Taking a Harry Potter Studio Tour in London: Everything You Need to Know
Last updated: July 21, 2024 . Written by Laurence Norah - 24 Comments
If you’re a Harry Potter fan visiting the UK, the chances are high that you want to take the Harry Potter Studio Tour near London. This tour, of the Warner Bros. Studio where the majority of the films were shot, is a fascinating experience, and well worth doing even if you’re not a Harry Potter fan.
You can visit places like the Great Hall, the railway station, various filming locations from inside Hogwarts, the Forbidden Forest, and even Diagon Alley.
![studios tour london Harry Potter Studio Tour - Common Room](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Common-Room_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
As well as visiting the film sets, you will also learn all about how the films were made, see many of the props from the movies, get to participate in some green screen magic, have the opportunity to try Butterbeer, and of course, buy all the Harry Potter merchandise you can imagine!
Jess and I have been lucky enough to visit the Harry Potter Studios a number of times over the years, and we’ve always had a great time. In this guide we’re going to go through everything you need to know to visit the Harry Potter Studios, based on our personal experiences.

We’ll include information on how to get there, how to get tickets, information for making the most of your day, and lots more! Let’s get started by answering some questions you may have.
Table of Contents:
Where Was Harry Potter Filmed?
Harry Potter was filmed all across the UK, at real world locations such as Glenfinnan Viaduct, Alnwick Castle, Glencoe in Scotland and Leadenhall Market in London .
See our full guide to Harry Potter filming locations in the UK for more – we’ve visited nearly all the real-world filming locations across the UK as well as the studio itself!
The interior sets and the majority of the rest of the films were shot at the Warner Bros. Studio in Leavesden, just outside London.

Where is the Harry Potter Studio Tour?
The Harry Potter Studio Tour takes place in the Warner Bros. Studio, which is found in Leavesden, England. This is around 20 miles northwest of London.

For more information on accessibility and any other needs you have, please visit the accessibility section of the official website.
How to Get to the Harry Potter Studio Tour
You have two major options for getting to the Harry Potter Studio Tour – you can take a tour which includes your transport, or you can make your own way there using either public transport or a car.
We’ll go through both of these options so you can make the right decision as to which is going to be best for you.
Certainly, the easiest option for getting to the Harry Potter Studios is to take a tour which includes your return transport.
These tours leave from various locations around London (and other parts of the UK), and included in the price of your tour will be pre-booked timed entry to the Studio Tour and return transport to and from a pick-up point.
Note that most tours do not include a guide inside the experience as it is largely self-guided.
However, you can book a tour, such as this one , which does include a guide for the time inside the studio as well. When choosing tours, do check how long they give you at the studio. You will generally want a minimum of three hours, although you might find four hours will be more suitable if you want to experience everything.
Some options include:
- A slightly longer tour giving you 4 hours at the studio, with departure from Kings Cross Station, London
- Another tour with departure from Victoria Coach Station in London
- This is a fully guided tour which includes return transport and a guide throughout the experience.
- This tour of the Harry Potter studios , which includes return transport from central London hotels
- If you want to do more on your day, this tour includes a tour of Oxford as well as the Studios , with departures from Great Portland Street, London
- This tour , with one of our favorite walking tour companies Take Walks includes a short walking tour of central London (including some Harry Potter filming locations in London ), followed by round trip transport to the studio and entry to the Studio Tour for four hours. We’ve done this tour and it is a good option although does make for a full day.
As you can see, there are lots of options! We’ve got more on all of these in the section below on how to buy your tickets for the Studio Tour.
![studios tour london Hagrid Hut interior](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Hagrid-Hut-interior_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
By Public Transport
From central London, it’s fairly easy to get to the Harry Potter Studios by public transport. You will take the train from Euston Station to Watford Junction.
Then you need to take a dedicated shuttle bus operated by the Studio Tour that runs from just outside Watford Junction Station (it is well sign posted), that takes you directly to the studios.
![studios tour london Bus to Warner Bros Studio Tour](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Bus-to-Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
For the train, you can either buy your tickets in advance here , or you can pay on the day using a contactless or Oyster card. This will require you to tap in and tap out using the yellow card readers. Note that Oyster cards and contactless cards do not work beyond Watford Junction, so don’t go any further than this.
See our guide to buying and using the Oyster card in London , and our guide to paying for public transport in London for more information on using these forms of payment for travel in and around London.
For the shuttle bus, this is included in the price of your entry ticket. To board the bus you will need to have a valid pre-purchased ticket to the Harry Potter Studios, or proof of a ticket booking confirmation (printed or on your phone).
Getting to the Harry Potter Studios by car is relatively easy. Depending on the time of day, exact departure location and traffic, the drive from central London takes around an hour to ninety minutes.
From Oxford it’s around an hour, and it’s around two hours from Birmingham. Visitors with valid pre-purchased Studio tickets can take advantage of free parking on site. Note you cannot enter the parking area without a valid ticket or booking confirmation for that day.
Where to Buy Harry Potter Studio Tour Tickets
If you are making your own way to the Harry Potter studios, you have to buy your ticket in advance from the official website . You cannot turn up without a ticket, and tickets are not for sale on site.
Tickets go on sale well in advance, but despite the site having capacity for up to 6,000 people a day, they tend to sell out far in advance, so you will want to plan as far ahead as possible.
The summer months, weekends, and school holidays are the busiest days of the year for the Studio so we recommend that you book as far in advance as you can if you are visiting over those periods.
Weekdays often have better availability, so if you are flexible, look at different days of the week to maximise your chances of getting a ticket.
![studios tour london Buckbeak](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Buckbeak_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
Tickets are for timed entry, which helps the studios manage visitor numbers throughout the day. Whilst there is no limit to how long you can stay after you enter, you do need to enter the attraction at the time you book. There is a little bit of flexibility in this, but it’s best not to show up hours later than your time to avoid disappointment.
The WB Studios Tour folks recommend you arrive at the site at least 20 minutes before your ticket time so you can go through the security checks.
If you can’t buy a ticket from the official site, don’t worry, you still have lots of options.
First, you can opt to take a tour with a tour company, as these have a different ticket allocation system. Whilst this will be slightly more expensive, at least you will still be able to go, and it will include transport as well. See here for some of the tour options available, and here for even more !
Another option is to book a Deluxe Tour, which includes a two-hour guided tour of the studios, a photo package, a hot meal, butterbeer, souvenir guidebook and special designated parking. Following the guided tour, you are free to explore yourself. As Deluxe Tours are more expensive, they tend to have better availability.
![studios tour london Broomstick training](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Broomstick-training_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
Deluxe Tours can be booked directly with the Studios, subject to availability, on the official site here .
How Long Does the Harry Potter Studio Tour take?
The regular tour itself is self-guided, other than an introduction at the beginning, so you can take as long as you like to wander the studios.
The average length of a visit is around three and a half hours, and that is what the studio estimates most people will take and forecast their capacity around.
![studios tour london Dumbledores office](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Dumbledores-office_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
This is also about the amount of time that most tour companies will give you, although some offer a bit more time on site, so if you think you will need more time, be sure to pick a tour company that offers more time.
Is Food Available at the Harry Potter Studio Tour?
Yes, there are multiple options for food at the Harry Potter tour. These are as follows:
- The Chocolate Frog Cafe – serves drinks and cakes all day, found in the main lobby area
- The Food Hall – a large restaurant with various food options such as pizzas and burgers. Found in the main lobby area
- The Backlot Cafe – found half way through the Studio Tour, serving hot dogs, burgers. Also the only place to get a draft butterbeer as well as butterbeer icecream.
- The Hub Cafe – another cafe option which serves Starbucks hot and cold drinks as well as bakery snacks
There is also the option to book a Harry Potter themed afternoon tea at the Harry Potter Studio Tour when booking your studio tour tickets. This is served in a special section of the Food Hall. This is only available to holders of Studio Tour tickets.
The afternoon tea lasts up to 90 minutes and includes everything you would expect from an afternoon tea including sandwiches, sweet treats, scones, and tea or coffee.
![studios tour london Harry Potter Studio Tour by Laurence Norah-6](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Harry-Potter-Studio-Tour-by-Laurence-Norah-5-scaled.jpg)
Is there a Gift Shop at the Harry Potter Studio Tour?
There most certainly is a gift shop at the Harry Potter Studio Tour, as you would expect! In fact, there’s more than one. So, if you are planning on shopping for Harry Potter themed merchandise, you have a few options.
First, there’s a massive gift shop at the exit of the tour, which you can also visit prior to starting your tour. This shop is divided into multiple themed areas and is well worth exploring even if you don’t plan on purchasing anything as it’s so well themed.
![studios tour london Harry Potter Studio Tour by Laurence Norah-23](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Harry-Potter-Studio-Tour-by-Laurence-Norah-23.jpg)
There’s also the Railway Shop, which is found by the Platform 9 3/4 installation in the tour.
This has specific railway themed items that you won’t find anywhere else, so is worth checking out.

