The latest attraction to arrive at the Studio (in 2019) was Gringotts Bank, a glittering spectacle of goblins and jewels - and a special effects mastery to finish.

Recent Warner Bros Studio Tour expansions - Gringotts Bank
In 2019 the studio launched their latest expansion to the Studio - Gringotts Bank. A glittering exhibition featuring the magnificent banking hall, with crystal chandeliers and the goblin tellers’ desks as we remember them from the films, this one's not to be missed.
The detail extends to piles of Galleons, Sickles, and Knuts. You can even marvel at the painstakingly hand-created prosthetic masks of the goblin bankers.
In addition to the banking hall, you’ll also see the Lestrange vault, including the Sword of Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.
The exhibition is included with the normal entry ticket for The Making of Harry Potter.
You can find out about our experience of the exhibition by reading our blog on the Gringotts Bank expansion.
