Welcome to Hogwarts

After waiting 11 years for my Hogwarts letter.....not getting it and finishing high school and starting college...finally receiving it!

...coming all the way to London to get through Platform 9 and 3/4...

...I have finally arrived at Hogwarts!

Okay....true Harry Potter fans will know that this isn't the "real" Great Hall from the movie.  That was a set.  However, this is the dining hall that they based the design on!    This is the dining hall at Christ Church in Oxford which is part of Oxford University.  I got to see a few places that they actually filmed the movies (where Harry learned to play Quidditch and some of the staircases).  They filmed several scenes at the many colleges of Oxford, and I hope to make it back there before the semester is over to see  other locations!