Where to Stay Near the Harry Potter Studios
The majority of visitors to the Harry Potter Studios visit from London as a day trip, and choose a hotel in London. If you go down this route, you might want to consider a hotel that makes it easier to get to the studios, be that by public transport or on one of the tours.
We’ve suggested some options below, as well as some hotels near the Studios themselves if you want to be really close.
Note that hotels in London are relatively expensive, especially those located near major attractions, and rooms aren’t always huge. However, we’ve picked what we think are a good choice for you.
We also recommend reading our guide to where to stay in London for some suggested options across all budgets.
Hotels near London Victoria train station (where most bus tours depart)
- Comfort Inn Buckingham Palace Road – great value 3* property just 5 minutes walk from London Victoria train station
- The Resident Hotel – well reviewed 4* property, five minutes from London Victoria.
- Lime Tree Hotel – A well reviewed boutique hotel, around nine minutes walk from London Victoria
- Walrus Bar and Hostel – it’s not too close to London Victoria (15-20 minutes by public transport, or a 35 minute walk), but it’s very central and is a great budget option for London in general
Hotels near Euston train station (for the train)
- YHA London St. Pancras – a good value budget option a short walk from both Euston and Kings Cross stations. Offers both private and dormitory style rooms
- Comfort Inn and Suites King Cross – a great mid-range option, with all rooms coming with a kitchenette
- Point A Hotels – comfortable, cosy rooms, part of the well rated budget-friendly Point A hotel chain
- Radisson Blu Edwardian – luxury, boutique accommodation, a short walk from Euston station
Hotels near the Harry Potter Studios
- Mercure London – one of the closest hotels to the actual studios, this would be a good option if you are driving and want to be as close as possible
- Holiday Inn Express London – right next to Watford Junction, this mid-range and well reviewed property is convenient for both trains to London, and for the studio shuttle
- Jurys Inn London Watford – another great mid-range option, just a short walk from Watford Junction train station
Our Harry Potter Studio Tour Review and Experience
Now for the fun stuff! Although, if you want your visit to be a surprise, you might want to skip this section, as you now have everything you need to know in order to visit.
Still, if you want an idea of what to expect from your visit, read on, and we’ll share our own experiences of visiting the Harry Potter Studios! We have actually visited a few times over the years, both via a tour and using our own transport, and well talk about that a bit as well.
The first time we visited the studios we came from central London, taking the train to Watford Junction and the Shuttle Bus to the studio. If you are visiting from London and not taking a tour, this is definitely our recommended option over taking a car as it will be quicker and easier.
Note that you can use an Oyster card to travel to Watford Junction from central London, this is as far as you can go with Oyster card.
When we visited there was a fee for the shuttle bus, but this is now included in the price of the ticket. The train was easy, and the shuttle bus departure point was well marked just outside the train station.
We pre-booked our tickets on the official website, so with our email booking confirmation we picked up our tickets from the kiosks. They have both staffed ticket windows and automatic kiosks – both work!
Once we had our ticket, which had our entry time on it, we went through security and joined the line for entry.
On another visit to the Harry Potter Studio we took a tour from central London to compare the experience. We specifically took this tour . When we took the tour it included a short sightseeing tour of central London with a serious Harry Potter fan.
He even had a first edition copy of the book for us to see! Whilst this walking tour wasn’t specific to Harry Potter locations in London , it did include some interesting Harry Potter trivia as well as lot of information about central London sights.
Whilst getting to the studio ourselves was easy enough, obviously having a bus take us directly to and from the studio from central London did make things even easier. However, as it wasn’t a guided tour, once we were on site the experience was the same as visiting ourselves.
![studios tour london Warner Bros Studio Tour Entrance](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
Regardless of whether or not you visit the Studio as part of a tour or get there on your own, the experience on site is going to be largely the same, unless you book one of the specific fully guided tours like this .
All entries for the Harry Potter Studio Tour are timed, so you have to wait in line, as they let each group in all together.
Prior to entry you can also visit the information desk to rent an audio guide if you want. You can also pick up a free Harry Potter passport which you can stamp as you go round, and there’s also a cloakroom to leave any coats or small bags.
![studios tour london Harry Potter Studio Tour by Laurence Norah-3](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Harry-Potter-Studio-Tour-by-Laurence-Norah-3.jpg)
Then, join the actual line. Waiting in line is made fun, as the line has the cupboard under the stairs set right next to it, meaning you can start getting excited about your upcoming adventure straight away (and start taking pictures!).
At the time of our entry, we were all ushered into a large waiting room with a series of screens around the walls and given a brief introduction as to what we might expect.
We then went into a cinema where some of the key cast members shared their thoughts. Then, the cinema screen rolled away, revealing a giant wooden door before us. Here, a guide welcomed us, and prepared us for our journey.
![studios tour london Cupboard under the stairs](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Cupboard-under-the-stairs_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
The Great Hall and Beyond
After our introduction, the massive wooden doors we were standing in front of opened, and the Great Hall was revealed. I have to say, this was pretty amazing, to be able to step into the world of Harry Potter. The Great Hall set was used as the Great Hall for six of the films, with many scenes shot here.
![studios tour london Great Hall Hogwarts](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Great-Hall-Hogwarts_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
It certainly felt like the most complete of the sets we visited, as it was totally immersive and all around us, and was quite an experience.
From the Great Hall we were essentially allowed to continue on our own into the first half of the tour building. This had so much to see that I won’t go into it all here.
To give you an idea though, you can do everything from practice your wand waving through to seeing the Womping Willow in action through to visiting the potions laboratory, meeting Buckbeak, hanging out on Platform 9 3/4, and wandering around the Forbidden Forest!
![studios tour london Platform 9 3/4 Warner Bros Studio Tour](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Platform-9-3-4-Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour_by_Laurence-Norah-2.jpg)
Food and Butterbeer
Around halfway through the tour, you come to the Backlot Cafe. This serves hot and cold food, as well as that famous drink – Butterbeer!
This is a non-alcoholic beverage that tastes sort of like a mix of marshmallows and popcorn. It is definitely a must-try when visiting! We can also recommend the Butterbeer icecream which is very good.
The first time we visited the studio tour, the butterbeer was served in a plastic cup, which wasn’t very exciting. However, since then you now get a plastic tankard, which you get to keep as a souvenir, which is pretty cool.
We can also recommend the Butterbeer flight, which on our last visit included butterbeer, butterbeer ice-cream and a butterbeer muffin.
![studios tour london Butterbeer](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Butterbeer_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
You don’t have to eat here, as there are other dining options on site, including the Studio Cafe. However, if you want to try Butterbeer, the Backlot Cafe is the place to do it.
Privet Drive and the Night Bus
Once you’ve finished your butterbeer experience, it’s time to head outside to Privet Drive! Here you can see the house where Harry grew up, as well as a number of other fairly large props and sets, including the Knight Bus and the bridge that led across the ravine outside Hogwarts.
![studios tour london Knight Bus](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Knight-Bus_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
This is the only outside part of the tour, and it isn’t a huge area, although if the weather isn’t great you might want a waterproof jacket to enjoy this part of the tour.
Gringotts Bank, Diagon Alley and the Last of the Tour
After seeing the exterior part of the tour, you enter the final part of the tour. Don’t worry though, you’re only really halfway though – there’s loads to see still!
From here you’re going to see a lot of the props and costumes, as well as detailed information on how these were created, and the work that went into them.
![studios tour london Diagon Alley](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Diagon-Alley_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
You’re also going to have the opportunity to walk through Gringotts Bank, meet a dragon, walk right down Diagon Alley, and see such locations as Ollivander’s Wand Shop!
![studios tour london Harry Potter Studio Tour by Laurence Norah-20](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Harry-Potter-Studio-Tour-by-Laurence-Norah-20-scaled.jpg)
Finally, and perhaps most impressively, you come to the 1:24 scale model of Hogwarts itself.
This is a massive construction that fills a whole room, and is truly spectacular. You can also watch videos to see how the model was used and digitally merged into the final films, which is very impressive.
Once you’re done with all the above, you pop out into the shop, where you can buy pretty much any Harry Potter merchandise you can imagine!
![studios tour london Harry Potter Studio Tour Props](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Harry-Potter-Studio-Tour-Props_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
Tips for Visiting the Harry Potter Studio
Based on our experiences visiting the Harry Potter Studio in London, we’ve put together the following tips to help you plan your visit and maximise your time.
Decide how you want to visit
As described earlier in detail, you have a number of options for visiting the Harry Potter Studios, although depending on ticket availability, you might not always have every option. However, the main options are:
- Book a standard tour and plan your own transport, either by train/shuttle or car
- Book a deluxe tour and plan your own transport, either by train/shuttle or car
- Book a tour that includes transport and entry like this
Whichever you choose to go for, you will definitely have a great time!
Book your tickets in advance
We can’t emphasize this enough – tickets are not available on site – you have to book in advance . If you’re travelling independently, you can do that through the official site .
If tickets are not available through the official site for the time you want to visit, or you’d rather let someone else handle your transport, here is a good selection of tours to choose from , and here are some more options .
Plan your time
The average visit time is three and a half hours, so make sure you give yourself at least this much time on site. Don’t forget there’s food on-site as well as a massive gift shop, so you’ll want to factor time in for these activities too. Some fans can easily spend 4 or 5 hours here.
If you plan on having afternoon tea, you’ll need to add in at least an extra 90 minutes for that as well.
Whilst the majority of tours that include transport give you at least three hours on site, some allow for longer visits, so make sure to book the right tour for you. There is a lot to do and see on site, so more time can definitely be put to good use and you don’t want to feel rushed!
![studios tour london studios tour london](https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Platform-9-3-4-Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour_by_Laurence-Norah.jpg)
One of the best parts of visiting the Harry Potter Studios is just how interactive the experience can be. Whilst it’s certainly not a theme park, there’s a lot to do, from pushing your own trolley through the wall at platform 9 3/4 through to riding and summoning your own broomstick! There are also multiple photo opportunities throughout.
Some of these experiences will have a short queue, but due to the timed system for entry, these will never be too long.
Many visitors also come in full Harry Potter outfits, so don’t be afraid to dress up and get into the swing of things. You won’t be alone, and it adds to the experience for many people!

