Warner Bros' tour

Hi Everyone,

I met a friend at Warner Bros. studio yesterday for a tour and had to write 
and tell you a bit about the HP related things.  It's a 2.5 hour studio tour 
that starts with a walk through the WB museum.  Well, the ENTIRE second floor 
is  Harry Potter memoriabilia!  You walk up the stairs to it and pass under a 
"privet drive" sign that has an owl on  it, then at the top of the stairs you 
are greeted by a HUGE Hagrid costume (complete with bundled baby in a sling) ... 
the motorcycle is there, a signed first edition of all five books is encased 
on display, a full sized 'grim', trelawney's costume and crystal ball, 
Lockharts costume and books, Ron, Hermoine and Harry's costumes from POA, Harry and 
Quirrels costume from SS (boy has Dan grown!) standing within the frame from 
the mirror of erised, the griffindor sword, Snape's "grandmother" costume from 
the boggart scene in POA, a full size dementor costume, Molly's clock 
(brilliant!), Molly and Arthur costumes, Harry's quidditch costume from POA, a 
quidditch "kit" (bludgers, snitch, etc), the fireplace from SS with letters flying out 
of it, a stool and sorting hat (I sat on it and got sorted!) and the thing 
that REALLY creeped me out, laying in the back full size on a table was the 
petrified hermoine from COS holding the mirror in one hand.  The page from the 
book with the word "pipes" was displayed encased next to it.   

I'm sure I'll think of more, but have to get my son to school right now.  If 
you live in the LA area, go check this out.  The tour is $35, but it's long, 
indepth and the HP stuff is worth every penny.  Most of the items were not 
encased ... you could walk right up to it, but not touch.  And no camera's were 
allowed.  :(  I was bummed about that.  

More later ..........
