9. Below this is an iron on Hufflepuff badge.

As you can tell I really enjoyed going here and hope I can go again sometime! It's truly magical.

Oh, and I couldn't forget Hogwarts!

St. Patricks Day & Harry Potter

Dia duit gach duine!
(that means 'Hello everyone!' in Irish!)


I thought I'd put todays hello in Irish since it's St. Patricks Day! Do you celebrate it? I'm a quarter Irish so we sort of do.


Firstly, sorry I haven't posted in a week! So, to make up for it, today I will give you 2 posts!

BOOK REVEIW...

Recently I finished the Harry Potter series and I cannot believe how amazing it was! I know people don't always think it will be their cup of tea, however, I didn't either but trust me it is truly amazing!
The series by J.K Rowling is really well thought out. There is a lot of times when you just brush over things and then later realise why that was put there and there is a massive light bulb moment.
Also, the books don't fit into just one genre- they have so much going on that it's not just fantasy. The series is a great read for children and adults alike.
When I finished reading the Deathly Hallows, I couldn't believe it. I felt like I just didn't know what to do with myself - as you can see it had a massive impact on me!
It's amazing how someone could have though up such an amazing thing. It's like she created a world inside our own world, if you know what I mean!
Another great thing about the books is the wonderful detail! Like the Butterbeer, chocolate frogs, talking paintings and more! It's a world anyone can escape to by words. I wish I really could go to Hogwarts - wow that would be amazing!
I highly recommend  for you to read the series! It is very well worth it! I really want to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - it looks amazing!
If you haven't read them yet I really hope you do - it's really worth it.

Slán go fóill!
(Bye for now!)
