Warner Bros. Studios is a huge studio complex in Leavesden, in south-east England, where all eight Harry Potter films were made. In March 2012 the company opened the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter. The site was officially opened by Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, on 26 April 2013. The author of the Harry Potter books, J. K. Rowling, was one of the guests. 

The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter is one of London’s most popular attractions, and is a must-see attraction for the fans of the magical books and films. Over 6,000 tourists a day visit the studio at peak times in summer. The tour is designed to take you on a magical, behind-the-scenes journey into the world of Harry Potter. Visitors will relive the magic through the eyes of the filmmakers, see special effects demonstrations, walk through workshops and learn the secrets of making the Harry Potter film series. 


Take a look inside Dumbledore’s office, step onto the stone floor of the Hogwarts Great Hall and walk along the famous street of Diagon Alley. Other sets include the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s Hut, the Potions classroom and Professor Umbridge’s office at the Ministry of Magic. Get on the Hogwarts Express at Platform 93/4 and go on this unforgettable adventure filled with movie-making magic. See the original life-sized sets, props (реквизит), and costumes used in the film.


At the end of your tour, visit the Studio Shop to buy a magic gift to take home: a wand and other Harry Potter items. It is truly a magical place. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience and you will definitely believe in magic!
