Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter (with transport)

The Sets
From the Great Hall , the Forbidden Forest is accessed through a gate guarded by masked Death Eaters, which leads directly to Aragog's lair. Other iconic sets include Platform 9¾ , with the Hogwarts Express in the background, from the first scene of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to the last scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2. One of the most exciting sections of the tour is Diagon Alley , home to Ollivander's ancient wand shop, with over 17,000 individually labeled wand boxes.

Professor Sprout's greenhouse opened permanently last year. Inside, students attended Herbology classes—watch out for the poisonous tentacles hanging from the ceiling! Admire magical and exotic plants and try your hand at extracting a potted mandrake, part of the interactive exhibit.

Animatronics
Meet the terrifying Basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets , created with a combination of practical and visual effects: its life-size mouth measures 30 feet, with 3-foot-deep jaws, and it can slide along a track to get close to Harry. You'll also find Buckbeak , the fan-favorite Hippogriff, who has had three versions: standing, rearing, and lying down, with each feather hand-glued!

The Art Department
During the tour, you'll admire the model of Hogwart's Castle , built by a team of 86 artists and enhanced with digital effects to create realistic and memorable views. With 2,500 fiber optic lights, real gravel, and plants, the model took approximately 74 years to complete, if all the hours were added together.

The potion manuals, acceptance letters, sweet packages, and the Daily Prophet were all designed and handcrafted, as were the potion bottles, which were carefully decorated.

Props
The number of original objects in the offices is impressive: from the Elder Wand to the Golden Snitch , there's something for everyone. The Potions classroom boasts over 950 unique jars, while Professor Dumbledore's office holds approximately 900 memory vials. Over 130 decorative plates were made for Professor Umbridge's pink office. The directors even filmed kittens with crystal balls and witches' hats: a truly unusual day at the office!

Special effects
Many special effects are real: the sliding door in the Chamber of Secrets actually works, as does the intricate door to Gringotts Bank. Green screens played a key role in creating the wizarding world, allowing, for example, the filming of Quidditch scenes. Why not try flying on a broomstick yourself?

Relax and Souvenirs
Cool off with a tasty Butterbeer , just like Harry, Ron and Hermione would at the Leaky Cauldron, and don't forget to visit the amazing souvenir shop.

This package includes round-trip transportation from central London and admission to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, so you don't have to worry about your journey. The luxury vehicles are equipped with free Wi-Fi and comfortable seats. During the journey, you can watch one of the official films on the in-seat screen, relaxing and preparing to enter the magical world of Harry Potter.
