We only had 2 touristy days while in London. The third was dedicated to MuggleNet Live: Expo Patronum, a one day Harry Potter conference my friend Kat was running. I was assigned to the autograph room and was in charge of making sure only those with the right tickets came in the room, and then made sure no one lingered too long.
So, photo diary time! In the final two pictures you'll see Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas) and Nick Shirm (Zacharias Smith), two actors from the films. There were plenty of others in attendance, but I mainly talked with Alfie and Nick so I made sure to get photographic proof. Nick has a band, Manifesto, that I really enjoy so we talked about that a bit. And Alfie, as many of you will know, recently starred in How to Get Away with Murder on ABC.

Our second day in London a group of us went to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter. They have made a few changes since I was last there for the Grand Opening in 2012 so it was really fun to visit again, especially with people who had never been before. If you are ever visiting London and are a movie fan (doesn't even have to be Harry Potter) I highly recommend it.

This is what I wore for my first day in London. Most of the day was spent walking around, shopping and sightseeing. A big group of us also went to Pizza Express for dinner, because I had to have their dough balls - so good! I also made a few of my fellow travelers find Denmark Street, the street Cormoran Strike lives/works on. Strike is the main character of J.K. Rowling's crime series under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Such good books!
These photos were taken outside Cafe Boheme, where I met up with a friend who lives in London for some tea (water for me).

Just as I had to bring my Chanel to Paris with me (to see it's homeland, obviously) I couldn't leave my Carven Paris Map print dress behind! Luckily I had plenty of room in my suitcase so it didn't need to get wrinkled. I had planned on wearing it more than once (again in Greece) but this ended up being the only time I wore it.
