“So that building over there was
where J.K. Rowling walked to get her coffee every morning”- Tour guide with the
light up wand. How does that have
anything to do with the Harry Potter movies/books? Absolutely nothing. I have always been a Harry Potter fan and was
hoping to learn more about the Harry Potter movies on this tour. The one fact I learned about the movies on
this tour that I did find interesting was that behind these doors in this
building is the inspiration for Gringotts bank scenes in the movies.
Even though I feel like I learned
only a little about Harry Potter on this tour, I did learn some great facts
about J.K Rowling. I saw where she
lived, what pub she went to often, and learned about where she got her inspirations
from for Harry Potter. Learning about
J.K Rowling was not exactly what I wanted to learn about going on this tour,
but knowing that she wanted London to be the main stage for the parts of the
book not at Hogwarts school was really cool.
Going from the United States to
London has made me feel like I am living in a whole new world. Harry Potter goes from London to a whole new
world full of magic. With this being
said, in a way I feel a little like Harry Potter just being in London right
now. I am learning new things everyday
about the British culture, visiting new incredible places and adjusting to
living in this new world. I was overall
disappointed with this tour, but that does not mean I had a bad time. I had a really good time being silly and
laughing with the girls. We all wanted
the cool light up wand that our tour guide was carrying. I was really excited that I got to take a
picture with Platform 9 3/4 at the end, which made up for a lot of the tour.
