Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studios

This morning we were up bright and early to make the journey to Warner Brother's Harry Potter Studios.  We left Notting Hill at 8:00 a.m.  We took the Underground to Euston Train Station.  We transferred to the Overground train to Watford Junction.  Along the way we got a nice view of Wimbley Stadium.  It is the largest soccer stadium in England and the second largest in Europe.  It can hold 90,000 people.  At Watford Junction we boarded a Studio Tour bus to the studios.  We arrived about 9:45 a.m. and started our tour.  We really enjoyed seeing the sets, props, models, masks, and costumes of the Harry Potter movies.  What a huge production that was.  Halfway through the tour they have a cafeteria that sells hamburgers and fries along with Butterbeer in souvenir mugs.  I loved how the cream on the drink would bubble and foam.  Some of the amazing sets included the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, Gringott's, Diagon Alley, the Hogwart's Express and Platform, and the final exhibit which is a large scale model of Hogwart's School.  We spent about five hours there.  We took the reverse trip, but we used a West Midland train instead of the Overland which was a much faster trip to Euston Station.  We split up on the Underground.  I got off at Bayswater while Wendy and Jeffrey continued on to Notting Hill.  I stopped to buy pizza.  I found a Pizza Hut just outside the station, and then I hopped on a double-decker bus to return to Notting Hill.  We ate pizza for dinner and called it a night.  We knew that the next day would need an early start and plenty of rest.
