Original set
The Great Hall
The first set on the tour: the long tables of the four houses, the real stone floor and the suits of armour. It was dressed to match whichever film was being shot.
Discover the Warner Bros Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter, the Leavesden studios where the whole saga was filmed. The tour includes transport from central London and your entry ticket, so all you have to do is enjoy the magic.
The Harry Potter Studios —full name Warner Bros. Studio Tour London – The Making of Harry Potter— is the attraction set on the real sound stages at Leavesden, north-west of London, where the eight films of the saga were shot over more than a decade. It's not a theme park: it's a behind-the-scenes walk through the original sets, costumes, props and special effects that brought the wizarding world to life.
You walk through the Great Hall exactly as it was built for filming, stroll down Diagon Alley with its shop fronts, peer into Dumbledore's office and finish in front of the breathtaking scale model of Hogwarts castle. It's a visit made for die-hard fans and film lovers alike: you understand exactly how the magic was made, shot by shot.
The easiest way to visit from the city is the tour with transport from London included, which sorts out the journey to Leavesden and your entry ticket in a single booking.
Booked through Civitatis, this tour picks you up in central London, takes you by coach to the Leavesden studios and brings you back at the end of the visit. It includes entry to the Studio Tour.

Walk down the wizarding world's shopping street, past the shop fronts of Ollivanders, Gringotts and Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, exactly as they appeared on screen.
A dark, mist-filled set with enormous trees and creatures from the saga. One of the most atmospheric parts of the whole visit.
Step onto the platform beside the Hogwarts Express locomotive and push a trolley towards the wall. One of the most photographed spots of all.
The purple triple-decker bus that appears in Prisoner of Azkaban, alongside other original vehicles from the shoot.
The scale model of the castle used for the aerial shots: enormous, incredibly detailed and lit with changing light. The perfect finale to the tour.