what an amazing detailed blog. really helped me understand and plan the trip. I am booked for 1st October 5:30 as didn’t get any other day or time slot on the website,, do you think I should look at going through a tour agent to get more time in the day time or evening is fine? hoping there will be no issues in taking public transport while coming back. we will be staying in Westminster.

Thanks very much! So I think you will be fine. On the 1st October it looks like the studio tour doesn’t close until 10pm, and I would say that 4.5 hours should be more than enough. The last bus to the station leaves at 10pm, so just be sure to be on that. In terms of trains, looking at the West Midlands train timetables, the last train on a Sunday back to central London is at quarter to 1 in the morning, so I think you will be fine.
Enjoy your visit!

I just finished reading your post about taking a Harry Potter studio tour and I have to say it was incredibly informative and enjoyable to read! You provided a lot of helpful information for anyone planning on taking a tour, from practical tips on transportation and timing to advice on how to make the most out of the experience.
One of the things I really appreciated about your post was how you made it clear that the tour is not just for die-hard Harry Potter fans. Even for those who have only seen the movies, the tour can be a fascinating and immersive experience. I also liked how you emphasized the importance of taking your time and really exploring each exhibit and set, rather than rushing through them.

I particularly appreciate the way you organized your post into different sections, making it easy for readers to find the information they need. Your advice about booking tickets in advance and arriving early is spot on – it’s definitely worth taking those extra steps to avoid long lines and ensure the best possible experience.
Your photos are also amazing and really bring the tour to life. It’s wonderful to see all the different sets and props up close and your photos do a great job of capturing the intricate details that went into creating them.

My family live on the wirral it would take us about 3 1/ 2 hrs to get there with the price of fuel costly then the stay overnight in the hotel with bed and breakfast. Your outstanding entry price for an adult £48 Kids price extortionate my granddaughter is 8yrs old obsessed with Harry Potter reads the books loves the films she is desperate to come on the studio tour but can’t justify you outrageous prices. And then we have to pay for fuel to travel back. I am registered disabled but not in a wheelchair. My husband is my carer we are also pensioners do you honestly expect a disabled person to pay £48 to get in while OK my carer is free surely you should have compensation for the disabled person. As it stands we have to keep letting the 8yr old down as we can’t afford your prices. Then the added extras for the bus etc. I would ask you to see if you could establish a different rate for children under 10 and the disabled pensioner please as we would bring her but out of our pension we cannot afford your cost. Hope you take into account what I have said. Underprivileged children should be catered for I know.you have to make your money but at the cost of a child. Shame on you. My granddaughter may never get to see it now.xc

Thanks for your message! So to be clear, this website is not associated with the Warner Bros Studio or Harry Potter tour. It’s just a guide to visiting. If you want to reach out to them directly, you’ll need to do so via their website. Their contact information can be found here: https://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk/contact-us/
All the best,

Can I take photos throughout the tour ?
23rd July 2021 at 7:02 pm
Yep photography is permitted pretty much everywhere in the Harry Potter studio tour. There are a few exceptions – you can’t do photography in the pre-show cinema, or in the green screen areas. You also can’t use a tripod.
Have a great visit, and let me know if you have any more questions!
13th October 2019 at 4:38 am
Hello! I am so excited to have found your blog. I plan to read the entire london portion. I booked tickets to the studio for 1/1. I thought it would be a fun way to start the new year. Now I am wondering if it will be a problem to get to the studio. TfL site states train will be running on a sunday schedule. How much extra travel time should we think about? Our tix are for 1230p. We are staying by the waterloo station. Thank you for your amazing insights!
13th October 2019 at 3:25 pm
Thanks very much, I’m sure you’ll have an amazing time.
For the trains, all you’d have to do is check the timetables for a Sunday and this should give you an idea of how much time you will need 🙂 You shouldn’t have to worry too much I don’t think, 1230 should give you plenty of time to get there! Have a wonderful time!

Hi thank you for this it is so useful especially for first timers like me. My concern is on the age, in the studios website it says below 16 must be accompanied by adults. I am thinking of sending my 15 and 13 yr old kids on their own. Would this be possible if I take a guided tour instead? Many thanks Nurika
27th September 2019 at 7:02 pm
Unfortunately the policy is that all children must be accompanied by an adult, even on the guided tours
26th September 2019 at 7:33 am
Thank you for you site and sharing some great information!! It is just awesome!!
Would you happen to know the difference between the Studio’s VIP tour and the Fully-Guided Making of Harry Potter Tour. Looks like the Fully-Guided might have a couple more stops?
26th September 2019 at 10:49 pm
So the VIP tour (I guess you mean the Deluxe tour?) includes a few extras like butterbeer, souvenir photo, meal and guidebook. So quite a few extras. The fully guided tour includes the tour, but I believe it’s the same actual tour as the Deluxe tour, just without the extras. Of course, it also include round trip transport from London as well.
So it’s more about if you want the extras or not, or if you prefer the transport.
Have an amazing time, whichever you go for!

