The boy who lived

magic conquered my heart 15 years ago (take a look until the very end)

hey followers well I´ve been absent for some time but I wasn´t lazy. I made a trip to one of the most beautiful and breath taking museum I have ever been. I gonna show you where I´ve been but first I have to tell you something. One half of my heart has been conquered by sports & a good and almost healthy lifestyle and the other half is full of magic and fantasy. Yes I have to confess that I somehow believe a little bit in magic. That´s why my absofuckingloutely favorite books are the 7 Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. Whoever says this is bullshit has no culture.. sorry I really can´t understand people who doesn´t like these books but everybody has his own opinion. My quote is.

The people who don´t believe in magic will never find it.

So the German book came out in 1999 and I was 6 years  old so I couldn´t read that good but I always tried and the first real book I read was Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone. I was so upset with the story that I always got the book as soon as it came out in german. They becam quite quickly my favorite books & I swear I ve read them already 14 times each, exept the 2 last ones I´ ve read them only´ 4-5 times.
I can tell you I am heart over head all in!
I even can´t explain how much I love the story. In every book there is such a suspence and they are written with so much love. (As you know J.K.Rowling wasn´t very rich and she told their kids this story and they are / were the reason why she wrote it down) Everytime I read the books I have it on my mind that this was once a good night story and became one of the most reading story in the world!
(There is something I like to tell you, I once asked myself what I love most in my room and the answer was/is my Harry Potter books and I was once thinking about what I would rescue if our house was burning down- if my family and my pet were already safe & the answer was: my Harry Potter books) I know this is crazy and I know that everbody knows that I could walk into a bookstore and buy new books but that´s the point!
It wouldn´t be the same feeling reading them again...
In my opinion everytime your read a book it changes and everytime you open/close it, it becomes thicker. The book is filled with your thoughts and memories and your ideas how this wonderful world could be.



This Christmas I was in London with my boyfriend and we visited THE MAKING OF HARRY POTTER in Leavsden/Watford. It is little 1 hour ride. We took a bus from Golden Tours which whom we drove to the museum. As in the 3rd Harry Potter movie we went there with a doppel decker bus yeah! 



After 1 hour we arrived in front of the Museum and only seeing this was incredible! I think I have never been so happy! I was so excited and it was unbelievable.

I think you can see how happy we were!
So we entered the museum and I was so amazed, the first minuts I didn´t realized that I was really at the place where the actors lived there for 10 years! We were lucky because we arrived 1 hour before the entrance time but I asked if we could go in one hour earlier & they let us in. So we had 3hours for the tour!

1st we came into a room where they explained us how the idea was born to make a film of each book and who took part in these. Then we entered a cinema room where they showed us a little film. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint told us some facts for e.x that they went to school in the studios for 10 years and that 17´000 people made the wand boxes in Olivanders shop and that every box is unique and placed by every member.

After the film the screen rolled up and we were in front of the doors to the great Hall and I really felt like going to my first year in Hogwarts.

When I came into the next room my heart stopped for a second it was so overwhelming! A dream came true, I was standing just in front of Hogwarts... I was speechless and happy and confused and so on ! Just take a look at these and take a deep breath! 
& please listen to this song while you take a look at the castle (they played it there too)

I was sitting for 20 minuts in front of the castle and as I had no words to say my heart spoke for itself & I have to avoid that I was crying because I was still so overwhelmed.
As you can se we are quite small camparison with the castle

& here the last room of the exhibition
These a wand boxes and they are all unique and as I already mentioned 17´000 people took part in this. (think about it)



Last but  not least J.K.Rowlings words before my post comes to an end and the exhibition is over.
