Inside, you can gaze at the stars and take a journey through space. You can also learn what latitude and longitude actually mean (does it get much geekier than that?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Harry Potter Studio Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"warner bros studio tour harry potter\" class=\"wp-image-4726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/evanevanstours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hogwarts-staircase.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the nerdy creations that came from the UK, Harry Potter has to be one of the most famous.
