WEDNESDAY (On this section photos are liked to videos)
Wednesday was a magical day; we visited Harry Potter studios!!!! I was so excited to be there as the films have always been a huge part of my childhood. There was so many props that I could recognise and gave me memories of the spellbinding saga. We also got the privilege to attend to an exclusive costume workshop where we got to see THE REAL COSTUMES from different characters like Lord Voldemort, Luna Lovegood's silver tree dress and Hagrid's 'best' suit.We did an exclusive workshop that consisted on a small insight of the Harry Potter saga and how they came up with some of the costumes as well as a vast amount and knowledge that I will keep forever. We also got our skills tested by from a bag filled with lots of different fabrics, we had to guess without looking and from a list what character was. We got chiffon fabrics, and very soft and light so we assumed it was a young female and we instantly thought of Luna Lovegood which we were right!! It was an amazing workshop and they showed us a lot of tricks and tips on how to work on the industry. We spend the whole day doing photos and I got to try Butterbeer ice cream.

This moment was truly special as Ron and Harry's costumes are placed in front of the costumes of the last scene in Deathly Hallows Part 2 which made me realise the past of the years as well as how the actors have been growing with their characters.

In the last part of the tour, we saw Hogwarts castle maquette. It was amazingly made and HUGE!
Later on the day, I went to see The Woman in Black. It was a low budget production at the Fortune Theatre but I think that was the cherry on top and created an even more spooky ambience.
Soon Part 3 :)
