Warner Brothers Harry Potter Tours 

Warner Bros. Studio Tour in London England- Let the Wizardry Fun Begin!

If your children have anything in common with most children in the western world then they've fallen in love with the Harry Potter films and books.

So what better attraction to visit than the actual studios where the epic films were made. Visitors can see the actual sets, costumes and props from the films and learn "behind the scenes" facts and insider information.

Learn about how the effects were done and even take part in reenacting some of them. See how the animatronics were achieved and how the creative technical side of the films was mastered.

As the website says "secrets will be revealed." This is not a theme park but rather a real look at what went into making the movies.

Warner Brothers Harry Potter Tours

The Studio Tour is located at the Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden where the Harry Potter films were made over the course of 10 years. The original sets, costumes and props are still there waiting for visitors.

An experienced guide will take small groups around the studio explaining where Harry Potter scenes were filmed and how.

Among the things you can see on the tour are a number of the original sets like the Great Hall, Dumbledore's office and others.

You'll be able to walk down Diagon Alley, see the shop fronts and visit the Gringotts Wizarding Bank. Among the props on show are Harry's Nimbus 2000 and Hagrid's motorcycle.
