The pregnant Duchess, her husband, and her brother-in-law visited the Warner Bros Studios Leavesden in London today and saw plenty of movie memorabilia. Kate, William and Harry all got the chance to hold Harry Potter wands and even get to see Batman's suit and vehicles from the Dark Knight trilogy. The six-months-pregnant Duchess showed off her growing baby bump in a polka dot dress as she and the Princes toured the exhibits with over 500 hundred children and their parents. This trip mainly served as great photo opportunities.
The royal trio was shown around some Harry Potter sets including the Gryffindor Common Room of Hogwarts. Kate and William were taught a few "spell techniques" by the tour instructor Scott Heron. The parents-to-be then faced off against a group of children called "Dumbledore's Army." At one point, the 30-year-old Prince cast a disarming spell, yelling "Expelliarmus" at the children. He later admitted to never reading the books, but said he enjoyed all of the films. Kate has read the books, however, and asked several of the children, "The films are good and the books are great, aren't they?"
While the others were dueling with the children, Prince Harry was busy looking around The Burrow, which was the home of the Weasleys in the films. Perhaps the redheaded royal felt a little more at home there? (I had to say it!)
Before moving onto the next exhibit, the three members of the British royalty were given hand-carved wands of their own.
They then moved onto the Batman exhibit featuring props from The Dark Knight franchise. William and Harry spotted the batmobile, to which William nudged his brother and joked, "We should borrow that for the weekend."
William then got to sit in the Batmobile as well as the Batpod. With excitement he said, "I'm over the moon just to have seen the real Batmobile and Batpod. You don't have baby seats for those cars, do you, by any chance?" The second in line to the throne joked. "On the other hand Harry's just excited to see a real-life talking owl in the Harry Potter studios. I haven't told him yet that Harry Potter is fictional, so please keep the secret for a little longer."