Wow! What lovely immersive writing, and lots of fine fine details. A pleasure to read. I’m so glad I stumbled on to this blog. My search is over. Have bookmarked it. Going to follow it faithfully for our first-time holiday to London + Scotland this month. The fully guided tour seems to be the best of the lot as it probably gives you the maximum time possible to spend at the studio (I hope). By the way, tickets are sold out on the official site. Thank you so much, Abraham
3rd May 2019 at 4:39 pm
Hi Abraham – my pleasure, and I hope you have a wonderful tour. For sure, the tours are very popular so they sell out far in advance on the official website, but there are a number of other ways to get a trip, so I hope you are able to visit still 🙂
27th March 2019 at 7:48 pm
Hi can i ask the extra activities you mentioned are they free or do I need to account for extra spending money Regard emma
27th March 2019 at 7:59 pm
So the activities like the wand workshop, broomstick summoning and other interactive things like that are included. The only thing you would need money for is the giftshop, or if you want to eat or try butter beer. For the green screen broomstick flying experience, where you are filmed on a broomstick against a green screen, that is an extra price as you get the experience as photos or a DVD. There are also some other opportunities to buy photos through the tour, but these are of course optional 🙂
Have a wonderful time!

Excellent information! I’ve been to the WB Harry Potter Studios twice (2015, 2017), and you really covered everything in accurate detail.
One tiny error though it probably won’t confuse anyone: You wrote “Then you need to take a dedicated shuttle bus operated by the Studio Tour that runs from just outside Euston Station (it is well sign posted), that takes you directly to the studios.” I believe you meant “Watford Junction Station” instead of “Euston Station” in that sentence.
Thanks for your terrific work on the entire site. A colleague of mine sent me a link to it knowing I have led student/parent groups to London. I’ve enjoyed digging into it!
13th March 2019 at 5:00 pm
Thanks so much for your comment! We loved visiting and writing this post was a real pleasure 🙂 Thanks also for spotting that error – I’ve fixed it now 🙂
Thanks again!

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

Price & Hours

- Atmosphere 4.5
U.S. News Insider Tip: Pick an early tour time and explore slowly. There is so much to see that you may miss small details if you go too quickly. And don't worry about time. Once you're inside, you can stay as long as you like (well, until closing). – Marisa Méndez, Senior Editor
Located at the studios where all eight of the "Harry Potter" films were produced, this is a must for anyone wanting to learn more about the Wizarding World. Visitors can view original film sets – from the Great Hall to Gringotts, Diagon Alley to the Gryffindor Common Room – with hundreds of original props and costumes to browse. Glimpse the model used for Hogwarts Castle, learn about Hagrid's animatronic head, visit Platform 9 ¾ and board the Hogwarts Express; this is a comprehensive, interactive tour for the whole family that's well worth adding to your London bucket list.
Recent visitors praised the tour and many said it exceeded their expectations, offering an excellent glimpse into all things Harry Potter with plenty to see (many spent at least three hours exploring the various exhibits). Several travelers mentioned it can get busy, with long lines for the shuttle bus, and some also noted that extras at the shop, cafe and restaurants can be expensive. Visitors were unanimous in saying it was worth the effort, though.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London is located in Leavesden. Trains depart from London Euston to Watford Junction station and take 20 minutes; from there shuttle buses run every 30 minutes, and take 15 minutes (this is included with your entry ticket).
The studio is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. (the first tour begins at 9 a.m., and the last is at 6:30 p.m.).
Admission costs start at 53.50 pounds (about $67) for anyone 16 and older and 43 pounds (about $54) for children age 5 to 15. Advance booking is essential. Find out more and book on the website .

#1 Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace, King Charles III's London home, is open for touring (except for the king's private quarters, of course) from July to October. On the tour, you'll have access to the 19 State Rooms where the king and members of the royal family host guests for state, ceremonial and official affairs. Opulently accented with chandeliers, candelabras, paintings by Van Dyck and Canaletto, and exquisite English and French furniture, these rooms display some of the most magnificent pieces from the Royal Collection. Along with the grand interiors, the State Rooms, where kings and queens have entertained guests on both official and ceremonial occasions, are also a witness to history. Those who followed the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton closely will recognize the Throne Room, which served as the backdrop for the pair's official wedding photographs.
For tours in the summer, recent travelers suggested taking advantage of the multimedia guide (included with admission and available in multiple languages), so that you hear a detailed history of each room at your own pace. The palace advises you set aside at least two hours to see the State Rooms (and that you wear comfortable shoes), while recent travelers advised that you use the facilities prior to the start of the tour; there are no public restrooms available until you reach the garden. Except in the Garden Café, no food or drinks (except bottled water) are permitted in the palace.

Fact: In my entire life, I’ve only cried once at a tourist attraction.
And judge me all you want, but this cryfest happened at a Harry Potter studio tour.
… Allow me to explain myself.
Like most children born in the 90s, much of my youth was spent daydreaming about the arrival of my Hogwart’s acceptance letter. As this dream dwindled with the hardships of adulting, I instead took comfort in carbs and magical movie marathons.
But, it didn’t take much for these childhood dreams to resurface. A trip to London was all it took to re-open the floodgates (literally).
Let me tell you: for a Harry Potter fan, there is no attraction on this Earth more overwhelming and amazing than the Warner Bros Studio Tour London, (AKA London’s Harry Potter set tour), which brings you through the filming site for all 8 movies in the Harry Potter franchise.
In addition to sets, you’re also shown countless props, the best gift shop in the world, and even a chance to taste butter beer for yourself. Come on now, is it at all a surprise that I bawled when I got to the end?
Read onwards for important info to know about the tour, some tips to keep in mind and of course, a recap of the experience (with plenty of photos!) Be careful for this section, as spoilers are abound!
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Harry-Potter-Set-Tour.jpg)
PS: Check out my full list of Harry Potter themed attractions and experiences in London for more nerdy goodness.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0809.jpg)
Basic information to know about the Harry Potter Set Tour
If you’re interested in booking the epic Warner Bros Studio Tour in London for yourself, then here are some basic must-knows.
Harry Potter Studio Tour Tickets Info:
I first visited this attraction in 2014 and it was a hot mess then, and has only grown in popularity in the past few years.
If this Harry Potter set tour is a must-do for you, then make sure you book your tickets WELL in advance or you risk not being able to go!
Luckily, even when tickets are sold out on the main site, there are tours you can book online that will have tickets available for sold out dates.
Sometimes, booking with a tour is worthwhile because you not only guarantee your tickets, you also get the convenience of private transport there, which is nice and much less stressful than using public transport yourself.
Here is a breakdown of different Harry Potter Studio tour options that include transport. For your convenience, I also lay out their costs and what they have to offer:
Tickets can also be purchased online from the studio itself here.
How to Get to the Warner Bros Studio Tour in London:
Despite its name, the Warner Bros Studio London is actually located in Leavesden, which is northwest of London.
While booking a tour/private transport is the easiest and most convenient way to get there, it is still quite painless to reach via public transit, as a shuttle bus runs from Watford Junction railway station.
To get to the Watford Junction station, you need to make use of London’s overground system.
Not sure about the best route to get there? Check out this handy trip planner . The tour’s website recommends that you arrive at Watford Junction 45 minutes prior to your tour time.
Remember to bring change, as the cost for the shuttle bus is 2 pounds each way.
NOTE : Leave a lot of leeway for you to get there. We definitely got lost a few times due to the transfers, and were stressed to the max! For a more stress-free experience, consider prebooking a tour that comes with transport. Here’s one for under $100USD.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0806.jpg)
Tips for Doing the Harry Potter Set Tour Like a Pro
Having addressed the basics, here are some tips you should keep in mind when planning your visit:
1. Check on the Warner Bros Studio Tour website for special events
The studio tour often has special weeks during which there are specialized displays or demonstrations.
If you have quite some time in London, I suggest looking up when special events are happening and to plan accordingly.
I was luckily around for the beginning of Wand Week, so I got to see wandmakers do their thing and I even got to pose with some Death Eaters. Super cool!
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0798.jpg)
2. Allow extra time for travel
Especially if you are new to London, trying to navigate the transit there can take time, so give yourself plenty of time to arrive at the studio.
That being said, do not hyperventilate if your ticketed time is fast approaching. While the reservation system does assign you a time, they won’t turn you away if you are a bit late.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0802-1.jpg)
3. Don’t forget to print your Warner Bros Studio Tour ticket
This will make the whole process smoother.
One girl that came with us didn’t print hers and upon arrival, she realized that her order never actually went through.
Luckily, even though they claim there is no box office at the attraction, she was able to purchase a ticket there, but do book in advance to save yourself the trouble.
4. Set yourself a budget for magical souvenirs
Trust me, when you enter the Harry Potter Studio Tour Shop for the first time, you will lose all sense of self control.
You will suddenly want all these things that you would never need.
Legit wizard robe? Okay!
Replica wand? Yes please.
There are so many amazingly crafted souvenirs for sale that you will easily empty your wallet.
For budget-conscious backpackers (like me) or large families with crying children, setting a budget beforehand is a must.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0877.jpg)
5. Grab yourself a free Warner Bros Studio Tour London passport
At some point during the tour, you might notice children getting awesome embossed stamps on a Harry Potter passport.
Uh, yeah, those are actually not just for kids!
I shamelessly (and sweetly) asked a staff member for one, and they kindly obliged.
Getting the stamps is fun and having a Harry Potter passport is pretty much the best souvenir ever.
6. Be sure to check out other Harry Potter filming locations around the UK too
If you’ve made it all the way to Leavesden, you’re actually pretty close to a variety of other Harry Potter filming locations!
While this set tour is of course incredible, there are dozens of other real-life filming locations scattered around the UK that you can visit for yourself. Click here for a full list.

