Hogwarts in the Snow | Warner Brothers Studios

05 December 2014

Are you sitting down with a nice cup of tea? Good. This is a long one so be prepared! I had no self control when trying to limit the photos down for this post.

Although I lived in England last year I was lucky enough to spend the holiday season back home with my family. This year however will be my first Christmas away from home. Although I'll miss everyone I am extremely excited to have an English Christmas! There's no better way to kick off this Christmas season by sharing something extremely British.... My visit to Hogwarts in the Snow!

My first visit to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London was over a year ago. I was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't properly take everything in. Having wanted to go back at some point, Hogwarts in the Snow seemed like the perfect opportunity. From 14th November to 1 of February, the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studios are transformed for the holiday season. The Christmas trees are put up, the tables are decorated, and the snow is everywhere.

If you haven't been to the Warner Bros. Studio in London, all tickets must be booked in advance. We booked our tickets over a month in advanced and that particular day sold out barely a couple of hours afterwards! Upon arrival you are greeted by Daniel, Rupert, and Emma (or at least, the 2D versions of them) who share with you some special behind the scenes footage. Afterwards, the magic begins. I won't spoil all the fun for those of you who haven't been but a word of advice, allow yourself at LEAST three hours to properly explore.


Doesn't Hogwarts just look amazing?!

On a side note, I want to thank everyone for all the support given on my last post. I had been so hesitant to post my visa problems but hearing everyone else's stories made me remember I'm not alone in this. The blogging community is filled with kindred spirits who have been through similar situations. Thank you for all the support and I'll be sure to keep you updated! My little week long blogging break was much needed but I have a lot in store for Bristol In My Pocket this holiday season!

Happy Friday!

Harry Potter Studios

18 September 2013

If you know me well enough, you know that Harry Potter is a major part of my life. I read the first book when I was 10 and twelve years later I still have a wonderful obsession with the series. 

While in London, my mom and I were dying to take a trip to the Warner Brothers Studios. After managing the underground and the overground (not so effortlessly), we somehow made it just in time for our ticket slots. 

If you are planning to take a trip to see the studio for yourself, I highly encourage you to NOT scroll on. It is an experience that everyone should enjoy to the fullest on their own :)



On another note I am back in Bristol! School doesn't start for a couple of weeks so I plan on using this time to explore my new city!

England, I love you, but I'm cold. How do you even work a radiator?
