"' You are here to learn the subtle science and exact art of potion-making,' he began. He spoke in barely more than a whisper, but they caught every word - like Professor McGonagall, Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort. 'As there is little foolish wand-waving here, many of you will hardly believe this is magic. I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering cauldron with its shimmering fumes, the delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensnaring the senses ... I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, even stopper death - if you aren't as big a bunch of dunderheads as I usually have to teach.'"
- Serverus Snape in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling.

The costumes on display at the Harry Potter Studio Tour had so much detail it was difficult to look away. Just take a look at Fleur's shoes, or the tiny suit of armor seen for perhaps only one shot in the films. There was one part of the tour that included multiple version's of Harry's outfit from the final battle. Each version got progressively dirtier and torn up. The level of intricacy and attention to detail present in the film is astonishing and really came to life on the tour. Not just in the costumes either, but in all the special effects, the props, the scenery. Everything was spectacularly done and provided such a lovely experience that I went away wishing (even more so) that I were a witch attending Hogwarts. Sigh, perhaps my letter will come next year (I've always been a late bloomer).
