Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter

A timed-entry behind-the-scenes tour in the soundstages where the Harry Potter films were made. Families walk through sets such as the Great Hall, Diagon Alley and the Gryffindor common room, see props and costumes up close, and take in creature effects and special effects displays. The Model Room houses the large scale model of Hogwarts castle used in the films, and the tour also includes an outdoor backlot walk, a Forbidden Forest area and a Butterbeer stop. Visitors can have a go at flying a broomstick in one of the interactive activities. The visit usually takes three to four hours, so it suits older children and younger ones who enjoy the films. Seasonal features such as a Hogwarts in the Snow display run at different times of the year. Tickets are timed and must be booked in advance on the venue's own website, and there is a studio shop at the end of the route.
