Harry Potter Studios?

[Sounne]

Has anyone been to the Harry Potter studios near Watford and is it worth it and how long do you need there?

YES!I loved it, but I love the books and films, I think it was very worth it, I looked at EVERYTHING and I reckon it took me about 3 hours but it could be done a little quicker depending how thorough you are :) you have to book in advance and book a slot, my friend is taking her son soon and he is deaf, she has booked someone for free to take them on a tour and sign for him :) go and enjoy :)

I enjoyed it too, there's plenty to see and do. I'd say three hours for your visit is about right. It is in the middle of nowhere though. You can get the bus from the station but it's another 25 minutes. So a very tiring day altogether. The cafe and shop are quite pricey, we took a packed lunch.

Good idea about the packed lunch and the restaurent looked packed too when we were there, if going by train theres a bus that takes you right to the door, big HP bus 50p return or something.

Great I will go ahead and book then and thanks for your suggestion of a packed lunch. Perfect!

I'm planning on taking my 10 yr old there for her birthday in July and I have to say I'm quite excited about it myself.

I'd heard that it's not worth buying anything in the shop as it's really expensive and you can get the merchandise a lot cheaper on amazon/ebay etc.