Harry Potter Set Tour Recap with Photos
With those tips out of the way, I’d love to show you some photos and a brief overview of the experience from my visit in 2014. Note that they have added a lot since then, but still…
WARNING: spoilers, spoilers, spoilers.
Some would say that the best way to experience this tour is by seeing everything first hand, but if you are curious to see photos and more, feel free to scroll further.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0776.jpg)
Your magical experience begins as soon as you walk into the building. All around the lobby are canvases with various Harry Potter characters, as well as props and other cool artifacts hanging off the walls.
Even the task of waiting in line (typically the most mundane thing ever) is a joy for this tour.
The queue moves very quickly and there is plenty for you to nerd out about as you wait.
Most notably, Harry’s cupboard under the stairs , is right next to the queuing area, ensuring that you get a perfect view of this iconic set.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0779.jpg)
You’ll notice that groups are taken in based on their spot in line, rather than their timed reservation.
This is why there is some flexibility when it comes to your arrival time.
If you’re a few minutes late, no worries, just hop in the queue and you will make it in all-the-same.
The tour begins with a brief video introduction to the franchise, followed by a preshow featuring Rupert, Daniel and Emma themselves.
As this preshow concludes, the screen reveals the doors to the Great Hall! During my tour, they invited any birthday kids to come up and help open the doors.
After seriously wishing it was my birthday, I bitterly watched two ecstatic kids live out their childhood dreams, revealing the first stop of the tour, the amazing…
1. Great Hall!
This is the the only part of the tour where your time will be limited, as they let tour groups in every few minutes.
As such, if you want photos, be sure to snap them quickly !
Being in this room is an unreal feeling. In addition to the long tables, cutlery and elaborate set pieces, you also get to view costumes from students in each house, and important Hogwarts faculty as well!
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0780.jpg)
2. The Big Room
After your time in the Great Hall, you are brought into the Big Room , which houses a variety of sets, props and costumes.
Here, you are given free reign to explore for yourself and gawk at all the amazing pieces the room contains!
Highlights for me were definitely the Potions classroom (complete with a Snape costume on display), the Gryffindor Common Room and the Weasley House .
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0800-1.jpg)
Many of the sets also have interactive buttons where you can make objects move by pressing them.
This was especially cool in the Weasley kitchen, where the touch of a button could make an iron move on its own, make vegetables chop themselves, etc. Super neat!
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0820.jpg)
For those seeking a sweet photo opp, there are several green screen opportunities to ride a broom as a Quidditch player and more! I didn’t wait in line for this bit, but it definitely looked like a lot of fun! Here are some photos from the Big Room:
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0804-1.jpg)
3. The Backlot
After perusing the Big Room, you are brought outside to the Backlot , home to a variety of sets including Harry’s Privet Drive home , the Hogwarts Bridge , the Knight Bus and of course, the concession stands!
It’s at this point in the tour that you can live out your childhood fantasy of sipping a nice, cold butterbeer.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0829.jpg)
Be sure to explore the bridge before you purchase a butterbeer, as no food or drink is allowed on that set.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0842.jpg)
Now, while public opinion seems to be split on the taste of butterbeer, I have to say that I. loved. every. single. sip.
It’s very possible that I was blinded by the magic of my surroundings, but I would argue that it’s worth a try regardless!
NOTE: If you want to purchase a souvenir cup, remember to bring a bag or something to wrap it in, as that stuff can get mighty sticky. Here’s a sample of the cool things you’ll see in the backlot!
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0839.jpg)
4. Art Department, Creature Effects and Diagon Alley
When you’re ready to go back inside, countless wonders from the creature effects & art department await you. Here, you really get to appreciate the depth of work put into creating a whole magical world.
I was really wowed by everything.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0850.jpg)
In this area, you will see masks, wigs, models and more of your favourite magical creatures.
In this second half of the tour as well, you get to walk through Diagon Alley. The details and work in the set will absolutely blow you away. The shops look so real, you’ll be tempted to go knocking on their doors.
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0860.jpg)
5. Hogwarts Castle Model
And lastly, the grand finale of the Harry Potter set tour… The model of Hogwarts!
This one here is a real showstopper.
A walkway surrounding the model allows you to view it from all angles, taking in the fine details of this wonderful school.
For many Harry Potter fans, seeing the castle like this is a dream come true. Now, if only it were real!
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0863.jpg)
At the end of the tour, just before the entrance of the Harry Potter Studio Tour Shop, you will see this wonderfully beautiful quote appear on the screen:
![studios tour london](https://happytowander.com/wp-content/uploads/Warner-Bros-Studio-Tour-Harry-Potter-0872.jpg)
It was at this point that I began to bawl. I couldn’t help it!
Everything that I loved about the series had been shown to me in the past few hours, and for that short period of time, I got to live out my dream of seeing the magical world that made my childhood.
Messy and gross, I walked into the gift shop, which was a massive treasure trove of things you never knew you wanted or needed. Wands for every character? I’ll take 100.
And there you have it, the most magical experience ever . One day, I will visit the Wonderful Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but until then, I think this tour has given me enough happy & geeky memories to last. …. At least for the next little while.
Any more questions about visiting the Warner Bros Studio Tour in London?

Enjoyed every bit of your blog article.Much thanks again. Really Cool.
Thanks for reading! 🙂
bookmarked!!, I like your blog!
thanks Jane!! 😀
Hi Christina! I’m going to be traveling alone to London this week, would the Harry Potter tour be fun for a solo traveler? Also, I was considering buying a groupon for a night tour, but the picture of you holding the butter beer appears to be outside? I guess we would be missing this part of the tour if I went at night then eh?
hi Lisa, I hope this comment isn’t too late! but YES YES YES the tour would 100% still be fun as a solo traveler (provided that you like Harry Potter haha). I didn’t realize they had a special night tour, but the butterbeer was outside in a special lot where they had lots of big props and set pieces (it’s part of the tour) so I can’t imagine they would leave it out for any reason. I have my fingers crossed for you!
Thank you for this article and the pics. I always need to take a peek of the atmosphere beforehand since I’m going solo. I hope they will let me use my selfie stick inside.

