Happy 20th Harry Potter!

Or more appropriately, Happy 20th anniversary Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone! Can you believe it?! The book that started all the magic in the Wizarding World was first published twenty years ago today in the United Kingdom! Man, I feel old, haha! Though, for me, it won't be until the dawn of the new millennium that I have first opened the pages of this enchanting book. Regardless, I still feel old, haha! But seriously now, thank you very much Harry for letting me accompany you in your adventures, and grow up with you on the process. And I think most importantly, thank you for introducing me to a whole lot of wonderful people, not only in your world but also in mine. Of course when I say Harry, I truly meant the virtuoso behind it all. To Joanne Kathleen Rowling, thank you very much for adding magic in my childhood!

(P.S. I almost forgot that this is a LEGO fan blog, so thank you LEGO for translating the Wizarding World into brick form. Awesome! Oh, and my LEGO Harry Potter visited the studio tour as well.)

LEGO Harry Potter in the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London!

With LEGO and Harry Potter, the possibilities are endless! So why not combine both? That's what I thought when I first came to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. Unfortunately, I don't have any Harry Potter minifigures at that time. Good thing he was re-released in the LEGO Dimensions Team Pack [71247], making this opportunity possible on my second visit.

For most of the pictures, I balanced Harry on the uneven protective steel barriers in the studio, making my heart skip a beat every time for fear of losing my figure to the other side. Fortunately, he fell towards my direction on the two instances he fell. I also received weird stares from the crowd, but who cares? I'm not breaking any rules, or causing any sort of delay to anyone. I'm just having fun! I also brought my Voldemort minifigure, but I haven't found any scene worth shooting, yet. I'm sure Warner Bros. will add something in the near future for me to be able to do that. They have the Forbidden Forrest new this year, however it didn't work so well for a LEGO mini-pictorial. And hopefully soon, something for Mr. Newt Scamander as well from the Fantastic Beasts sets.

In the meantime, here's Harry in some of the iconic sets from the magical film series. Enjoy!
