The Place where the Magic Happens-- Both On and Off the Screen

Today we dove headfirst into the world of Harry Potter, exploring the very place where our favorite trio grew up-- the Warner Brother's Harry Potter Studio.  Needless to say, we were enthralled, carefully budgeting time to make sure we had a decent amount of time to spend in the enormous gift store.  We saw everything from the Great Hall to the Gryffindor common room to the Ministry of Magic to Diagon Alley to concept art to the Hogwarts model used for filming.

This evening, we had a bittersweet final group dinner as we reflected over the trip and mentally prepared to say goodbye to the wonderful Oxford and the magical world of Harry Potter.
