Experience the magic of the original filming locations within the Warner Bros. World, discover the magic behind the amazing special effects, and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter film series, where the production team preserved many of the iconic sets, props and costumes created specifically for the films, in case they were needed later in the series, and to display them so that Harry Potter fans can experience the magic of filmmaking firsthand.
The Studio Tour opened to visitors on March 31, 2012, offering them a unique opportunity to explore the sound studios and a backlot filled with original sets, animatronic creatures and stunning special effects.
Here you can explore the famous Hogwarts Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, board the original Hogwarts Express at Platform 9 ¾, fly on a broomstick, and enter Gringotts, the wizarding bank, all before wandering through Diagon Alley. The Studio Tour shows the British talent and artistry that went into creating the Wizarding World, where the making of Harry Potter in the 8-part film series was done.
Warner bros. studio tour
The Harry Potter Museum London tour is divided into several sections, each of which offers a unique glimpse into the making of the Harry Potter world. You can tour around the most famous locations in the wizarding world, especially inside the Warner Bros. studio, which allows you to see the world full of fantasy in a completely new way. The studio consists of several famous locations that have become important landmarks as they were the main pillar in filming the film series, including:
The Great Hall
Used as the background for some of the most famous scenes in the Harry Potter film series, such as the Yule Ball and the Battle of Hogwarts, it was built specifically for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2000 and has been used as a main filming location for 6 other films. Rich in detail and filled with floating candles, the stunning Great Hall features Hogwarts student uniforms and two large dinner tables. There is also a professor's table at the top of the room where Hogwarts professors once sat. The Great Hall is home to some beautiful handcrafted props specially created for the Harry Potter films, including Professor Dumbledore's lectern and a house point counter. You can begin your tour by entering the hall just as Harry Potter and his friends did in the films.
Forbidden Forest
The wonderful and strange location, the Forbidden Forest continued to grow throughout the film series, with landscape artists creating 600-foot-long backdrops during the filming of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. With trees over 12 feet in diameter and life-size creature sculptures, it's a favourite spot for many visitors who want to explore it during Warner Bros. Studio Tours.
Diagon Alley
It was modified during the 8 parts of the Harry Potter series, as the walls and shop fronts were moved, the buildings on the street were modified, and many of the pieces of this street were redesigned with rich details to suit the scenes to be filmed. Despite this, this alley is full of many eye-catching details that express the era in which the filming was taking place, in addition to the feeling that it gives you that you are walking on one of the streets of real old London. Do not forget to admire the intricate and eye-catching shop fronts while you are walking.
Platform 9 ¾
The Hogwarts locomotive has transported hundreds of students to and from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and has appeared in many scenes throughout the series. Most of the scenes on Platform 9 ¾ were actually filmed at King's Cross Station in London. The real locomotive was then used to create the exterior scenery of the train, and interior carriages built at the sound studios in Leavesden were used to film the scenes inside the train. Visual effects artists replaced the green screen backgrounds in the windows with animated backgrounds and special effects. Here you can relive the iconic platform scene and see the original Hogwarts Express engine, and don't forget to take a photo of yourself pushing a carriage across the magical barrier between platforms 9 and 10.
Gringotts Wizarding bank
It played an important role in the Harry Potter film series, including a grand banking hall surrounded by towering marble columns, decorated with three magnificent crystal chandeliers, real copper leaf, as well as tellers' offices featuring goblins with pens, inkwells, notebooks, and stacks of sailing ships and scythes. The prop department made more than 210,000 metal parts for only the last 2 parts of the series.
Professor Sprout’s Greenhouse
It’s a favourite location for Harry Potter fans, the Greenhouse is where students in the film were taught Herbology by teacher Pomona Sprout. It's home to many strange and magical plants, with plants that can magically move and just like a Hogwarts student, you can enter the greenhouse and stop to pull out a potted mandrake plant as part of an interactive display.
Hogwarts Castle
You can walk through the gates of Hogwarts Castle and immerse yourself in the world of magic, and you can also observe the intricate scale model used in the films that display the picturesque castle and the stunning landscape surrounding it.
In addition to the main attractions, Harry Potter Studios London offer a range of special features and events throughout the year, including exhibits that delve into specific aspects of the Harry Potter universe, seasonal events that allow visitors to experience the magic of the films in a different light, or behind-the-scenes experiences such as wand-making or special effects workshops.
