The Making Of Harry Potter Warner Brothers Studio Tour Leavesden London UK
(posted on 18/05/2012 @ 14:57:22)
Harry Potter fans world wide please take note, "The Making Of Harry Potter" Warner Bros Studio Tour which is situated in Leavesden studios (the now biggest movie back lot in Europe) in north London UK, is the best exhibit and attraction we at The Monster Company have ever been to! This is highly recommended and takes your breathe away! It adds to the Harry Potter movies and does not destroy the magic that has spanned 7 books and 8 feature movies. We spent four hours in the exhibition and were still unable to take everything in, we could quite happily go back and still see and learn more about The Making Of Harry Potter.

The pricing of the tour is amazing and you definitely get more than you monies worth with this! Warner Brothers Leavesden studios are very accessable, ample free parking and very friendly staff everywhere. The link to the exhibit is http://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk .
