After touring my grandfather's studio, we went around Warner Bros. studio itself. The building props all seemed familiar, and in person were very good at fooling you into thinking they're real...until you see that they're only three feet wide and painted on. We also visited the F.R.I.E.N.D.S stage! I was so excited, considering that I'd marathon-d all ten seasons right before my trip.
Then we were off to see the highlight of the day: the Warner Bros. Museum! Inside where original props from t.v. shows and movies, and one entire floor devoted to Harry Potter. Being a huge fan, I was bouncing up and down the whole time.
I remember watching this show when I was ten!
The Great Gatsby costumes
My Fair Lady, another movie I watched right before visiting.
Me and the Joker from Batman.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S outfits!

A goblin from the first movie, when Harry first visited Gringotts Bank
Four of the Seven Horcruxes, i.e. the Hogwarts Founders' items.
This was my favourite scene in the first movie. There was a little girl there who posed beside it, beaming, and it brought back so many memories.
Assorted props from the Seventh movie, I think.
How the troll from the second movie worked! So cool
Go Hufflepuff! Quidditch props.
The Nimbus 2000
Dobby the House Elf
A Mandrake Root, still a baby.
The Marauders Map. I actually own one of these!
The stabbed diary from the second movie.
Creepy double from the second movie, when Hermione was petrified.
The note in her hand that revealed the monster plaguing Hogwarts in the second movie.
After all the excitement, me, my brother, and my grandfather were starving, so we went for some lunch. My brother and I got vegetarian burritos, which were huge and delicious, and some freshly made tortilla chips, which were amazing. After stuffing ourselves, we visited the gift shop to buy some things for our friends and family.
Delicious salsa, though not spicy enough for my tastes, and the best salsa verde I've ever tasted. I could eat it on its own.
Heading towards the gift shop.
To close our day, we took the long way home and drove through the Sunset Strip and Beverly Hills.
And for a closing shot, a picture of Conan O'Brien's moon, that my grandfather painted.
