We had visited the Harry Potter Film Studio last time we were in London, but the kids were six years younger and only Lindsay had read all the books (and she hadn't yet seen all the movies). Now everyone but Erik has read all the books (Stone has read them from start to finish seven times) and we have all seen all the movies... and Grammy and Grandpa watched all the movies in preparation to come! So we were super thrilled and excited to be back.
 |
| It's a thrilling moment when they open the door and you walk into the Great Hall |
 |
| We all dressed in our Harry Potter gear |
 |
| My favorite room is Dumbledore's office |
 |
| Grammy and Grandpa were mesmerized! They said they could have stayed for hours and hours longer (and I think they could have been on the design team!! This is their cup of tea and their wheelhouse!!) |
 |
| It was so fun to share this experience with them! |
 |
| Stone is coming up on age 11 this year!! |
 |
| Grammy and Grandpa wanted a picture of Erik with the chess pieces, but Erik said no thanks, reminding me that children don't like posing for their parents' pictures at any age. :) |
 |
| But this one was the kids' idea - it's a recreation of one they took when they were little. Now they are ages 17, 15, 12, and 10 |
 |
| And here is the original: ages 11, 9, 6, and 4. Lindsay has stayed the same height while everyone else has grown! |
 |
And leaving the studios, sad that it's over. Afterward, lunch at a Turkish restaurant, then home to rest, then berry cobbler and ice cream and games at our house.
