Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - Golden Tours, what to expect

The tour itself is a walking tour that on average takes around four hours. The Making of Harry Potter is not a theme park and as such will not feature rides, or experiences of this nature.

The attraction will give visitors the first ever chance to go behind the scenes of the actual sets of the Harry Potter film series.

As well as the impressive sets, you will also discover hundreds of costumes, props and animatronics that bring to life the incredible skill and effort involved in creating the much loved films.

Only a small part of the Studio Tour is guided so you can take the tour at your own pace. Some parts of the tour are interactive and can be touched, some sections can be viewed and not touched.

Popular highlights include: Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Express, Forbidden Forest, Gringotts Bank, Dumbledore's Office, the Common Room, Weasley's home and Hagrid's hut.

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.

To learn more about the sets and what the Studio is like in detail please see our page Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - what to expect.
