Harry Potter fever

By Abi Simpson

It's been a busy week in the wizarding world!  First comes the news of three new Harry Potter films, and now I have discovered the magic that is a Harry Potter themed hotel.


Warner Bros announced earlier this week that there is going to be a new trilogy of Harry Potter films, released every 2 years from 2016.  Some would argue that all good things need to come to an end, which is very true, but can you ever have enough Potter?

The first of the three films is going to be based around one of the textbooks used in the original trilogy, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'. 

It will follow the adventures of Newt Scamander (fictional author of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them') in New York's hidden community of witches and wizards, seventy years before Harry Potter first reads the book at Hogwarts. 

This film is set to be very different from the original trilogy and so shouldn't risk audiences boring of the same plots over and over. Not that you could ever be bored of Harry Potter!

In addition to this the Georgian House Hotel, near Victoria Station in London has launched it's new Harry Potter themed rooms.  

Not only can you spend the night in a Hogwarts themed bedroom, but you can book the full Harry Potter package, which includes a tour around all the London sites used in the film and a trip to the Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio Tour, to see all the original costumes, sets and props.


If that isn't enough to satisfy anyone's Harry Potter fix, then I don't know what is!  The countdown has begun, no pressure JK.
