In one word - amazing. AMAZING.
I won't babble on too much at the moment, because I have a full article ready to go to press (which I'll link to when it's live). So I'll just pop a few photos up, and tell you my personal highlights.
I was there on a press preview day, so I had to reign in my own excitement quite a bit. I also had to refrain from touching the robes of Snape, or making inappropriate comments around his mannequin.
There were plenty of moments where I forgot about being professional, and leapt around like a small puppy...

Snape's hair. You're not allowed to smell it. |

Hogwarts, which will really take your breath away. |
I'm a big Harry Potter fan, and was not disappointed. Keep checking back for more in the next few weeks...
I want to be there.
ReplyDeleteIn fairness, I'm no big Harry Potter fan but that does look quite stunning.
