The Warner Bros. Studio Tour London provides an amazing opportunity to explore the magic of the Harry Potter™ films – one of the most successful film series of all time. This unique walking tour takes you behind the scenes and showcases an array of beautiful sets, costumes, and props. It also reveals some closely guarded secrets, including facts about the special effects and animatronics that made these films so hugely popular around the world.

The Sets, Props & Costumes

Step onto Platform 9 and 3/4 and venture inside the original Hogwarts Express steam engine! This permanent exhibit gives visitors the chance to climb aboard the train carriage and pose with a luggage trolley as it disappears through the platform wall.

Walk through Diagon Alley, home to Gringotts Bank, Ollivanders Wand Shop, and Mr Mulpepper’s Apothecary. This iconic set was first seen in the first Harry Potter film, where Harry first chose his wand.
