Marvel at the the incredible Great Hall

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter, provided by Golden Tours, is the most popular tour from Central London to go behind the scenes at the actual studio in Watford where the phenomenally successful Harry Potter films were made.

The studio tour is a walking tour of the huge number of fantastic wizarding sets, you know so well, including the Great Hall, Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Bridge and even the Platform 9 3/4 and the Hogwarts Express train!

 

In addition you will see hundreds of costumes, props and animatronics that bring to life the incredible skill and effort involved in creating the much loved films.

 

You will receive an individual timed entry on arrival at the Warner Bros. Studio for your self-guided tour, including a minimum of 3.5 hours inside the studio. Including your coach journey, the tour duration is normally 7 hours subject to traffic.
