We did this to gain understand of the film industry.
Day 1:
The tour contained all aspects of the films of Harry Potter:
E.g.
Costumes
Set designs
Props
Plans of larger set
Information of the films themselves
Costumes
It was interesting to see the original costumes, there were so many different ones. As the Harry Potter world is full of some many character it was important for the designer to create an individual outfit which would suit there character, as well as suiting an keeping truth the original source martial.
As well as make outfits which would likely appear in a wizarding world, such as wirzarding hats, robes. They also had to consider the time of the books. JK Rowling had set these books in the 90s, so the costume designer had to make choices based around that time.
The designer had made a good choice on all of these aspects.
Set Design
Just like the costumes, the set design had to be considered and work with the story and actors.
The sets have set up the whole world. As the main part of Harry Potter takes place in Hogwarts.
This means that most of the sets where class room based, The set designs effectively combined the familiar idea of real world class rooms and the magic of the Harry Potter world.
For example, The poisons room mixes text books, with caldrons. The sets help to create the world of Harry Potter, and has great amount of detail put into it to it.
Props
Harry Potter has a lot of props, such as wands, glasses. These had to be in a lot of detail as well. Unlike the books, the film has different sets of wands depending on the personality of the wizard. I thought this idea was interesting as when wanting the Harry Potter films, many wouldn't notice the difference in the wands.
It helped to add more flavour in too each character. It was also a good idea in terms of sells of Harry Potter products as there was more to chose from.
One thing about the Harry Potter studio was the way the made the Hogwarts school, rather than film a castle that already existed. The makers of Harry Potter decided to build a smaller model the well known magical school. I felt that this was the most impressive part of the tour, as it was a huge part of the film, as well as size being usually compared to the films themselves.
