Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - the Making of Harry Potter, provided by Evan Evans, will give you a chance to see up close the sets and props of the Harry Potter™ films. On this walking tour you will see familiar sets such as the Great Hall, Diagon Alley and even the Hogwarts Express train!
Evan Evans is one of three London tour operators that we feature (see menu, right) offering several coaches each day to the Harry Potter studios with packages that include entrance tickets.
With Warner Bros. Studio London tickets sold out often many weeks ahead it's often a matter of which operator still has tickets, rather than choosing one tour operator over another. The three tour companies often have better availability than buying the tickets direct too.

The tour itself is a walking tour that on average takes around four hours. The Making of Harry Potter is not a theme park and as such will not feature rides, or experiences of this nature.
The attraction will give visitors the first ever chance to go behind the scenes of the actual sets of the Harry Potter film series.
As well as the impressive sets, you will also discover hundreds of costumes, props and animatronics that bring to life the incredible skill and effort involved in creating the much loved films.
Only a small part of the Studio Tour is guided so you can take the tour at your own pace. Some parts of the tour are interactive and can be touched, some sections can be viewed and not touched.
Popular highlights include: Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Express, Forbidden Forest, Gringotts Bank, Dumbledore's Office, the Common Room, Weasley's home and Hagrid's hut.
The latest attraction to arrive at the Studio in 2019 was Gringotts Bank, a glittering spectacle of goblins and jewels - and a special effects mastery to finish.
To learn more about the sets and what the Studio is like in detail please see our page Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - what to expect.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter has put in place various safety measures which you need to be aware of when visiting.

Brand-new for 2022, Mandrakes and Magical Creatures will shine a spotlight on how your favourite creature effects were brought to life on screen.
Start your journey in the Great Hall watching the Frog Choir scene as seen in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, featuring the costume of conductor of the choir, Professor Flitwick, as worn by Warwick Davis.
During your tour you'll see plenty of magical creatures including as Cornish Pixies, Dumbledore’s beloved Fawkes and the animatronic Monster Book of Monsters can be spotted during your visit. In addition, you will learn how Thestrals and Mandrakes were brought to life using a mixture of scale models and CGI in the Creatures Workshop.
Professor Sprout’s greenhouse will now be open for the very first time! Step into the greenhouse, home to many exotic and magical plants, and stop to pull out a potted Mandrake as part of an interactive display.
Based on the scene in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you will recognise the Venomous Tentacula hanging from the ceiling as you walk through the greenhouse.
The ever-popular Dark Arts fest will return for Hallowe’en in 2022 with the Great Hall ceiling decorated with over 100 floating pumpkins, as well as a Halloween feast of lollipops and red apples dressed along the tables.
You can follow the Dark Mark trail, and even try your wand combat moves against Death Eaters in a live duel as they storm the Studio Tour.
Even Platform 9 ¾ and the terrific Diagon Alley become a little darker...
In 2019 the studio launched their latest expansion to the Studio - Gringotts Bank. A glittering exhibition featuring the magnificent banking hall, with crystal chandeliers and the goblin tellers’ desks as we remember them from the films, this one's not to be missed.
The detail extends to piles of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. You can even marvel at the painstakingly hand-created prosthetic masks of the goblin bankers.
In addition to the banking hall, you’ll also see the Lestrange vault, including the Sword of Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.
The exhibition is included with the normal entry ticket for The Making of Harry Potter.
You can find out about our experience of the exhibition by reading our blog on the Gringotts Bank expansion.
