Learners go on a Magical Trip to the Making of Harry Potter
In December learners from across Weston College, were immersed in the captivating world of wizardry and wonder, when they visited the Warner Brothers Studio Tour - Making of Harry Potter.
The trip which was organised by the Student Union, was not just a visit to a movie set; it was an educational adventure that peeled back the curtains on the intricate artistry behind the beloved Harry Potter film series.
The highlight of the trip was an exclusive workshop that delved into the behind-the-scenes magic of bringing J.K. Rowling's wizarding world to life on the silver screen.
It was a fascinating experience, where learners found out about the colossal planning involved in creating a blockbuster film. Beyond the glitz of acting and filming, learners discovered more around the unseen heroes who contribute to the enchantment – including planning, resource and funding.
One fascinating revelation during the workshop was the revelation that Hagrid, the lovable giant of the series, had a body double who stood an impressive six feet ten inches tall and happened to be a rugby player. This revelation added a layer of awe to the learners' understanding of the film, showcasing the intricate details and teamwork involved in crafting a cinematic masterpiece.
After the enlightening workshop, learners embarked on a magical tour through the expansive studio, where the iconic sets of the Harry Potter universe came to life. Gringotts Bank, the Great Hall, and Diagon Alley were among the fantastical locations explored. As the learners strolled through these hallowed halls, they were treated to a visual feast of authentic costumes, awe-inspiring props, and the secrets behind the special effects that made the wizarding world come alive on screen.
No trip to the wizarding world would be complete without a taste of butterbeer, a magical beverage featured in the films.
A big thank you to Luke, who went on the trip, for the pictures.
