What is there to see on a Harry Potter Studio Tour?

Fans of Harry Potter can rejoice, because there are tons of fantastic things to see on a Warner Bros. Studio Tour.

Explore Gringotts Wizarding Bank

See Gringotts Wizarding Bank, an age-old goblin banking institution, with a vast new expansion covering over 16.500 square feet!  With its towering marble pillars, grand banking hall and crystal chandeliers with real brass leaf; this is a must-see!

Step into the Forbidden Forest

For the first time ever, Professor Dumbledore has invited you to come into the Forbidden Forest; a forest that is warded off to Hogwarts students! Home to an abundance of creatures including Hippogriffs and Acromantula, be prepared for a nail-biting adventure.

Marvel at the Great Hall

Like all Hogwarts students, you will led through to the majestic Great Hall. Before you step inside, you will be treated to a welcome movie starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint who will make the introductions.

Go behind the scenes

See how the movies’ stunning costumes, animatronics and special effects were put together, including Arthur Weasley’s flying Ford Anglia and Molly Weasley’s magical kitchen gadgets. You can even see how flying broomsticks work - an essential tool for any witch or wizard.

Get on the Hogwarts Express

Visit Platform 9 ¾ and climb aboard the spectacular original Hogwarts Express steam train, complete with the carriage where Harry first met Ron and Hermione.

Shop in Diagon Alley

Step onto the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring Ollivanders Wand Shop, Flourish and Blotts, Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes and Gringotts.

See iconic props

Lay eyes on Harry’s Nimbus 2000, Hagrid’s motorcycle and the wands of all your favourite (and least favourite!) characters.

Discover Hogwarts
