Harry Potter Studios

On the Wednesday we all travelled to the Warner Brothers Studios to see the tour of Harry Potter.  What I liked about the tour was the fact that the costumes were on display in the different locations that they were seen in the films allowing us to see how they reacted to the desired settings and lighting.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Dance scene

 These costumes were seen during the dance held in the forth film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.  These costumes show the characteristics of each of the different characters.  The pink  dress that was used for Hermione looks girly and sweet; which showed a different side of the character that was previously unseen.  However, Cho Chang's costume shows her asian heritage in the style of the neckline and sleeves.    For Harry's black suit at the front it looks to be too big for him showing that he had to borrow the suit.

I found that this image I took to be quite interesting because it shows that mould that was used to create Fleur Delacour's iconic blue pointed hat.

I found it really interesting to see how the invisibility cloak had been created by lining it with green material to act as a green screen to edit in post-production.

Another thing that was fascinating was the costumes worn by Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge. The light pink colours and the soft woollen materials used would suggest that she was a kind and friendly character but her actual character was cruel and mean towards everybody.
