Nicola Blackmore
"I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I loved the books (I queued at midnight to get them when they released!) and also love the films, the stage show and anything Harry Potter themed! The Warner Bros Studio Tour is definitely a happy place for me and I am slowly collecting all the Lego sets too."
