Harry Potter Travel Part Six

Leavesden Castle

In this last section from my Warner Bros. Studio Harry Potter tour I have included pictures of the finished castle, building plans for various structures, scale models, and concept art. I really enjoyed seeing how different artists interpreted the images from the books. And the castle: breathtaking. Seriously. Potter fan or not, this was quite the experience. Think gymnasium sized epic dollhouse. Except much cooler. Up next will be a few more Harry Potter posts in other locations before I move on to other bookish travels.

Harry Potter Travel Part Five

Leavesden Magical Creatures

One of my favorite parts of the Harry Potter books is the creation of wonderful magical creatures. On the Harry Potter Tour at Warner Bros. Studios, I got to see how these creatures were made for the movie interpretations of the books. I also included the dummy models of the actors in this section because they are pretty magical creatures too.
