The WB Studio Tour, Making of Harry Potter.

Yesterday, on the 1st of September I went to the Harry Potter Studios. I saw everything and tried Butterbeer and Chocolate Frogs. When I first stepped into the Great Hall I stopped myself from crying and all I could say was "I've found my way home" It was amazing and so at home for every Potterhead who dreamt of stepping foot in the Great Hall and going to Hogwarts.

THE BIG SHOUTOUT!

I'd like to give a big shoutout to many people today.
First a big shoutout to every woman or girl or a boy under the age of 12, who did the 10km race for life in Cardiff this morning to raise money for Cancer Research. A BIG WELL DONE AND THANK YOU!  And a big hello to my team Sisters n Blisters!

A big hello to my Potterhead friend Anna! Have fun at the Harry Potter studios. Hope you get your homework in by the impossible entry date.

To the people who have told me that this blog looks very professional. Thank you!

To Olivia.M, for being my twitter buddy.

To Cerys, for being there for me when I really need to talk about Harry Potter.

And then of course you, for reading Make Art, not Horcruxes. Because without you this blog would be nothing.

Big shoutout to Cari Hermione Jean Granger Dobby Hope Warman, my little sister who is a true potterhead and loves my blog. Well done her for doing the race for life today. She did 10km and raised £500 along with the rest of tue sisters n blisters team. (I was one of them)

Friendship

Friendship is a big part of Harry Potter and to some of us a big part of our lives. Harry Potter teaches us to stick by our friends when times are hard. Just like Ron and Hermione stuck by Harry before, throughout and after the war. They had their arguments just like any other people. And Harry and Hermione's relationship is sibling-like. I have two friends and the three of us together are like the Golden Trio. My friend Al is like Hermione, he is the mature one of us. My friend Cari is like Ron, she's the funny and immature but so nice. Then there's me, I'm like Harry. I'm more mature than Cari but less mature than Al. Al is like a brother to me. We grew up together and became really close. We have arguments like normal siblings and we love each other like siblings to. Friendship is a big part of growing up, when times are tough you know your friends will be there for you. Don't ever forget that.

The Weasley Family.

The Weasley Family in my opinion is the greatest fiction family ever to be written. I don't just say this because I really like Harry Potter because I've read many other books with brilliant families in them but The Weasleys are my favourite. The reason for this is that they are just so lovable and have so many different traits. They also teach us that being poor in money but rich in love is the greatest thing a man can have. Each character is different from the others. For example:

Arthur Weasley. He is a very loyal and brave man. He is loyal to his family and others around him including Harry and Dumbledore. He is intrigued by muggles and their creations. He is also a family man of course seeing as he has seven child and many grandchildren. 


Molly Weasley nee Prewett. She is kind, gentle, loving and a very motherly woman. She is very proud of her children's achievements but also very scandalized by their misbehaviour and sends that child a howler. Ron got a Howler in his second year after stealing his father's Flying Ford Anglia. She is a typical housewife and knits jumpers for her children, grandchildren and Harry every Christmas. 



William "Bill" Weasley. He is laid-back, easy going and "cool". He can be very serious though when it comes to school work and work. He is brave and have a lively sense of humour. 






Charles "Charlie" Weasley. He is an outdoor type, he always liked animals and magical creatures. He is brave and friendly to his sibling, Harry, Rubeus Hagrid and some others. 






Percy Weasley. He is ambitious and determined to reach his goals. He was is high opinionated and usually came off as ignorant or pompous since he constantly tried to look and sound dignified by calling his parents "Mother" and "Father" instead of "Mum" and "Dad" like his siblings did.




Fred Weasley. He is outgoing, daring and sarcastic of the twins. He is known for his sense of humour and he didn't take school seriously. He is also is brave and loyal to loved ones. 






George Weasley. He is the quietest, the gentler and not the cruel one of the twins. He doesn't make so harsh jokes and occasionally made fun of himself especially when he lost an ear. His prankster nature is enjoyable but is seen immature and childish by Percy and his mother. 




Ronald "Ron" Weasley. He is a very funny person but emotionally immature and insensitive. He can be moody and augmentative, he also has a fierce temper. He was very sensitive about his family's poverty. He also felt overshadowed by the legacy of his brothers and Harry's Fame.  




Ginerva "Ginny" Potter nee Weasley. She is forceful and independent person who often knew her own mind. She had an energetic and lively personality. She is not afraid to stand up for herself or anyone else. She is quick-witted and funny, she is also an animal lover.
