On Sunday the 9^th of December, a windy day, the 4^th Streatham Cubs met at Streatham common station at 2:00 pm. We were all ready to go and we were all excited. First we all got on a train and went two stops to Clapham Junction. Then we all got on another train to Watford Junction .  When we got off we all went outside to get on the Harry Potter bus which took us there. Then we got off the bus and went into the glorious Harry Potter experience. 

We picked up our tickets and queued up in line to enter and on the way to the entrance we saw Harry’s famous cupboard under the stairs.  When you entered first you went into a massive room and it had eight different screens showing the posters for the movies in different languages . The we went into the cinema, and they showed us a Video of Harry, Ron and Hermione welcoming us, before the Cinema wall went up to reveal the door way to Hogwart's. Finn got to push the door open as it was also his birthday and then we entered the extremely famous Great hall. Then the adventure began. We entered a room with lots of different props in it like

• The floating candles,
• The door to the chamber of the secrets,
• The magical stirring spoons in the classroom of professor Snape,
• The gates of Hogwarts,
• The wigs of the famous evil Lucius Malfoy
• and the … GRIFFINDOR DORMANTRY.

 Then you went into an outside bit were you could eat and get refreshments. We had a bit of our pack lunches. There was the night bus and the flying car and the annoying Dursleys house. Then we entered the creature apartment and saw the creepy Aragog then we entered the amazing  DIOGONALLY and we saw Olivander’s wand shop and Madam Malcums robe shop . 

Then we entered the drawing bit and we saw wooden models of some of the buildings. THEN… we entered a big black room then in front of our eyes is a model of… HOGWARTS. Then we entered a room with all of the people who made the Harry Potter. Then we entered the shop and had a few minutes to look to see if we wanted to buy anything. 

Then we left the experience and got back on the Harry Potter bus. We had to wait about 45 mins for a train from Watford Junction to Clapham Junction and then we had to wait another 25 mins to get another train from Clapham Junction to Streatham Common . We all arrived home safely at 11:24pm. It was a magical day that we will not forget.
