london I - 'the making of harry potter' studio tour

flight was good, food was divine.
watched several movies, didn't get to sleep much.
a total of 14 hours journey, excluding 3 hour transit.
got to fly with Airbus A380 - just WOW.

seated too close to the wing, hence no good pics.

i loved these flight path thingy :)

people told me that Heathrow Express would be expensive --
no trouble, just ride the tube.
there's a direct tube from heathrow to central london,
takes longer but doesn't cost as much.


mama immediately got excited when we found a market
(notice the big luggage bag)

hammersmith
this is near our apartment

marble arch
the other end of oxford street

trip to oxford street was necessary, we needed to find warmer clothes
but i couldn't find the trench coat i wanted here
oxford st is sooo long, or we were probably just tired

an hour and a half's journey from central london is here :)

the great hall

all the costumes

the gryffindor boys' dormitory

wands

the burrow's kitchen
(possibly my favourite place of all, so comfy)

10 points to your house if you could tell me which movie this came from

dementors

amazingly, this statue was described in the book.
it got to feature in the movies for.. what? 10 seconds?
and yet look at the details the producers had thought through.

this expansion was newly opened the day i visited
-- hogwarts express!
it's amazing, you can even walk inside the train.
i even found the R+L heart thing :)

i didn't have to go to kings cross station to get this shot :3



all these they have to do..
makes you appreciate the movies more,
even when you disagree with some stuffs from the movie
