Sonja and Tessa: The long awaited day arrived!! and Harry Potter World delivered!! Around three and a half hours of wandering the different sets and we still didn’t see it all. Highlights included the great hall, the forbidden forest featuring an animatronic Buckbeak and Aragog and the newly created Gringotts bank complete with vaults and a re-enactment of the dragon escaping the bank. The children showed their acting skills in the flying car. The shop was well patronised with four wands bought- Hermione (Tessa), Luna (Adam), Leta Lestrange (Elise), Sirus (Lucille). Sonja tried on her house robes (Slytherin).
