Major Harry Potter geek here.
I love anything to do with Harry Potter - so absolutely jumped at the chance to go visit the place the films were actually filmed! See the sets, walk in the Great Hall...... Heaven!
The tickets were released for sale last October, and I booked mine the release date, and went for all added extras possible. These included the Digital Guide, narrated by Tom Felton, and the Souvenir Guidebook.
The Digital Guide was really interesting - in the past I have Google'd Harry Potter to death, I have seen almost every backstage behind the scenes video, interview, footage possible, so it was quite refreshing to see and hear lots of new information, made available especially for this guide.
The Souvenir Guidebook was OK. I'm glad I waiting until we were leaving before collecting it. If I'd have got it before hand, I would have read through it in the queue, and spoiled the whole tour for myself. It's basically the tour, in book-form. It'll be nice to look back on over time though.
The whole tour has had a lot of negative press. 'It's too expensive'; 'there's nothing for children to do'; 'it spoils the magic'. Admittedly, I don't think it's the place to take young children. But it's never been 'sold' as a theme park, it's a museum.
We spent just over 4 hours on the tour - including taking a break to drink Butter Beer and browsing the Gift Shop! And I managed to take over 250 photos! So I definitely think it was worth the £28 ticket price.
I've added a small selection of my own photographs below - look away now If you don't want to spoil it for yourself!
