Experience the magic of Harry Potter on a tour of Warner Bros. Studios: The Making of Harry Potter. If you’re a fan of the books or movies, or know someone who is, there is no better experience while you’re in London than to see where the movies were made. The studios, located just outside London in Leavesden, are a huge complex where you’ll find life size film sets such as the Great Hall and Diagon Alley, huge rooms filled with original props from all eight movies, and even more behind the scenes information, stories and items about how everyone involved brought the movies to life.

You can learn all about the detail that went into creating props, such as wands, masks and magical items. There’s even a scale replica of Hogwarts castle! Find out the CGI secrets used to create magical creatures such as dragons and unicorns, try a taste of butterbeer and have a walk around Number 4 Privet Drive to see where it all began. Not to mention, take some photos on the Hogwarts Express and perhaps pick up a Chocolate Frog or some Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans in the gift shop! You can enjoy your stay in budget hotels in Kensington, London while enjoying your trip to Warner Bros. Studio that will not break the bank.

Kids and adults alike will love Warner Bros. Studios and leave with a new love and appreciation for the Harry Potter books and films which changed the lives of children and brought magic to everyone.