NEW: Divination, Destiny and Dark Magic: 1 May - 4 September 2024
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Warner Bros. Studio are putting on a new feature for 2024.
The Divination Tower
Check out Professor Trelawney's Divination classroom, with its 'tea-shop' feel, the jewel-toned velvet pouffes, numerous patterned rugs and Arabian-style lanterns.
Boggarts in the classroom...
You'll also get to see for the first time, a new section of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, complete with the Boggart wardrobe and sinister Boggart jack-in-the-box.
Ride the Knight Bus...
Plus - explore the inside of the legendary Knight Bus. Experience the bus as Harry would have: as the bus rattles, chandelier sways, beds move and London’s city streets zoom past.
Search for Scabbers...
Step foot in the Great Hall, decorated with over 100 floating candles and the Hogwarts Frog Choir, and begin your search for Scabbers. Use your Studio Tour passport to receive your ‘Mischief Managed’ stamp!
Dark Arts: 13 September - 10 November 2024
Like every Halloween, The Warner Bros. Studio knows how to deliver a thrilling exploration of all things Dark Arts.
Those famous floating pumpkins will of course make their annual appearance, over the great tables laden with the spooky feast.
As always you can follow the Dark Mark - the symbol of Lord Voldemort projected throughout the Studio Tour - mark them on your passport as you go around.
Enjoy learning wand combat with the interactive display of the wand choreographer Paul Harris (he of Order of the Phoenix through to Deathly Hallows fame).
Hogwarts in the Snow: 16 November 2024 – 19 January 2025
Planning your Christmas fun for next year? Hogwarts in the Snow will be back in 2024; hold the dates from 16 Nov 2024 - 19 Jan 2025.
The festive makeover will see the Great Hall transformed with the icy silvers of the iconic Yule Ball scenes. The Gryffindor common room will be dressed for the season and a blanket of film-making snow will cover the Forbidden Forest, Diagon Alley and the magnificent Hogwarts castle model.
What will I see at the Harry Potter Studio, London?
![studios tour london Harry Potter chess pieces at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-chess-pieces.jpg)
Featuring the original Studio sets of the critically acclaimed film franchise, the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter is a fan and family friendly day out not to be missed! As a self-guided walking tour, you will get the chance to wander down Diagon Alley, peeping into sets such as the Weasley's Joke shop, and Ollivanders. You'll get the chance to step into the actual Great Hall, complete with banqueting table and fireplace.
Further down on this page we describe in more detail the sets you will see on this breathtaking Harry Potter walking tour.
While the Studio Tour is aimed primarily at fans of the Harry Potter film series, if you have an interest in special effects and film sets more generally, there would be plenty to get out of this tour.
The detail you can see in the sets and props on show is awe inspiring and the information on offer as to the process of film making is very instructive. The guides are friendly and helpful and happy to chat if you want a bit of extra information. Some of them were extras from the films themselves so have a bit of insider knowledge.
Only the beginning part of the Studio Tour is guided (although guided Harry Potter tours are available) You will see two short films and then the guide gathers everyone at the doors of the great hall. If you're lucky (like it's your birthday!) you might even be picked to open the doors. After you step into the hall, they will explain a little about this magnificent room; following this you are free to take the rest of the tour at your own pace
Booking tickets for Warner Bros Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter
![studios tour london ticket collection desk, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of harry Potter](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-ticket-collection.jpg)
This Harry Potter attraction is always very popular. Unfortunately it is not an attraction that you can just arrive at on the day and gain entry. You will need to book your tickets in advance.
The further in advance you book your tickets the more choice of dates and times you will have. However, you may find late availability on some dates, so it is always worth checking.
You have two choices when it comes to tickets: you can book independently direct from the Warner Bros. Studio Tour website , or alternatively, you can book a combined transport and Studio entrance ticket (see banner below), which will take you from central London to the Studios in Watford. For the latter option you pay extra for the convenience per ticket.
See our page Warner Bros Studio independently by public transport for more details on how to do it on your own.
There are currently three London tour operators who will take you to the Harry Potter Studio in a luxury coach, from Victoria (or Kings Cross) in Central London, with around 4-4.5 hours Studio time.
Other tickets options are available for example:
Warner Bros. Studio Tour with Oxford in one day
Warner Bros. Studio Tour with hotel pick-up from Central London
Harry Potter walking tour + Studio
Where is Warner Bros Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter?
The Warner Bros Studio Tour is not in the centre of London, it is located just outside London. The nearest railway station from London is Watford Junction from where a dedicated shuttle (not free) runs to the studio.
For detailed information on how to find the Warner Bros. Studio please see our dedicated page Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - visiting independently
For those visitors staying in Central London , several tour operators offer a dedicated shuttle bus to the studios which include tickets. The tours often have better availability of studio tickets that can be sold out many weeks ahead.
How long is the Harry Potter tour?
Now the Studio has expanded even more, you should allow at least four hours for your visit. Realistically, allowing time for lunch and doing any extras such as Ride a Broomstick (which involve queuing time) many people find they can stay six hours or more.
If you have small children you will need to allow for making stops (see below facilities for children ).
Arriving at Warner Bros Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter
![studios tour london JK Rowling quote Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-rowling-quote.jpg)
If coming by bus, it will take you to just a hundred metres or so from the entrance, and then you are left to walk inside independently.
There are now more queues for security; if you didn't get your tickets delivered to your home address, you will need to pick them up from the ticket machines and a box office outside, you will need to queue for this.
You will then need to queue to go through security which includes a bag check and personal scan. If you are going on an organised tour, your arrival time will allow you about twenty minutes to queue, ready for your pre-booked entry time into the Studio itself.
Facilities and eating opportunities at Harry Potter Studios
![studios tour london Backlot Cafe Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-backlot.jpg)
Cafes and eating places at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London
If you have any extra spare time before your tour begins, you can grab a drink in the Cafe, which also sells a range of snacks.
There are a number of cafes at the Warner Bros. Studio including The Chocolate Frog Cafe at the beginning of your tour, serving indulgent treats such as the specialty hot chocolate and ice cream.
There is also the Hub Cafe serving Starbucks drinks and snacks, and the Food Hall which includes breakfast, sandwiches and hot and cold meals, and lots from the bakery.
You can bring your own food with you but it must only be eaten in the Backlot area or outside picnic area. The Backlot Cafe is located halfway round the tour and it is here you can sample the ever-popular drink, Butterbeer!
Butterbeer is non -alcoholic and has quite a sweet froth to it, with a slight taste of butterscotch. In addition the Backlot also serves hot food – both children’s and adult’s - from a daily specials board, sandwiches and salads, snacks and hot and cold drinks.
You can choose to eat and drink inside or out, where there are nice views of the next section of the tour - the Knight Bus, Hogwarts Bridge, Godric's Hollow and Privet Drive .
Gift shops at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter
There are now three gift shops at the Studio Tour. There is the Railway Shop , a train-themed souvenir shop, the Forbidden Forest Shop (selling Forbidden Forest related items), and the main Studio Shop located at the exit.
At these three you can purchase such Harry Potter merchandise as the books by J.K. Rowling, Hogwarts T-shirts and robes, house jumpers, pens, key rings, postcards, sweets, wands and cuddly toys. Prices range from around £2 for a postcard to around £20 for a cuddly toy.
In one section there is even a personalisation service - making that gift just that extra bit special.
There’s a toilet block in the car park (by the bus stop), and a bigger rest room in the lobby, plus a couple of small toilets in the first half of the tour and more toilets by the Backlot Cafe, halfway round the tour.
If you need somewhere to store any small suitcases (or coats and bags) you may have, you can do this free of charge in the lobby cloakroom. Pushchairs are also encouraged to be left here if possible due to the restricted amount of space in the Studio Tour.
There is free Wi-Fi throughout the Studio Tour - so you can share your photos as you go (see below for restrictions).
Digital guide hire and souvenir guidebook
If you wish you can hire a Digital Guide, with extra information on the Studio Tour, for around £5 from the desk in the lobby before you go in. You can also purchase a Souvenir Guidebook of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London for around £10, with behind-the-scenes secrets and beautiful photography.
Photography and video footage
The cinema areas and the green-screen areas are the only parts where you are not allowed to take photographs or video footage. Otherwise, you are free to do so in all other areas of the Studio Tour.
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London encourages you to share your photos with them on social media and there are signs up around the Studio telling you how to do this.
Interactive opportunities at Harry Potter Studio including free and paid for
![studios tour london Marauder's Map - Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - the Making of Harry Potter](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-marauders-map-sign.jpg)
As well as the sets and props there are also a few interactive things you can do at the Studio. For example, at Weasley's Burrow there is plenty to do.
There is a wand choreography demonstration (free), featuring a video demonstrating correct wand moves; very popular with the kids as they see themselves perform in front of two mirrors, much like the mirror of ‘Erised.’
If you wish to ‘ride a broomstick ’ you can pay extra (check the prices on the board beforehand), to perform in front of a green screen’, on to which a marvelous Hogwarts background is super imposed, and as a memento take home with you your choice of photograph, DVD or HD USB. This attraction is a highlight so it is best to check out the queues and make your timings accordingly. Note, photography is not allowed in this area.
Outside you can also have your photo taken in the original Ford Anglia car , like Harry and Ron, and even wobble yourself over Hogwarts Bridge!
Throughout there are interactive touch-screen boards which play videos showing the cast and crew, or information about the making of the films, such as the 'Marauder's Map ' board, and around the magnificent Hogwarts Castle.
Accessibility and children
![studios tour london Wand Demonstration Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-wand-demo.jpg)
Warner Bros. Studio Tour London have done everything they can to make the Studio Tour accessible for wheelchair users. There is a lower window for ticket collection and step free access to the attraction. The Studio Tour itself, including the loos, gift shop and special effects green screen area, is completely accessible.
If you have small children or just need a break yourself, there are seats dotted around inside where they can sit and rest if needed. Fold up chairs are available for those who require one if you ask in the lobby. There are also toilets to be found around the Studio Tour.
There are some interactive things for younger ones to do but because of the nature of the Studio Tour and the amount of information on offer, it is probably most appropriate for children years eight and up.
As you hand your tickets over, if you have any children with you, they will be given a Studio Tour Passport each. In this A5 size booklet kids are able to collect stamps as they wander around the Studio Tour, and even find the Golden Snitch if they follow the clues on each page.
