Today I went to two more museums. First I went to the Childhood Museum. It was pretty cool. i saw a lot of toys I had when I was younger. There were a lot of different toys and such, but mostly toys. They had some Dr. Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, and LOTR toys. They had some Lego's and some duplex for the kids to play with. Most of the toys seemed like they were very expensive, mostly the doll houses and tea sets.
For my aesthetics class we went to the National Gallery. We looked at some famous paintings that they have there, and talked about them. We have to write another paper about a painting.
The best part of the day was the Harry Potter Walking Tour. First we met on platform 8 at Kings Cross Station. We then went and looked at the barrier between the platforms like what would be where platform 9 3/4 would have been if the platforms were next to each other. The walkway with the clock was taken down, so we didn't get to see that part. Next we went to the platform 9 3/4 where they have the trolley bolted to the brick wall with a sign. Of course I got my picture taken. We saw a lot of things. We went to see the door of the leaky cauldron from the first movie, and then the leaky cauldron from movie two next to the bookshop and with the window that Harry looks out of. We saw the outside of St. Pancras Station where Ron drove the car in COS. We saw the area where the phone box takes Harry and Arthur to the MoM, and the tube station that they used to get there, Westminster. We saw some other things too including the millennium bridge, London Bridge, and some of the areas where they filmed people looking for Harry in POA and various shots of the Ministry. It was a lot of fun. Out guide was really nice, kind of like another Molly Weasley just the muggle version. She even gave us a lemon drop.
