Last Monday I visited the Harry Potter tour at Leavesden Studios.
The highlight of the tour was in the last room:
Hogwarts in glorious 1:24th scale.
The detail is astounding.
I walked in the room, and promptly tripped over my jaw that had dropped to the floor...
The castle alone is well worth the £28 ticket price.
For me at least :)
The model is 15 meters in diameter and took a total of 74 years to build when all the time spent by 86 artists and crew members is added up.
(that's an adult standing in front, gives you some indication of the scale)
Simply amazing.
