***This is a scheduled post***
Last October half term, I went to London, to see the Harry Potter Studios. For someone who's a huge, huge, huge Potter fan (as in, words can't express how much that series means to me), it was an experience that I will never forget. It was so amazing seeing it all, and having it brought even more to life. I will admit quite openly that there were tears, particularly at the end; the final part of the whole thing involves going round a corner, and seeing a scale model of the Hogwarts castle. I hadn't heard about that bit, so I wasn't prepared. As I walked round the corner, I was walking by my mum, chatting. When I saw the castle, however, I completely stopped and gasped, unable to do anything but stand there and cry as I saw the place that has quite genuinely been my childhood. My mum turned round to see me, and told me later that the look upon my face at that moment made the cost, travel etc. absolutely and completely worth it. I will never experience a moment quite like that again, nor can I explain what it meant to me. Harry Potter has been a force in my life that goes far beyond words, or anything really, and I can truly say, hand on my heart, that I would not be who I am today without that world of magic. I think it would also be safe to say that I probably wouldn't be here, were it not for J.K.Rowling and her magical pen. Maybe those two facts help you to see the importance and impact of the series on my life; I'm not really sure what else to put here!Anyway, at the time I was unable to post pictures, and as life went on I kept being unable to, for various reasons. Therefore, I thought I'd use the Twitter idea of a 'Throwback Thursday' to share the pictures with you all. I really wish I could post each individually, and write my comments about each- however, there are far too many, and it would take years! So here they are, in a slideshow; maybe at some point I'll choose those that mean most to me and say a little more.
Going to go now before I become an emotional wreck and keep blabbering on about just how much Harry and his world means to me. We all know- as I've said just now, several times- that I won't get close to conveying that. Over and out! x
