behind the Seams workshop at Warner Brothers Studio tour part one....





I recently attended a fabulous workshop at the Warner Brothers Studio tour at Leavesdon Studio in Watford(or London as they like to advertise) called 'The making of Harry Potter behind the seams'. The ticket I purchased allowed me both entrance to the Studio tour and the workshop. An hour and a half into the Studio Tour I had to meet up by the doors next to Malfoy's Manor. I was then whisked away with other muggles and magical folk to a secret(ish) location.
The workshop which ran for nearly two hours was a wonderful experience. We saw videos explaining the design, research that goes into each costumes and construction. We also got to look extremely close up to a selection of original hero costumes(ones worn by the actors rather than stuntmen) including Professor Sprout, Luna Lovegood's beautiful Christmas dress, He who must not be named, Mad Eye Moody as well as Harry Potter's! The WB team who presented the workshop where extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. Also as the workshop was booked for a small group of visitors it felt very exclusive and special.
At the end the workshop we were allowed to try on real prop cloaks, ask further questions, and take photos. We then were magically returned to Malfoy's Manor and left to continue on with our Studio tour!
