The 11-and 12-year-old students of Queens' School in Bushey, England were summoned to hold their school assembly on the Harry Potter set at Warner Bros Studio Tour in London. The students gathered in the set's Great Hall, where class hasn't been "in session" since the series' filming.

"I can't believe we were actually there," one student said of the special day. "It's like we were a part of Hogwarts School. It was brilliant."