Entering the Studio and the Great Hall at Hogwarts
![studios tour london Entrance to the Great Hall Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry_potter_studio_outside_greathall.jpg)
There are several 'holding rooms' before you enter the Studio itself. One you have gone through the lobby area, you queue to enter a smallish room featuring props and memories on screens of the Harry Potter films, and even Harry's cupboard under the stairs from Privet Drive - where the Story Begins...
The main cast of Harry Potter warmly welcome you to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter
When you begin your tour you are guided into a large room with cinematography on the walls, and an introduction behind the original motivations for making the films. You will see interviews with the producer and the ‘discoverer’ of Harry Potter, the production consultant, and many others who were there from the beginning.
You are then guided into a cinema room, where you take your seat to watch a short film introduced by the three main actors themselves, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. They acknowledge all the hard work of the thousands of people who worked behind the scenes on the famous films and made them become a reality.
Step inside the Great Hall at Hogwarts School
The magic really comes alive as you step in through the doors of the Great Hall, of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As you walk down the real stone floor, you enter the vast hall, with its high ceiling and tall Gothic windows. You can see the long house tables, dressed with individual place settings, all hand created for the films. Around the edges of the hall you will see models dressed in Hogwarts robes, the great fireplace and winged beasts holding the lanterns.
At the top of the room is the high table where models of the staff stand; Dumbledore at his Owl Lectern, Professors McGonagall and Snape, in their robes, and a huge Hagrid. Here too is the famous Sorting Hat, sitting at the front, just as it did in the films. After about ten minutes you are told they have to close the doors to allow the next group to come through, but you are free to come back later if you wish.
Explore the main Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter at your leisure
You are then free to go at your leisure into the rest of the studios. There is so much to see here it is great to be able to take your time and wander at your own pace. One of the first things you see as you go in is the 'ice palace' used in the film The Goblet of Fire, for the Yule Ball.
Below we look at some of the amazing sets from the eight films you will get to see.
What sets will I see at the Harry Potter Studio London?
![studios tour london Professor Sprout's Herbology Greenhouse, Mandrake, Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-mandrake.jpg)
In the studios, large sets intermingle with smaller props, all of which took months to create.
Professor Sprout's Greenhouse
In 2022 a new permanent addition appeared at Warner Bros. Studio London: Professor Sprout's Greenhouse.
At the studio you will have the chance to step into the greenhouse and stop to pull out a potted Mandrake as part of an interactive display.
Be enthralled by exotic and magical plants as you learn Herbology lessons with Professor Sprout.
Look out for the Venomous Tentacula hanging from the ceiling as you walk through the greenhouse.
A fantastic new addition to the much loved studio.
Gringotts Bank
Featuring the magnificent banking hall, with crystal chandeliers come face to face with the goblin bankers, peering down at you. Visit the Lestrange vault, including the Sword of Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.
Find out about our experience of the exhibition by reading our blog on the Gringotts Bank expansion .
Other top sets at the Harry Potter Studio
You will see the boys’ dormitory complete with made up beds around the central fire-burner.
Snape’s Potions room contains over 950 potions jars, as well as cauldrons ready for mixing on the table, dried herbs and even shrunken heads!
At Dumbledore’s Tower there is one of the most expensive set pieces created – the telescope – only used in a background scene. Here you can see mannequins of Dumbledore standing in his robes, and shelves and shelves of books, as well as old magical artefacts, such as the mysterious pensieve.
At the Weasley’s Burrow you can wave your hands over various boards, making them ‘magically’ start performing mundane household chores such as chopping carrots, knitting and ironing! This is popular with kids and adults alike. You can see here the Weasley magical clock with its nine golden hands, each pointing to one member of the Weasley family and their whereabouts.
Nearby is Hagrid’s hut with its quirky roof; a cosy indoor scene complete with mannequin of Hagrid, table and chairs, furs, lanterns and cauldron on the fireplace.
In the Gryffindor common room, more life size mannequins stand, Ron, Hermione and Harry, and you see the actual chairs by the fire, with real tapestries and portraits (all created from scratch for the films) and the wireless with ‘moving lips.’
Around the corner you can view the portrait of the Fat Lady, the Mirror of Erised , and the giant clock pendulum from Hogwarts Clock Tower.
If you are interested to see the individual wands for all the characters, a wand dial features all the principle ones, and you can see up close how differently they are all crafted. More than 3000 were made for the films altogether.
You will see the area with the set of the Ministry of Magic and the giant Magic is Might monument of muggles being crushed in their rightful place by the statue, from the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Malfoy’s Manor features the long table with assembled Death Eaters, Voldemort at the head with Nagini the 20 foot long snake, slithering down underneath a suspended model of the victim in the stories.
Professor Dolores Umbridge's pink office is on show, complete with all the painted kitten plates you remember from the films.
It is in this area where the famous winged-boar gates of Hogwarts stand, (the gates are based on Il Porcellino, a bronze fountain of a boar, made in the 1630s in Florence, Italy).
They guard the entrance to The Forbidden Forest . Hagrid stands just inside the gates, you can peek through and see him holding his lantern as you wait for the gates to open - to enter if you dare!
In the Forbidden Forest you'll see 19 enormous trees each with a diameter of over 12 feet and a full size model of Buckbeak as well as the magnificent Hippogriff and Aragog the giant spider, and his rather large babies.
Following the Forbidden Forest are more famous sets: the impressive Hogwarts Express , the enchanting Diagon Alley and fabulous outside sets including the Knight Bus, No 4 Privet Drive, the Hogwarts Bridge, Lily and James's house in Godric's Hollow and the Ford Anglia car .
Hogwarts Express
![studios tour london Hogwarts Express Warner Bros. Studio Tour](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry_potter_studio_express_cropped.jpg)
Your next part of the tour takes you through to a recreation of Kings Cross Station, with its own ‘Platform 9 ¾’. Here you can pose for a photo, of yourself, pushing the model luggage trolley ‘through’ the wall, just like in the films.
The Hogwarts Express is a beautiful red steam engine, the original used in the films, and you can board it! This is a popular attraction, and there is normally a slight queue to board. Once on board, you can walk down the corridor, peering into the compartments complete with student belongings; sweet wrappers from the trolley lady, satchels and an owl cage.
Near to the train is the Railway Shop, a train-themed souvenir shop, where you can purchase Harry Potter memorabilia.
What sets are there outside at Harry Potter studios?
![studios tour london Knight Bus and Privet Drive Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry_potter_studio_knightbus.jpg)
There is seating outside just beyond the Backlot Cafe where you are allowed to bring your own food to eat. Here you also get a nice view of the Knight Bus, the houses in Privet Drive, Hogwarts Bridge, Godric's Hollow, and further down the Ford Anglia car too!
At the Knight Bus you can go inside the back door and look inside... see Bert and Ernie - the shrunken heads!
Number 4, Privet Drive
The famous house where it all began... Step inside Number 4, Privet Drive.
See the Dursleys' living room with a flurry of Hogwarts letters from the iconic scene in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , plus their kitchen and the Aunt Marge dinner scene from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban .
Hogwarts Bridge
The bridge itself is a highlight – you can wander along it yourself and imagine you are walking up to the famous castle.
Lily and James’ house in Godric’s Hollow
See the fated house that Harry lived in until he was one - when he was attacked by Lord Voldemort himself. You can even see the blast in the roof where the attack claimed the lives of Lily and James Potter.
Ford Anglia and chess game
Outside there is the famous large scale chess pieces from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone , and the original Ford Anglia, in which you are free to sit and have your picture taken.
The Creature Shop
![studios tour london Creature Shop Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-creature-shop.jpg)
After leaving the courtyard area, you enter the second part of your tour, the Creature Shop, where there are displays of the animatronics used, and waxworks of main cast.
Here you can see suspended up high the huge model of Aragog, the giant spider and the basilisk’s head.
There is also the animatronic Buckbeak, and Hagrid, masks of the Gringotts Goblins, models of Dobby and Kreacher, and a moving Monster Book of Monsters.
Diagon Alley
![studios tour london Diagon Alley Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-diagon-alley.jpg)
Following this is one of the highlights of the Studio, a walk down the actual Diagon Alley!
Entering at Gringott’s Bank with all its wonky charm; next door is Ollivanders , the famous shop where Harry gets his first wand.
Other shops include Eeylops Owl Emporium , Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream shop , Flourish and Blotts Bookseller, and very overtly in its bright colours, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes , Fred and George’s Joke Shop.
This is a lovely set to take photos in.
Set designs and paintings from the Harry Potter films
![studios tour london Hogwarts Castle set design](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-minatures.jpg)
Leading out from Diagon Alley you go through to a room where you can see lots of drawings and blueprints of all the set designs, such as Hagrid’s Hut, the Burrow, Hogsmeade and of course Hogwarts itself.
If you like artwork there is a white gallery with lots of beautiful paintings of the characters, with notable scenes from the books.
If architecture is of interest, here you will also see amazing scaled models of all the buildings featured in the films; such as Diagon Alley, Ollivanders Wand Shop, Hogsmeade and classrooms in Hogwarts. The models themselves are highly intricate and fascinating to see.
Hogwarts Castle, the original scale model used in the films
![studios tour london Hogwarts Castle Warner Bros. Studio Tour London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-castle.jpg)
When you enter the next room there is, in a quietly blue lit room, a very wonderful scene: Hogwarts Castle, the original large castle used for the films, resplendent on its mountain side, with pine forests surrounding.
It is a 1:24 scale model of Hogwarts; this is very large and fills a great space, allowing you to walk all the way around it. The lighting is very effective, changing through ‘day-time’ to ‘night-time,’ giving very different perspectives.
Every part was detailed so you can see the astronomy tower, the Owlery, the bridge and the courtyard as well as the Great Hall.
Around the model castle are many interactive screens – great for kids – giving information on how it was constructed and how it was used in filming.
Wand Tribute Room
![studios tour london Wand Tribute room at Harry Potter World London](https://www.londontoolkit.com/Images/harry-potter-studio-wand-tribute-room-close.jpg)
Following the Castle room you exit via an impressive Wand Room, a room stacked high with thousands of pretend wand boxes. This is a lovely tribute room where each member of the cast and crew of all eight films has their name inscribed on a wand box. Appropriately, J.K. Rowling herself has a place here.
This room leads you back out to the lobby, through the gift shop where you can pick up a memento of your Harry Potter day.
And so ends your Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. A very magical day out, with masses of opportunities to learn more about the films at every corner. Like Hogwarts, it might just be somewhere you wish to return to again.

