 Yes, its true – 2 grown adults can indeed spend hours enjoying the delights of Harry's world ofwizardry and witchcraft, somewhere not too far from glamorous Watford.<\/p>\n

As Liz said 'I'm not sure which one of us is more excited' as we arrived, wands at the ready, for our tour today.<\/p>\n

Thoroughly enjoyed the variety of all things Harry, from the Great Hall to the Aragog spiders in the Forbidden Forest, right down to the Whumping Willow and Hagrid's house.<\/p>\n

Of course, had to have a go at pushing the luggage trolley through to Platform 9 and 3\/4 – somehow the wall didn't quite give way for either of us.<\/p>\n

And loved wandering up Diagon Alley, stopping at Ollivanders to admire the wands and the Weasley sweetshop for some vomit candy. As you do.<\/p>\n

A fitting tribute to the amazing imagination of JK Rowling, hats off to her that even adults were wandering around in Gryffindor outfits, capes and scarves. Right down to maps of Hogsmeade on leggings and cat velvet shoes, yup there were some corkers.<\/p>\n

And of course, topped it all off with the obligatory toe-curling photo of me on a broomstick. I am now officially a a member of witchdom, if I wasn't already..<\/p>\n
