Today, we took a train to Watford to enjoy the Harry Potter experience. This is located at the same studio as the movies we’re filmed and included lots of the original sets, costumes, props, etc. It was very interesting to learn more about how some of the props were made and how they brought the magic to life. We also couldn’t miss the butterbeer at a cafe halfway through the tour! It was very interesting to learn how much thought and time went into every detail. For example, we learned that it can take a full day for them to create the eyebrows for one goblin! 
After making our way back to London, we spend some time gathering our belongings and doing laundry before heading to dinner with two new friends from the hostel. We went to a pub nearby which was, unfortunately, out of fish and chips. Regardless, we had a very nice time getting to know each other and ended up back at the hostel’s bar for one more drink. Out of no where, the dj started singing karaoke and passing the mic to other people in the bar. We sang along (from our seats) and cheered on the singers. It was a great way to spend our last evening in London, tomorrow afternoon, we will be heading to Paris!