Make a day out of 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' in London
London is teeming with spell-binding Harry Potter sights and adventures to get you in a wizarding mood before seeing the West End show.
![studios tour london Marianka Swain](https://images.ctfassets.net/6pezt69ih962/2nFMPqb7UXYBkICTfAyto2/528e2984397ff559e2c3b9f95e67b100/Marianka_Swain_Author_Photo.jpg?w=32&h=32)
If you’re planning a trip to the incredible Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in the West End, why not make your day that bit more magical by planning some other activities? London has plenty of wizard Harry Potter -themed fun on offer.
A trip to the Warner Brothers Studios where they filmed all of the Harry Potter movies is a must for any budding Gryffindor (or other house of the sorting hat’s choice!), as is potion-making at The Cauldron and a visit to the official shop at King’s Cross Station.
Book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets on London Theatre.
Warner Brothers Studio Tour
If you’ve ever dreamt of walking into the Great Hall at Hogwarts, shopping in Diagon Alley, or taking a trip on Hagrid’s motorbike, then you need to make a bee-line for Warner Brothers Studios. There you’ll get to see behind the scenes of the smash-hit Harry Potter film franchise, from the astonishing sets to costumes, props, and more.
Begin your adventure just like Harry, Ron, and Hermione did by heading to Platform 9¾, where you’ll find the iconic Hogwarts Express steam engine. You can pose with your own luggage trolley and vanish right into the wall.
Plus there’s everything from Dumbledore’s office to Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a Nimbus 2000, Voldemort’s snake Nagini, the Ministry of Magic – and you can even buy a cup of butterbeer.
Address: Studio Tour Drive, Leavesden, Hertfordshire
Book Warner Brothers Studio Tour tickets on London Theatre.
It was at the Reptile House at the zoo that Harry Potter began to realise he might have magical powers. In the first book, Harry talks to a caged boa constrictor and, after his horrible cousin Dudley elbows him to the ground, he accidentally makes the glass front of the tank disappear – allowing the snake to escape.
If you go to London Zoo, you can head to the Reptile House where they filmed this scene in the film with Daniel Radcliffe playing Harry – although you’ll find the enclosure is actually home to a black mamba. Still, it’s a sssss-super trip.
Address: Regent’s Park, London NW1
The Wizard Walk of London
This is a fantastic way to explore this great city – but with a Harry Potter twist! Join an expert guide to potter around London while exploring various sites that were either filming locations or which inspired JK Rowling in her magical creation.
For example, visit the building that became wizarding pub The Leaky Cauldron in the first film, as well as Clink Prison Museum, the model for the terrifying Azkaban. St Paul’s Cathedral made an appearance in the third movie, while the Millennium Bridge came to a sticky end in the sixth film, and Borough Market had a cameo when Harry was catching the Knight Bus.
Address: Meeting point outside Pizza Express, 20-22 Leadenhall Market, London EC3
The Cauldron
Ever thought that if you got into potions class at Hogwarts, you would definitely rock it? Here’s your chance to find out at specialist Dalston bar The Cauldron. Sign up for The Cauldron London Potion Making Experience and you’ll receive a wizard’s robe, a wand, and a spell-binding masterclass.
Using your magical powers, plus some top tips in mixology by the expert Potion Masters, you’ll enter an enchanted forest and learn to concoct otherworldly elixirs in your cauldron – otherwise known as delicious molecular cocktails. Cheers!
Address: 5D Stoke Newington Road, London N16
House of MinaLima
This charming gallery in Soho is dedicated to the visual art of the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts movies. Run by the designers who actually worked on both, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, it’s a real passion project – and a thrilling glimpse at how the world of the films was dreamed up.
The gallery’s free exhibition has four levels showcasing prints and graphics that were created for the movies, as well as beautiful books and art prints that you can purchase. You’ll also see familiar props on display, such as the Hogwarts letters with their red seal and pages from The Daily Prophet .
Address: 157 Wardour Street, London W1
The Harry Potter Shop at Platform 9¾
Stock up on all the essential Harry Potter merchandise, treats, and presents for fellow superfans at the official store, which is located – of course – at King’s Cross Station. Start by getting your photograph taken as you whisk your trolley through the magical wall, then head inside for a wizard shopping experience.
Here you’ll find everything from bespoke Harry Potter bags to T-shirts, caps, homeware, jewellery, and more. You can even select a hand-crafted wand, order a personalised Hogwarts robe, or raid the sweet trolley. Chocolate frog, anyone?
Address: King’s Cross Station, London N1
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Now you’re ready for the ultimate Harry Potter experience: the phenomenal play in the West End, which continues Rowling’s wizarding saga following the book series. Harry is now grown up and it’s his son Albus who is heading off to Hogwarts, where he befriends Scorpius Malfoy and inevitably gets into trouble as he battles dark forces.
As brilliant as the books and movies are, there’s nothing quite like the jaw-dropping wonder of seeing magic happening right in front of you, whether it’s someone transforming after drinking Polyjuice Potion or the Time-Turner at work. You get the chance to revisit all your favourite characters, and meet new friends.
