On January 10^th, 28 students from LaSWAP Film Studies, along with a group of students in Year 9 who had participated in the Film Project last summer, were taken to the magical Warner Brothers Studio Tour to learn about the filmmaking wizardry behind the Harry Potter film series.

Students were able to walk onto the famous sets, take choreography lessons and even experience the thrill of riding a broomstick over London with the help of some green-screen technology during the day. Ms Kay-Kreizman even got in on the action with some wand lessons with our sixth formers!

As well as being a hugely enjoyable trip, students also relished the opportunity to learn more about the craft of filmmaking and speak to industry professionals about their experiences working on the iconic film series. Roko in 9w said this about his experience on the day “The trip was very interesting for me, I learned to love Harry Potter and learnt a lot about filmmaking in general and I am grateful for the chance to have gone! What a magical day!”
