Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter w/ Hotel Pick Up (AM)

What your day looks like

Follow in the footsteps of Harry, Ron and Hermione as you step onto authentic film sets and experience the magic that went into creating one of the most popular film series of all time! Stroll along the famous cobbles of Diagon Alley, featuring the shop fronts of Ollivander's, Flourish and Blotts, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and Eeylops Owl Emporium. See iconic props from the films, including Harry’s Nimbus 2000, Hagrid’s motorcycle and the Philosopher's Stone! Explore the Forbidden Forest and rediscover other memorable sets from the film series, including the Great Hall, the Gryffindor common room, the boys’ dormitory, Hagrid’s hut and the Potion’s classroom. No visit would be complete without visiting Platform 9 ¾, and on this tour, you’ll have a chance to snap a photo with the trolley on your way to catch the Hogwarts Express. Opened in 2019 you can now also explore Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Lined by towering marble pillars with three magnificent crystal chandeliers and finished with real brass leaf, you will discover costumes and prosthetics belonging to Bogrod, Griphook and many other goblin bankers, as well as inkwells, quills, ledgers and piles of Galleons, Sickles and Knuts will complete the goblin tellers’ desks as seen on screen. Enter the depths of the Lestrange vault used to store the treasures of Bellatrix Lestrange, including the Sword of Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, one of Voldemort’s many Horcruxes. Here, you can have a unique photo opportunity allowing you to step inside the Lestrange vault and surround yourselves with treasure. What's On Magical Mischief: 24th January - 27th April 2026 Magical Mischief is back, immersing visitors in the filmmaking trickery required to pull off the magical mishaps seen in the Harry Potter film series. Fans will experience O.W.L. examinations under Professor Umbridge’s watchful eye in the iconic Great Hall set, complete with the swinging pendulum and paper firing exam desks. Summer Feature: 7th May - 7th September 2026 You won’t need a Time-Turner to re-visit where the magic of Harry Potter began next summer. Celebrate 25 years of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone with a brand-new feature at Warner Bros. Studio Tour London. Experience wizarding artefacts, just as Harry Potter did during his first year at Hogwarts. From the mystifying Philosopher’s Stone to the iconic Golden Snitch, discover how each magical prop was carefully crafted for filming. Dark Arts: 16th September - 8th November 2026 Look out for the Death Eaters’ procession through the Studio Tour in a menacing display, showcasing the authentic costumes and sinister choreography seen on-screen. You’ll also be able to learn duelling techniques in our Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and put your spell-casting to the test against the Death Eaters! Ominous Dementors will also be lurking throughout the Studio Tour, so keep a cautious eye out to find them cloaked by darkness in the Forbidden Forest. Hogwarts in the Snow: 14th November - 17th January 2027 The beloved Hogwarts in the Snow feature will return for the festive season. The spectacular Great Hall will be transformed into scenes from the Yule Ball as seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The Gryffindor common room, Forbidden Forest and Diagon Alley will be dressed for Christmas and the Hogwarts castle model will be coated in snow using the same technique used in the Harry Potter film series.
