We went to Warwick Castle which is very popular in England. This is a place that you get to see medieval demonstrations, explore towers and dungeons and walk the grounds of the very large castle. I don't know how to explain how this place looked. People everywhere that are dressed up in the era clothing, archery lessons, seeing bald eagles flying, sword fighting, story telling, and trebuchet show. There was never a dull moment. We started the day in a very warm day in the sunshine that quickly turned into a complete downpour! Everyone was running to cover and trying to stay as dry as they could under their raincoats and umbrellas. I stood under a tree with my umbrella in one hand and eating my hamburger in the other, watching everyone bustling around. I was glad that we were able to watch the Mighty Trebucet show in the sunshine! I explored the grounds and people watched. They had a section for birds and there were so many of them. I felt bad as they were either in a glassed cage or cuffed to a stand. I wanted to set them all free but they were beautiful. Inside the castle they had everything decorated and set up like it was being used- fake food, wax people and players going of conversations that would have taken place. It was neat and done up really well.

Oxford
That afternoon we had a tour of Oxford College and the area around it. As we toured we learned about the history of when the school was first built and soon learned that I will see a spot where Harry Potter was filmed for a scene. Yes, I was excited! We got to see the hall where the teachers ate along with some students. It was set up just like Harry Potter!
Below pictures are where the scene when MadEye Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret in Goblet of Fire.
