Then on Saturday, afternoon we took the kids for a drive....and surprised them with a visit to the WB Harry Potter Studios in Leavesden, England. This is where much of the filming took place for the movies, and where most of the existing sets and props are now stored. Since I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter books and movies, this was a bit of a present for me too :-). Here'as a few pictures from our tour...it was amazing!
While waiting to get in, we saw one of the places where it all began...in the cupboard under the stairs.
One side of the Great Hall all set up for a Christmas feast
Inside the Ministry of Magic
What does butter beer taste like? Extra creamy cream soda...with lots of froth on top!
Outside No. 4 Privet Drive
Diagon Alley
At the end of the tour we got to see the enormous Hogwarts model...breathtaking.
Overall we were so impressed by the tour, I already want to go back! Definitely, one of the highlights of England. We finished off the night in the gift shop of course, and left with a "few" magic wands among other things. Avery got a cute "Seeker" baseball cap.

Avery finished up his birthday weekend with a relaxing day at home to recover from the previous 2 days.
