Harry Potter Studio Tour

To complete their Harry Potter course, the members of the club were treated to a special visit to The Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour. They went behind the scenes of the movies and saw how the magic is brought to life. They experienced life in Hogwarts as they explored the Great Hall. They took flight on broomsticks, and travelled aboard the Hogwarts Express. 

They have enjoyed the movies this year, and tested their knowledge of the stories by competing in regular quizzes and competitions.
