The students were separated into the four Hogwarts houses, and we actually competed against each other for points throughout the class, whether it was for assignment creativity, showing up on time, or just for our knowledge of HP.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While on the trip, we had various papers assigned to reflect on the tourism we had experienced and some controversial topics regarding Harry Potter, such as Black Hermione in <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Cursed Child<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\">, gender representation in the books, and J.K.

We attended <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Cursed Child<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"none\"> as a class, went on a Harry Potter walking tour around London, made a day trip to Oxford to visit the University of Oxford and Christ Church, and visited many other sites related to the series.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1631\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_1780.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"341\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In our free time, we got to be tourists, explore the city, and try new foods! One of my favorite days of the trip was spontaneously walking around Parliament Square and seeing Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace all within a couple of hours and taking so\u2026 so many pictures. I also learned a vast amount about British history and culture as we visited places like The British Museum, Tower of London, and St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral. Staying in Covent Garden allowed most of our destinations to be very accessible, and some of my favorite areas we visited were Marylebone, Soho, and Camden.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1632\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_1231.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/>My highlight of the class was visiting the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Watford, where we got to see the original props, costumes, and sets from the film series.

For anyone who will soon be experiencing being abroad for the first time, like myself, my advice would be to try to adjust to the sleep schedule and time zone as quickly as possible (but yes, the first couple of days can be rough!) And make sure you are staying hydrated, eating well, and wearing comfortable (and warm) clothing and shoes.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1635\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_0202.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_0202.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_0202-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_0202-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/center-for-global-education\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/79\/2025\/02\/IMG_0202-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of my favorite things that I did was posting daily on a separate Instagram account for my family and friends to keep updated with my travels.
