Museum of the little boy in glasses

• Museum of the little boy with glasses

Today I'll tell you, little children, a story about a little boy who was very fond of magic. He lived in a big castle, and everything seemed to him very interesting and exciting ...

Okay, okay, it was a joke. In fact, I'll tell you about Harry Potter museum, which is located on the outskirts of London. It is interesting that the postcode of the area is no longer in London, but physically it belongs to London. I myself am not a huge fan of Harry. Moreover, I watched only the first film about him and do not read books, but to visit the museum was quite interesting. Poetomubyli purchased tickets and plan a trip to this same museum.

Tickets can be purchased online only. Well, maybe you can on the spot, but the site says that at the box office tickets are not sold. Ticket looks like this:

As you can see, the ticket is valid on a certain date and time. So, to go from central London, this museum is quite far. Google gave a forecast for exactly one hour but I went half an hour because of the traffic. Three times missed turns, so if you go to the car, then be very careful and take the exit in advance. Pleased by the fact that you can be a little late. Already at the entrance to the museum very much the attitude: all are on duty, kindly point out where to go and where to park the car. At 4:00 there was no queue at all and I almost immediately took the ticket and immediately went inside. Inside already gathered a small group of people and we were let in.

It is worth noting that it was possible to rent an audio guide in which there are Russian, but the price tag off scale - £ 4.95, so I decided to do without it. In the first room a short film that was invented the idea of ​​making a film.

There is nothing special, just a short video. In the next room is already showing a more detailed video, where the 3 main actors talk about their experiences. Unfortunately, it was forbidden to shoot in this room. After that we were taken to the next room.

Then a museum employee tried to even more interest us and after a short story opened the doors to the main hall.

That's all. I tried to put more pictures than text. I really liked that the museum staff are very friendly and cheerful. Everyone is smiling and joking, it's very nice. Again, I'm not a fan of Harry series, but go to the museum was very interesting. Still, the film was shot almost 10 years and the tremendous amount of work has been done. All highly recommend!
