I had a wonderful opportunity to visit Harry Potters World near London where the Embassy Language school students from China -Harry Potter fans since they were babies,proved an authentically magic experience with original sets,costumes and props.
I think the feel of the costumes projected a Quintesessential English Style with a dash of medieval ..
There were very detailed explanation of how the makeup,sets and special effects were created including the animated creatures that inhabit this universe, conjured up by a massive creative team.
Props were splendid including hand made wands and hand written maps and books.
The school uniforms brought back old memories....not all good..no wonder I had a raging ambition to be a clothing designer ..
