A selection of photos I took during a September 2017 visit to the Making Of Harry Potter tour at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, where a large portion of the film series was made. It is an incredible traipse through the actual props and sets used in creating the movies, self-guided and self-paced (after an initial controlled entry). I went by myself, so I spent a lot of time looking for interesting details of the sort easily overlooked if one is keeping an eye on their kids in a crowded public space. I was limited to going handheld, using the ambient light, but I had the time and patience to square up a number of shots I was very happy with, some of which I'm putting here.
