Has anyone done this?...

How much is/was it? Worth it?..

Pretty expensive (it was a whole back but I think I paid about 25 quid a head), but quite good really if you're a bit of a nerd (which I guess you would be to even consider going).

The gift shop is an absolute piss take price wise though.

£25? Well that's not bad at all.. Yeah, I'm very much a nerd.. as is the woman I'm marrying I'm afraid.

We've done the Harry Potter world in Florida and are going back there next year so merch-wise we're covered...

Thanks! :-)

I've been - twice - which is probably once more than necessary.  However, for anyone with more than a passing Potter interest, it's a pretty enchanting experience....I'd merrily recommend it, butter beer and all.

The shop and extra options are indeed mind boggling, I enjoyed the browsing, safe in the knowledge I'd be resisting shelling out even more.

Ah that's not too bad.. I was expecting double that to be fair..

I'd have looked myself, but I'm on nights the internet allows only certain websites..

Funnily enough TEF is one of them!.. Thanks.

I went a couple of years ago and it was £27 a head. Book for as early a start as you can and you can then spend as long as you like walking round and checking out all the exhibits.

A good day out for fans.

I'm not going to be going for a while yet, just thought I'd ask the question... so let me know how it is if you go before me..

Two of my sisters and their family have been, both said it was amazing. Expensive, but a ton of fun if you like the films or the books.

A workmate who hadn't read the books or watched the films went with his family, he was dreading it but in the 4 months since he's been he's read and watched the lot.

Be aware that you need to pre-book, you can't just roll up on the day.

Yeah its good if you have kids, still interesting for adults though. The gift shop is pricey, but its quite a decent quality of tat.

I wish they would make a hunger games or game of thrones world!

Am I the only person that's never read a Harry Potter book or watched a single film? Passed me by a bit?
