Enjoy Wizarding World magic after dark with a semi private tour at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter, exclusive to *International Friends.
Travel by executive coach from our London city centre meeting point for the short 1 hour drive to Leavesden. Upon arrival you will be met by Warner Bros staff. Avoiding the queues you will then be whisked into the tour which will begin with a private welcome talk detailing how the iconic books were turned into one of the most successful movie franchises of all time! You will then step into the original Great Hall, first built for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, where you will enjoy a private tour with a glass of Champagne while you take in the filmmaking magic of the iconic set.
This exclusive tour will enjoy private time in the Great Hall among a smaller group of only 50 visitors. With extra time in the iconic set, you'll be able to explore, take as many photos as possible, interact with Warner Bros expert staff and discover the breath-taking details up close before continuing on to enjoy the full Studio Tour at your leisure. You will then have free time to explore the Studio at the end of day. Step on to authentic sets, discover the magic behind spellbinding special effects and explore the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Harry Potter film series.
Visit Platform 9 ¾ and board the original Hogwarts Express before pulling up a Mandrake in Professor Sprout's greenhouse. Enjoy a cold Butterbeer in the backlot café before you marvel at the grandeur of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, all before wandering down Diagon Alley.
Located at the Studio where all eight films were produced, the Studio Tour showcases the British talent and artistry that went into the making of the Wizarding World.
