On Thursday 24th May 2018, Year 6 travelled to Warner Brothers Studio to explore the wonder and amazement of the filming of Harry Potter.  The tour started with the ‘birthday girl’ opening the doors to the great hall where the tables were set out like in the film.  Leading out from the hall, the tour continued where the children collected stamps from different sections and tried to find a range of snitches for their passport.  The children got to explore the dormitories, the hidden forest and lots of special effects.  They even had a chance to sit on a broomstick, use magic to lift the broomstick or cast spells using the wands.
